Sweep AI for JetBrains

Sweep AI for JetBrains is an AI coding assistant built for JetBrains IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA and PyCharm. It works as a copilot inside the editor to help you write and change code faster.

Project-wide code understanding

Sweep analyzes the entire repository, not just the current file. This makes it useful for larger codebases where changes often span multiple files.

• Understands project structure and dependencies
• Applies multi-file edits from a single request
• Runs tests from within the IDE
• Helps surface and track errors during changes

Fast inline suggestions with Tab

A key feature is Sweep’s own Tab model, designed for quick, in-editor completions. Suggestions appear in milliseconds, and you can accept them with Tab.

• Inline code continuations and edits
• Faster routine refactors and repetitive tasks
• Fewer typos and small mistakes through guided changes
