AI Assistant (Beta)
This week’s EAP build brings in a major addition to GoLand – the AI Assistant. It is powered by the JetBrains AI service and incorporates the capabilities of OpenAI along with JetBrains’ own smaller models. GoLand 2023.2 EAP 6 provides the initial set of AI-powered functionalities, including an integrated AI chat, automated documentation generation, name suggestion, and commit message generation.
To access these AI features, you’ll need to be logged into the JetBrains AI service using your JetBrains Account. Availability for the JetBrains AI service may vary initially. For more information on the AI Assistant and instructions on how to access it, refer to this blog post.
User experience
Colored project headers in the new UI
GoLand 2023.2 EAP 6 introduces colored headers to simplify navigation between several open projects. You can now assign a unique color and icon to each of your projects, making it easier to distinguish them in your workspace.
Headers now come with predefined colors by default, but you can customize them. To set a new color for your project, right-click on a header and access the context menu. Select the Change Toolbar Color option and choose your desired color. To disable this feature, simply deselect the Use Project Colors in Toolbar option in the context menu.
Removed title bar on Linux in the new UI
For the convenience of Linux users, the native header of the operating system has been removed in the new UI, resulting in a cleaner interface. By default, you will now see the custom IDE’s header, which offers a range of customization options to tailor your workspace.
That’s it for today! We’d love to hear what you think about the new features. Get in touch with us on Twitter, leave your comments here, open an issue in our tracker, or drop us a message in the Gophers Slack #goland channel. Thanks!
