IntelliJ Gemini Code Assist 1.40.0

Outline in IntelliJ (Preview)

• The outline feature automatically creates AI-assisted documentation by generating short, English summaries of code blocks within the Outline tab of the Gemini Code Assist plugin. Outlines help developers to achieve rapid understanding and to focus on abstraction, without getting bogged down by syntactical details.

You can change the settings to disable automatic outline generation, which instead lets you generate outlines of files manually.

Finish Changes in IntelliJ (Preview)

• The finish changes feature acts as an AI pair programmer that observes your in-progress work and completes the job, eliminating the need to write complex prompts. The core strength of the finish changes feature lies in its flexibility, allowing you to use a mix of input styles, such as pseudocode, #TODOs, or half-written code. This combination minimizes distraction and ensures you remain in control of the high-level design.
