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
