When AI is built into an IDE, deterministic and non-deterministic tools work together in one place. The IDE remains the control plane, and AI helps where you read, refactor, debug, and test. We covered this live: https://jb.gg/sdd-post-blue

Can you trust an agent to test its own code? Or is writing tests a key part of human-in-the-loop validation? With good patterns to follow, agent-written tests can help maintain velocity without sacrificing coverage. We covered this live: https://jb.gg/sdd-post-blue

Junie CLI now connects directly to your JetBrains IDE. The agent sees what you see. Builds what you build. Refactors with full semantic context. Learn more: https://jb.gg/nwhdqi

Agents excel when the specs are known, like a compiler, browser, or language server. But the harder part is deciding what to build and how. We still haven’t seen agents make those product decisions end-to-end. We covered this live: https://jb.gg/sdd-post-blue

Release season again: The 2026.1 versions of JetBrains IDEs are out. We have something for every dev! As usual, the new features also apply to plugins you can install in IntelliJ IDEA and other JetBrains IDEs. Check out all the big highlights in the thread.

If every decision becomes a spec, large projects can end up with thousands of them. How do you manage that volume and ensure an agent reads only the docs relevant to the task? That’s still an open question. We covered it live: https://jb.gg/sdd-post-blue

Agentic AI breaks when it stays inside tools – it needs a system! We tried to map that system, but it couldn’t fit on one screen 😅 Zoom in to see how agents, tools, and delivery systems actually connect – and where JetBrains Central fits in. Full announcement: https://jb.gg/central

Agentic AI speeds up code production, but the challenge is execution and control. JetBrains Central is an open system for agentiс development across the SDLC, with governance, observability, and controlled execution. Early access starts in Q2 2026. Learn more: https://jb.gg/central

AI agents can generate unlimited amounts of code. Most of it is fine, but a few wrong lines can cause major errors or inefficiencies. Can a human reviewer spot them without getting fatigued? We covered this live: https://jb.gg/sdd-post-blue

If you build enterprise Java backends, adding AI agents shouldn’t mean spinning up a separate Python service. Koog for Java, an open-source, enterprise-ready AI agent framework for the JVM, has just been released. Learn more: https://jb.gg/koog-java

When AI agents enter production systems, governance is put to the test. Policies and approval flows that worked in controlled environments often fall short in the real world. Orit Golowinski, Product Lead for Enterprise AI Safety, explains what organizationss can do about this: https://jb.gg/7we1k9
