About JetBrains AI Assistant

JetBrains AI adds AI assistance directly inside JetBrains IDEs. It covers in-editor chat, code completion and refactoring, and agent-driven workflows. It works with models and coding agents from several AI providers, including more than 25 agents that use the Agent Client Protocol (ACP).

You can use AI through JetBrains AI itself or connect your own provider accounts. For teams, JetBrains adds centralized governance, security controls and flexible deployment. It suits developers who already work in a JetBrains IDE and want AI help without switching editors.
