Beyond Auto-Complete: Junie - Your Autonomous Coding Partner in JetBrains IDEs

Explore a hands-on demonstration of JetBrains Junie, an autonomous coding partner that goes beyond traditional AI assistants. This 19-minute video by Dan Vega showcases how Junie works alongside developers in JetBrains IDEs to handle complex multi-step tasks independently. Learn how Junie helps navigate existing codebases, build complete CRUD REST APIs from scratch, and follow customized coding standards. The demonstration covers practical workflows from understanding projects to creating full applications with minimal prompting, highlighting the key differences between Junie and conventional coding assistants. Currently available for IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Pro, WebStorm, and GoLand (with more IDEs coming soon), Junie now offers a free tier for broader accessibility. The video includes chapters on introduction, resources, exploring codebases, building REST APIs, customization options, and concludes with practical recommendations for maximizing productivity with this AI coding tool.
