JetBrains AI Assistant
AI assistant built natively into JetBrains IDEs — IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and others. Deep integration with refactoring, inspections, and IDE-specific features no plugin can match.
Why It Matters
Native IDE integration means AI actions work with JetBrains refactoring tools, code inspections, and version control features. The AI doesn't fight the IDE — it extends it.
Limitations
JetBrains-only — no VS Code or other editors · Requires separate subscription on top of IDE license · Agent capabilities still maturing vs Cursor
