Update, Dec 6
: JetBrains AI Assistant is generally available with v.2023.3 or JetBrains IDEs and ReSharper. Read more in the
dedicated post
.
The AI features are powered by the JetBrains AI service. The service transparently connects you, as a product user, to different large language models (LLMs) and enables specific AI-powered features inside many JetBrains products. At launch, the service supports OpenAI and additionally hosts a number of smaller models created by JetBrains. In the future, we plan to extend this to more providers, giving our users access to the best options and models available.
We also plan to support local and on-premises models. For local models, the supported feature set will most likely be limited.
AI features
The current EAP build provides a sample of features that indicates the direction we’re moving in:
AI chat
Use the
AI Assistant
tool window to have a conversation with the LLM, ask questions, or iterate on a task. The IDE will provide some project-specific context, such as the languages and technologies used in your project. Once you’re happy with the result, use the
Insert Snippet at Caret
function to put the AI-generated code into the editor, or just copy it over.
To ask the AI about a specific code fragment, select it in the editor and invoke an action from the
AI Actions
menu (available in the editor context menu or by using the
Alt+Enter
shortcut). The
New chat using selection
action allows you to provide your own prompt or request. You can input additional standard AI assistance prompts by selecting
Explain code
,
Suggest refactoring
, or
Find potential problems
, as appropriate.
To access the AI features, you’ll need to be logged in to the JetBrains AI service with your JetBrains Account. You can log in from the
AI Assistant
tool window or from
Settings | Tools | AI Assistant
.
Please note
that the JetBrains AI service may not be available for everyone immediately. We will first let a certain number of users in, and once the maximum capacity is reached, the remaining users will be added to a waiting list. We’ll be gradually inviting more people to try the product in the coming weeks.
Access to the AI service is currently restricted to the territories where the OpenAI service is available. You can check the full list of territories
here
.
The AI service is free to use during the EAP cycle. We’ll be providing the licensing and pricing model at a later date.
How we handle your code and data
When you use AI features, the IDE needs to send your requests and code to the LLM provider. In addition to the prompts you type, the IDE may send additional details, such as pieces of your code, file types, frameworks used, and any other information that may be necessary for providing context to the LLM.
In addition, EAP builds that include the AI assistant functionality perform opt-in collection of detailed data about the usage of AI features, including the full communication between you and the LLM (both text and code fragments). This data is kept strictly confidential and is used by JetBrains for product improvement purposes only. It is never shared with any external parties, and it will not be used for training any ML models that generate code or text, or revealed in any form to any other users. The option controlling detailed data collection can be found under
Tools | AI Assistant | Data Sharing | Send AI Assistant usage statistics
.

Sharing feedback
At this stage, it’s extremely important for us to hear your feedback about the new features, including success stories, situations where the AI didn’t do what you expected, and suggestions of other scenarios when AI could assist you. Please send us your ideas and suggestions by clicking
Share feedback
in the
AI Assistant
tool window, and report AI Assistant bugs in
