- [Instructor] The JetBrains AI Assistant can generate entire functions based on descriptions, method signatures, or even just comments. What makes it really powerful is that it understands your existing code-based context, and knows about your classes, your imports, coding patterns, and project structure. Let's take a look at this in action. Let's say I am working on a data processing application, and I need to create a function that reads a CSV file and converts it to a map format. We can open a window for a prompt with Option + Enter, or Control + Clic on Mac. Either way, you'll go to AI Actions, and you can click Generate Code. Here we can write a prompt that describes the code we want generated. The more specific, the better. So we'll ask it to implement a method signature that parses the CSV to a map. Here, we ask it to implement the function and then use it in our main function. In real time, we can see the AI write the code. Let's take a look at what the AI generated. It uses…
