IBM watsonx Code Assistant for Red Hat Ansible Lightspeed

Overall Satisfaction with IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio

We are using IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio as a coding assistant in software development projects.
We use the basic features such as automatic code generation, code documentation, translation etc.
We use it in conjunction with other AI coding assistants such as Claude.

Pros

  • Supports pretty much all major coding languages (Python, C, C++ etc.)
  • The code generated is mostly accurate and not deprecated, as it tends to happen with AI generated code
  • The documentation generation feature works well

Cons

  • IDE integration is not always optimal
  • I wish it could it could generate the code of an entire WEB site based on user specifications
  • I with there was a functionality to generate code based on design documents such as Sequence Diagrams, Database Architecture etc.
  • Speed up the software development process
  • Speed up the learning curve of junior software enginners
  • Improve software quality by identifying bugs early in the development process
The ability to generate reliable code for a wide variety of programming languages.
Speed up the software development process, and alleviate the need for engineer tutoring, which frees up time for senior engineers to tackle other tasks.
The code generation feature in Claude works very well, but is much more bare bone than watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio.
IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio tries to be user friendly by providing chat-based interaction with your code and other nice UI functionalities.

Did IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy IBM watsonx Code Assistant Portfolio again?

Yes

I think the main features work as advertised, so it is a recommendable product overall. However, just like other AI coding assistants, you need an experienced software engineer in your team to verify, edit and integrate the code generated.
This is not something that will replace software engineers, at least in its current form.
