Kickstarting AI Integration for Custom Tools and IDEs: Watch the Recording

Are you eager to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into your custom, domain-specific tools but unsure where to begin? AI has the potential to revolutionize tools and IDEs, turning them into smart, context-aware assistants that profoundly boosting your users’ efficiency. Our latest talk dives deep into the technical aspects of AI integration, showcasing how to move beyond basic chat functionality to create valuable, domain-specific AI assistance.

If you’re ready to unlock the potential of AI-assisted tools for your tool offering, the recording is now available:

Key Takeaways from the Talk

• Effective Prompt Engineering: Learn how to design prompts that guide the AI to understand your tool’s domain-specific concepts and tasks. Discover advanced techniques like multi-stage prompting and agents to improve AI accuracy.

• Context Awareness: See how to provide detailed tool context—such as workspace states, open files, and related documentation—using strategies like Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to enhance AI’s relevance and precision.

• Interactive AI Capabilities: Explore how to make the AI a proactive assistant by enabling it to query and manipulate data, execute commands, or scaffold models directly within your tool.

• Domain-Specific AI: Discover approaches to embedding domain knowledge into AI systems, allowing the AI to suggest meaningful changes, explain concepts, or automate workflows tailored to your tool.

• Incremental AI Integration: Through a practical example using a diagram-editor tool implemented with Eclipse GLSP, see how to incrementally integrate AI into tools, starting from feasibility studies to fine-tuning and optimization.

With the right techniques, AI can go far beyond a text-based chat, transforming into an active partner that understands and enhances your users’ workflows. Whether you’re building a code editor, diagram editor, or modeling environment, this talk provides the foundational steps to kickstart your AI integration journey.
