Devoxx Genie is a fully Java-based LLM Code Assistant plugin for IntelliJ IDEA, designed to integrate with local and cloud LLM providers.

On the battlefront of AI coding assistants , IntelliJ and VScode go face to face. As of this April and as described in "JetBrains Updates IDEs With AI Code Completion", JetBrains upgraded its range of IDEs with AI which includes full-line code autocompletion powered by locally run AI models.

Microsoft has not been left behind though. Its most recent addition was the AI Toolkit for Visual Studio Code, which enables you to download, test, fine-tune, and deploy AI models from Azure AI Studio and HuggingFace, locally or on the cloud.

Similarly Devoxx Genie, is designed to integrate with local LLM providers such as Ollama, LMStudio and GPT4All but also cloud based LLM's such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, Groq, Gemini and DeepInfra.

Adding it to IntelliJ you get aided in the reviewing, testing, and explaining of your project code, hence your development workflow is geting enhanced.
