JetBrains AI Assistant Panned In JetBrains Marketplace

Despite having been downloaded nearly 23 million times, the JetBrains AI Assistant has received bad reviews on the company’s JetBrains Marketplace website, prompting JetBrains to remove some of the reviews.

Unveiled in December 2023, the JetBrains AI Assistant rates only 2.3 stars out of a possible five stars on the company’s ratings system, with 851 total ratings as of May 1. “I’ve been a long-time user of JetBrains IDEs and generally appreciate the thoughtful tooling they offer,” reviewer Haso Keric wrote. “Unfortunately, the AI Assistant doesn’t live up to the same standard. It feels bolted on rather than integrated, and it quickly becomes more of a novelty than a productivity tool.”
