JetBrains AI

Key facts: JetBrains AI brings AI assistance into JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm: chat with your codebase, AI code completion, and Junie, a coding agent that can plan and carry out multi-step tasks with your approval. It is built for developers who already live in JetBrains tools.

Plans: JetBrains AI has a free tier with limited AI features, and paid Pro and Enterprise plans that unlock full completion, chat and agent usage. Check the JetBrains pricing page for current allowances.

Best for: JetBrains users who want AI help without leaving their IDE. Watch out: agent tasks still need review and tests, and the free tier’s limits will bite on heavy daily use.

Pros

• Chat with your codebase, AI code completion and Junie, a coding agent that plans and carries out multi-step tasks with your approval.
• Works inside JetBrains IDEs such as IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm, so there is no need to switch editors.
• Agent tasks are approval-gated, keeping the developer in control of multi-step changes.
• Built for developers who already live in JetBrains tools, so it fits existing workflows.

Watch out for

• Agent tasks still need review and tests; generated changes should not be merged unchecked.
• The free tier's limits will bite on heavy daily use.
• It only makes sense if you already work in a JetBrains IDE.
