What is it?
DevoxxGenie is a Java-based LLM code assistant plugin for IntelliJ IDEA. It connects to local model servers such as Ollama, LM Studio, GPT4All, Llama.cpp and Exo, as well as cloud providers including OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, Groq, OpenRouter, Azure OpenAI and Amazon Bedrock, so developers can pick between private on-machine inference and hosted models.
Beyond chat, the plugin includes an Agent Mode with built-in file read, write, edit and search tools, parallel sub-agents, and MCP server support. Its Spec Driven Development workflow reads tasks from Backlog.md files, shows them in a Kanban board, and runs them in batch through an Agent Loop. Security scanning runs Gitleaks, OpenGrep and Trivy as agent tools and turns findings into backlog tasks.
Other features include RAG over vectorized project files using ChromaDB, web search through Google or Tavily, inline code completion with FIM models, and a per-prompt token cost calculator for cloud models.
Key features
- 01Connects to both local model servers and cloud LLM providers from one panel.
- 02Agent Mode with file read, write, edit and search tools plus parallel sub-agents.
- 03Spec Driven Development with Backlog.md tasks, a Kanban board and batch Agent Loop execution.
- 04Security scanning with Gitleaks, OpenGrep and Trivy that creates backlog tasks from findings.
- 05RAG over project files, web search, and inline code completion.
Use cases
- Reviewing, explaining, or generating unit tests for selected code without leaving IntelliJ.
- Running Java projects against a local Ollama or LM Studio model to keep code on your machine.
- Letting an agent implement a batch of tasks defined in Backlog.md files.
- Running secret and dependency scans as part of an AI-assisted review.
Quick start
- 1
Install the plugin from the JetBrains Marketplace
- 2
Configure a local or cloud LLM provider in the plugin settings
Things to know
- Works only inside IntelliJ IDEA, not other editors.
- Cloud providers require your own API key, and local models need a separate runtime such as Ollama or LM Studio.
- Security scanning features need Gitleaks, OpenGrep or Trivy installed separately.
