Overview

JetBrains: Developer IDEs With AI

JetBrains builds the integrated development environments many professional developers work in every day — IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, Rider, and more — along with the Kotlin language. Across those IDEs it offers an AI Assistant for code completion, explanation, and refactoring, and Junie, an agentic coding assistant that can carry out multi-step development tasks inside the editor. The AI is integrated with the deep code understanding JetBrains IDEs are known for, rather than bolted on.

It is built for individual developers and engineering teams that want AI help grounded in a full understanding of their codebase.

Key Features

  • Professional IDEs across major languages (IntelliJ, PyCharm, and more)
  • AI Assistant for completion, explanation, and refactoring
  • Junie agentic coding assistant
  • Deep, project-wide code understanding
  • Refactoring and code-navigation tooling
  • The Kotlin programming language

Ideal Use Case

JetBrains fits professional developers and engineering teams that want a full-featured IDE with AI assistance grounded in their actual codebase. It suits teams standardizing on a consistent, deeply integrated development environment.

How JetBrains differentiates

JetBrains integrates AI assistance and an agentic coding assistant directly into IDEs with deep, project-wide code understanding, rather than offering a generic add-on. It is one of the most widely used professional IDE makers, with free editions alongside paid subscriptions.
