Unusable garbage

0

Overall, I think Amazon is on the right track with this assistant - I have tried the Pro version via my employer, but I found it rather sub-par in comparison to other assistants I have used in the past (notably Copilot).

The UI looks distractingly different from the overall Intellij design language - especially the purple tones and overall spacing. I know this is a minor issue compared to the functional issues, but it does impact user experience.

Code predictions have, overall been alright so far - I especially appreciate the agentic capabilities. It seems to slow down significantly when generating answers.

My biggest gripe is performance. After installing the integration, Intellij began inexplicably freezing and slowing down overall, to the point where I had to force-quite it several times a day, sometimes several times an hour. I do not know if these issues were due to conflicts with another plugin, but Intellij started working perfectly smooth and stable again after I disabled Q.

Looking forward to revisiting this in the near future and hopefully giving a better score, right now I unfortunately do not find it usable primarily due to the performance problems.
