RubyMine 2026.1: AI Chat Upgrades, New Code Insight, Stable Remote Development, and More  | The RubyMine Blog

RubyMine 2026.1 introduces a variety of enhancements aimed at improving Ruby and Rails development, with a focus on integrating AI tools, increasing code insight capabilities, and stabilizing remote development. This release supports multiple AI agents, including Codex and GitHub Copilot, and facilitates database interaction through AI chat, while the experimental code insight engine promises faster and more reliable symbol-based language modeling. Remote development is now stable, allowing seamless connection to development environments via SSH and other methods. The update also includes advancements in Rails support, such as accurate recognition of local variables and deprecated associations, and introduces recognition for PostgreSQL virtual generated columns. RubyMine enhances user experience with improved test debugging and simplified configuration for linting and formatting, while also preparing for the future unbundling of Code With Me as a separate plugin.
