This sounds like one of the companies most disrupted by AI.

I have zero affiliation with the company, but I’m genuinely curious what the team is shipping today for AI-assistance programming. In my bubble, I haven’t seen anyone use it in the last six months.

I use IntelliJ at work on a daily basis, and I assume that holds for a significant chunk of folks, who use Java in a professional capacity.

Does Android Studio count as Jetbrains? It's core to mobile development still.

AI tools are not designed for code reviews for some reason. Maybe everyone is clicking "accept all". I end up reviewing in either Android Studio or even Fork.

It also does code reviews much better than GitHub. Maybe in time, Jetbrains will do a specialized tool for code review that doesn't need to use any AI.

One of the companies most disrupted by AI? Sorry, but that is nonsense. I have been using their products proferssionally for over 20 years, and still do to the same extent as ever. That's while being fully on the Agentic Coding bandwagon. Admittedly their attempts at integrating AI have been an abject failure, but who cares? My setup is Claude or OpenCode on one screen, Jetbrains (IDE mostly), both viewing and working on the same codebase, and that works great for me.

How are they disrupted by AI? Like the times I have used LLMs is the terminal… while I still have the Jetbrains IDE open

It is likely still the best environment to read and debug Java code, which you still need in addition to whatever agentic tooling you have. Advanced editing features have clearly lost value though. Is it still worth the money? I don't pay for it myself so I don't know, but probably for Java at least. But obviously it doesn't make sense to pay for it if you just use it as an occasional text editor.
