I’m taking a break from my normal content this week because JetBrains have just released an early access preview of their AI Assistant, and I wanted to be the first to make a video on it!

As luck would have it, I needed to make a diagram of the package structure of the Gilded Rose codebase, and I couldn’t find anything in the IntelliJ menus, so I thought that I’d see if AI assistant could help.

By the way, to access the tool, you need to download IDEA 2023.2 EAP, and log in to the AI service - details are here https://blog.jetbrains.com/idea/2023/06/ai-assistant-in-jetb... There seems to be a bit of a waiting list, so I hope that this isn’t too much of a tease if you don’t get access straight away.
