Sweep

Sweep is an AI-powered coding assistant and agent designed specifically to operate within JetBrains integrated development environments. It takes the form of a plugin that integrates directly into the developer workflow to provide intelligent code generation and completion. The platform is built to solve the workflow friction developers often experience when trying to use advanced artificial intelligence tooling inside JetBrains environments without leaving their preferred IDE.

• Context-aware code autocomplete and custom tab suggestions that suggest precise code changes in milliseconds
• An AI agent built for JetBrains that handles advanced completions, chat, and code generation
• Project indexing that indexes the entire codebase for context-aware suggestions
• Code search capabilities to resolve definitions across files and services
• Automated code review to review diffs between branches
• Web search and fetch tools to browse the web directly from the assistant
• Privacy Mode to ensure code is never stored or used for model training
• Remote MCP servers with full OAuth 2.0 and 2.1 support

Pros

• Native integration across all JetBrains IDEs removes the need to alt-tab to separate external applications
• Provides proprietary LLMs configured for zero data retention and enterprise security with SOC 2 compliance
• Includes a Privacy Mode option to prevent code from being used for model training
• Supports special discount programs for students, educators, and open source maintainers

Cons

• Paid plans consume API credits based on usage for features like chat, code generation, and advanced completions
• Requires using JetBrains IDEs since the plugin is built specifically for that ecosystem
• Exact credit consumption rates per feature require monitoring via the account balance tab

Sweep is a strong fit for professional developers, tech leads, and software engineers who rely primarily on JetBrains IDEs like PyCharm, IntelliJ IDEA, or GoLand and want advanced AI coding assistance without switching editors. It is poorly suited for developers who work primarily outside of the JetBrains ecosystem or those who do not use JetBrains products as their main workspace.

Sweep offers a Free Trial plan that includes 1,000 autocompletes and $5 in API credits with support for all JetBrains IDEs. The paid tier structure includes Basic at $10 per month offering unlimited autocomplete, Pro at $20 per month for power users needing more API credits and priority support, and Ultra at $60 per month for developers wanting maximum productivity and the highest credit allocation. API credits are consumed based on usage for features like chat and code generation, and automatic top-ups are available. Discounts are offered for students, educators, and open source maintainers upon verification.

Unlike generic AI coding assistants that often require developers to use separate standalone applications or editors like Cursor, Sweep is built natively for JetBrains. Rather than forcing developers to switch tools or manually copy code between environments, it integrates straight into the JetBrains marketplace ecosystem while utilizing proprietary LLMs aimed at strict enterprise security and zero data retention.
