JetBrains AI Assistant
AI coding assistant built natively into JetBrains IDEs for code completion, chat, documentation and test generation.
Overview
JetBrains AI Assistant is a first-party AI layer for IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm and the rest of the JetBrains suite. It provides inline completions, a chat panel that understands the current project, and context-aware actions for generating tests, writing documentation and explaining code. It integrates with the IDE's refactoring tools and code inspections so suggestions fit each language's conventions. The assistant routes requests through JetBrains' AI service, which uses several underlying models.
