Doc-Powered AI Assistant
Starting with the 2024.3 version of JetBrains IDEs, AI Assistant can not only access the context from your project but also the IDE’s own documentation. Whenever you have a question about how to accomplish a task in a JetBrains IDE, such as WebStorm, IntelliJ IDEA, or PyCharm, AI Assistant is here to help.
How do I use it?
As long as you are using AI Assistant, the feature works out of the box. When you ask an IDE-related question, AI Assistant will automatically perform the search for you. But if you want AI Assistant to restrict its search to documentation specifically, use the /docs command:
If relevant information is found in the documentation, AI Assistant will cite the source and give you a link to the full document.
How is this different from good old search?
Under the hood, the /docs command uses RAG (retrieval-augmented generation), an approach that combines the power of semantic search and language models. But that’s not all: We took traditional RAG one step further, enabling several distinguishing features of AI Assistant.
Action search
When AI Assistant finds an IDE feature that can solve your query, it will display a button that you can click to execute the corresponding action right away. This lets you use the features directly rather than exploring dialogs and menus.
If you know that a certain feature exists, you can ask about it specifically, or you can just describe your scenario and see if the IDE has features to address your request.
IDE settings
The same works for IDE settings. When giving directions on how to access a particular setting, AI Assistant will also give you a clickable link, which will take you directly to the corresponding settings page:
Shortcuts
If the answer mentions a shortcut, the shortcut will use the correct key binding for your keymap.
Can I add context to a documentation-related query?
Yes! Adding project context also works with the /docs command, which allows you to find solutions for problems related to specific pieces of code or configuration files.
Your feedback is very important!
As a host of new features and improvements are steadily making their way towards you, we are excited to learn what you think about the /docs command in the comments. Your experiences and insights are very valuable to us.

文档驱动的 AI Assistant
自 JetBrains IDE 2024.3 版本起，AI Assistant 不仅可以访问您项目中的上下文，还可以访问 IDE 自身技术文档。当您在使用 WebStorm、IntelliJ IDEA 或 PyCharm 时遇到操作难题，AI Assistant 将即刻启动交互式引导，为你提供帮助。
功能引导 – 如何使用该功能？
只要您使用 AI Assistant，该功能便开箱即用。当您提出一个与 IDE 相关的问题时，AI Assistant 将自动进行搜索。但如果您希望 AI Assistant 的搜索限定在官方文档范围，请使用 /docs 命令：
如果在文档中存在关联信息，AI Assistant 会标注引用来源并提供完整文档跳转链接。
技术革新 – 这与传统的搜索有何不同？
在底层，/docs 命令使用了RAG（检索增强生成），这是一种融合了语义搜索和语言模型强大能力的方法。不仅如此：我们还进一步改进了传统的 RAG 方法，使 AI Assistant 具备三大创新功能。
操作搜索（Action search）
当 AI Assistant 识别到 IDE 内置功能可解决当前问题时，它会显示一个按钮，您可以点击该按钮立即执行相应的操作。让您直接使用这些功能，无须遍历对话和菜单。
您也可以具体询问 IDE 的某个特定功能，或者描述您的使用场景，让 AI Assistant 推荐合适的 IDE 功能来满足您的请求。
IDE 设置
对于 IDE 设置也是一样。在指导如何访问特定设置时，AI助手也会提供一个可点击的链接，直接带您到相应的设置页面：
快捷键适配
AI Assistant 生成回复中所有提到的快捷键，均智能匹配当前键位映射方案。
可以为文档相关的查询添加上下文吗？
是的。AI Assistant 也支持在 /docs 指令中叠加项目上下文，针对特定代码段或配置文件进行精准解决方案检索。
