Oh thank goodness. It's a remote IDE with AI codeassist.

For a moment I was worried it was a phone user interface library based on AI...

Though actually, I can't wait to try out the first phone interfaces written by an AI that has no idea how many fingers humans have.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Or Project Dragonfly, a censored search engine Google planned to roll out in China until Mountain View gave up on the idea in 2019.

Project IDX was announced in August and initially the AI-enhanced, cloud-based integrated development environment (IDE) was accessible only by invitation.

It's still in public preview, which means those who submit an email to the waitlist at some point should be admitted to test the nascent web-based workspace.

IDX environments are Debian VMs, with full command line access, built using Google's Cloud Workstations service.

Thus, if you're writing, say, a Flutter app using the Dart programming language and you want to preview how it would look on iPhone and Android hardware, you can launch your code in the appropriate simulator or emulator without exiting your workspace.

As for AI code help beyond the US, the IDX team says this has been made available in 15 regions – India, Australia, Israel, Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Chile, Singapore, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Canada, Japan, and South Korea – with more to come.

IDX stands for Indonesia Exchange.
