Xcode 27.2 AI Conversation Window / Coding Assistant - poor UX
It seems it's not possible anymore to view the output of the thinking process of an LLM. In Xcode 27 we were able to enlarge the output of each thinking phase, even though the UX wasn't actually great for doing this. Now, in Xcode 27.2 this is almost completely gone. There's only one line that seems to print the last line of the output. Do I miss something? Observing this content while the LLM is thinking is important, in order to be able to steer the LLM, or help it to find things, stop digressing into irrelevant topics, etc. While this was also not great, since enqueuing a message while the LLM is thinking has been queued – but the thinking phase has never been interrupted. So, enqueuing a message in order to steer the LLM was almost futile anyway. Nonetheless, I would expect newer Xcode versions to improve the user experience. I am unsure why this choice was made and included in a release. In my view, the AI chat and conversation behavior need improvement in several ways, though that is material for a few more posts.
