What's New Since the First Release?
14 October 2025
Join Jesper Pedersen from KDAB and special guest Jan Marker as they dive into the latest updates for the Qt AI Assistant in Qt Creator since their last recording in April. In this episode, you'll get a hands-on look at the exciting new features and improvements, including:
- Enhanced Context Awareness: The AI Assistant can now analyze multiple files in your project, not just the current one—helping you get better, more relevant code explanations.
- AI Ignore Files: Exclude files from AI analysis using a .aiignore file, similar to .gitignore.
- QML Linter Integration: QML linting tools can now help the AI Assistant provide smarter diagnostics and suggestions, especially for QML development.
- Custom Model Configuration: Connect to custom models, including - OpenAI’s GPT-5 nano, set up API authentication, and tailor prompts to fit your workflow.
- Expanded Model Choices: New options like Gemini 2.5 Pro and European models such as Mistral give you more flexibility and diversity in your AI tools.
- Review Mode: The new review feature allows to use different models for code review and feedback.
- Prompt Customization Tips: Jan shares practical advice on how to fine-tune prompts for better AI responses.
