JetBrains AI Assistant - AI for IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm | AI.info
JetBrains AI Assistant integrates AI into IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and all JetBrains IDEs with deep project context, multi-model support, and AI-enhanced refactoring.
JetBrains AI Assistant adds AI Chat, inline code generation, completion, next-edit suggestions, code explanations, refactoring help, and coding agents to JetBrains IDEs. It can also generate tests, documentation, commit messages, and pull request summaries.
It is used by software developers working in JetBrains IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, and others. Users can access it through a JetBrains AI subscription, their own API keys, provider accounts, or external agents; cloud-model usage under JetBrains plans is quota-based.
