The competition in the AI assistant market is heating up, with JetBrains' AI Assistant set to compete with US-based Microsoft Copilot and Google. Despite recent challenges at OpenAI, Microsoft maintains a strong position in the market, with a tighter grip on the development of OpenAI and its Copilot product. The use of multiple AI providers for code development is seen as a strategic move for the long term.
Key takeaways:
- Microsoft's Copilot is getting OpenAI's latest models and a new code interpreter, indicating a battle for AI influence at the developer and engineering level.
- Prague-based JetBrains has released JetBrains AI Assistant, a Microsoft Copilot alternative, which will be integrated into JetBrains’ development environments and powered by LLMs from OpenAI, Google and JetBrains itself.
- JetBrains AI Assistant will compete with US-based Microsoft Copilot and Google, with Google's Android Studio even powered by JetBrains’s IntelliJ platform.
- Microsoft, due to recent issues with OpenAI, now has a tighter grip on the development of OpenAI and thus the destiny of its Copilot product.
