JetBrains AI Assistant

AI chat, agents and completion inside JetBrains IDEs

JetBrains AI Assistant is a set of AI features and coding agents from JetBrains that work inside its IDEs, helping developers ask questions about a project, generate code and handle multi-step tasks. AI Chat answers questions about the open project, coding agents work across several files, and the editor offers code generation, completions and next-edit suggestions. It can also explain code, help with refactoring and issue detection, and write documentation, unit tests, commit messages and pull request summaries. The documentation lists support for CLion, DataGrip, DataSpell, GoLand, IntelliJ IDEA, PhpStorm, PyCharm, Rider, RubyMine, RustRover and WebStorm. It can be activated with a JetBrains AI subscription, your own API keys, a provider account, or external coding agents.
