At JetBrains, code is our passion. Ever since we started, back in 2000, we have strived to make the strongest, most effective developer tools on earth. By automating routine checks and corrections, our tools speed up production, freeing developers to grow, discover, and create.
One of the projects we’re working on within the JetBrains Innovation Hub is the Live Debugger, a product for safe, AI-first debugging of production systems. It will help engineering teams investigate issues in real environments with a strong focus on safety, reliability, security, low overhead, and practical AI integration. That means it’s a mix of JVM tooling, program analysis, and AI at the core. Check out our demo to get a better sense of how it works.
