JetBrains AI Assistant puts AI where developers already spend their time—the IDE. Instead of copying code into a separate chatbot, developers can ask questions with project context, generate and modify code, understand unfamiliar logic, refactor existing work, and delegate larger development tasks to AI agents without leaving the editor. It can also handle the less glamorous parts of software development, from writing tests and documentation to preparing commit messages and resolving Git conflicts. With support for JetBrains’ AI service, third-party providers, local models, and external agents, it gives developers a flexible AI layer built directly into their development environment.
