Chat with AI

Use the AI Assistant tool window to have a conversation with the LLM (Large Language Model), ask questions about your project, or iterate on a task.

AI Assistant takes into consideration the language and technologies used in your project, as well as local changes and version control system commits. You can search for files, classes, and element usages.
