In our previous post, we introduced AI-powered machine translation and inline theory definitions to help make learning smoother and more accessible. Today, were excited to share the next big step in bringing intelligent assistance to your programming journey: AI hints.This feature is designed especially for beginners who may get stuck while solving coding tasks unsure how to move forward, fix a failing test, or resolve a compilation error. With AI hints, the JetBrains Academy plugin is here to guide you, one step at a time.To explore the latest improvements, install the JetBrains Academy plugin or update to the latest version from Settings/Preferences | Plugins in your JetBrains ID. INSTALL FREE PLUGIN How AI hints workWhen youre solving a programming task in Python or Kotlin, youll now see a new option to request an AI hint. The hint is delivered in two parts:A text explanation describing what you could do next.A code diff preview showing the suggested change right inside your IDE.This way, you not only get the answer you also learn how to arrive at it.An example of an AI-generated next step hint in a Kotlin taskWhat can AI hints help with?The current version of AI hints supports:Suggestions for the next logical step if youre stuck solving a task.Fixes for compilation errors.Hints to help pass failing tests.These hints combine static code analysis from your IDE with the power of large language models (LLMs), bringing together the best of both worlds deep context awareness and intelligent language understanding.A note on accuracyAI-generated hints are still evolving. They may occasionally be incomplete or inaccurate, especially in more complex scenarios. But weve built in an easy way to help us improve: just use the Feedback button after seeing a hint. Your input directly contributes to making the system smarter and more helpful over time.Where to find itAI hints are currently available for programming tasks in Python and Kotlin in all IDE-based Marketplaces courses.To try out AI hints:Open a Python or Kotlin course.Start solving a programming task.If youre stuck, click the Get Hint button.See what to do next and how to do it.We hope AI hints make learning to code feel more approachable and less frustrating.Have any feedback or questions?

During the Closing Panel at KotlinConf 2025, we received many questions about Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), but unfortunately didnt have time to address them all live. So weve decided to answer the most popular ones in a follow-up blog post.Will IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio support full Swift navigation, completion, etc., for iOS code, or is that not feasible because of Apple restrictions?The KMP plugin for IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio already supports Swift and cross-language Kotlin/Swift features such as navigation, and we plan to add more! Check out this blog post to learn more.Whats the Kotlin teams plan to improve the native compilation speed (desktop targets) for multiplatform projects? Waiting 10 minutes to compile a small CLI app is not acceptable for many teams.We are currently looking into native build performance. First, please check our recommendations on improving native compilation speed. If they dont help, we would highly appreciate it if you could file a bug report and provide more details about the project. It would give us valuable insights on how to address the performance issues.How do you see KMP evolving over the next year?We are driving Kotlin Multiplatform towards a complete and mature solution! We have big plans for Compose Multiplatform and are working on the Beta of Compose Multiplatform for web. In addition to UI sharing, well be improving business logic sharing scenarios, focusing on Kotlin/JS with @JsExport and Kotlin/Native Swift export. Check out our plans for the web platform in general. As we have just released the first version of the KMP plugin for IntelliJ IDEA and Android Studio, we plan to work on its stability and bring more productivity features, which you can find details about in this blog post.Check out the KMP roadmap to learn more.Can you please elaborate on the work being done to improve web support for Compose/KMP?We are working on the Beta of Compose Multiplatform for web. We have already provided more APIs to ensure parity with other platforms, such as clipboard and dragndrop, collaborated with browser vendors to improve the performance of web apps, and improved the pointer and text input behavior.For the Beta of Compose Multiplatform for web, we plan to add interop with HTML elements, compatibility mode for older browsers with automatic fallback to JS, a prototype for accessibility support, and multiple improvements to key UI components.Are there any plans to support accessibility and SEO in Compose Multiplatform for Web, when everything renders to pixels in a canvas?We plan to implement basic accessibility support by mapping Compose semantics nodes to DOM elements later this year. Having the backing DOM hierarchy on a page would allow for some SEO support too. SEO can be further improved by pre-rendering the content as DOM on the server side, but we havent investigated this yet.Why does Compose Multiplatform have scrollbars, while Android Jetpack Compose does not?Scrollbars were first implemented for the desktop target, but we are exploring how to bring them to other platforms.Are we getting Navigation 3 for KMP?Navigation 3 has been built with Kotlin Multiplatform in mind. So, the answer is yes, there will be multiplatform support for Navigation 3. However, we dont know when, as it depends on other ongoing work. Please follow the corresponding YouTrack ticket for further updates.
