Overview
JetBrains AI Assistant is an integrated, in‑IDE artificial intelligence companion that helps developers write, understand, and maintain code directly inside JetBrains IDEs. It provides context‑aware code completion and generation, natural‑language AI chat, explanations of code, automated unit test and documentation generation, and workflow automation while preserving developer control and privacy settings. The Assistant supports local and cloud model modes, configurable model selection (including offline/local models), quota management via AI Credits, and administrative controls for teams and enterprises. It integrates with JetBrains features like inspections, version control, and testing tools to produce suggestions in‑context and helps teams scale AI capabilities with enterprise deployment options and top‑up credit management.
