Qt Creator AI Assistant

Join Jesper Pedersen and Jan Marker for a hands-on update on the Qt AI Assistant in Qt Creator. Since their previous discussion in October 2025, the assistant has gained new capabilities designed to make AI-supported development more useful, configurable, and better aligned with real-world Qt projects.

Jesper Pedersen and Jan Marker explore the newest AI coding features in Qt Creator:

• support for many third-party coding agents like Claude Code and GitHub Copilot through the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) extension
• how GitHub Copilot understands a QML project directly from within Qt Creator
• Qt Creator controlled by GitHub Copilot through the new Model Context Protocol (MCP) extension
• GitHub Copilot CLI and the MCP extension
• a discussion of the integration of IDEs and coding agents
