Overview

Sweep is an AI copilot for JetBrains IDEs. It combines inline autocomplete with an AI agent so developers can write and modify code inside their existing JetBrains workflow instead of switching tools.

The homepage positions Sweep as a coding assistant for professional developers who want faster edits, project-aware suggestions, and support across multiple JetBrains IDEs. The pricing page adds that autocomplete is unlimited on paid plans, while other AI features consume API credits.

Features

Intelligent autocomplete

Suggests code changes in milliseconds through Sweep’s custom Tab model, designed for fast inline completion inside JetBrains editors.

AI agent

Provides an AI agent built for JetBrains, positioned as a separate capability alongside autocomplete for higher-level coding assistance.

Project indexing and code search

Indexes the full project so suggestions can use repository context instead of only the open file, which is helpful for larger codebases.

JetBrains-wide plugin support

Supports all JetBrains IDEs through one plugin, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, Android Studio, WebStorm, PhpStorm, Rider, and more.

Privacy controls

Offers Privacy Mode and zero data retention messaging on the homepage and pricing pages, with a stated focus on keeping code from being retained by third parties.

Usage-based account management

Includes API credit usage, automatic top-ups, and a Balance tab for tracking consumption when using features beyond autocomplete.

Use Cases

Fast in-editor completion
Use Sweep while coding in JetBrains to accept inline suggestions quickly when you want to keep moving without leaving the editor.
Code changes with repository context
Use the agent and autocomplete together when you need help making edits across a project rather than only in one file.
JetBrains team standardization
Use the plugin in IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, PhpStorm, Rider, CLion, RubyMine, or other JetBrains IDEs to keep a consistent workflow across different environments.
Privacy-conscious development
Use Privacy Mode when working with code that should not be retained for training, while still receiving AI suggestions inside the IDE.
Managed AI usage for heavier workloads
Use the paid plans and credit controls when your workflow includes chat or code generation in addition to autocomplete and you want to monitor usage.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Works across the JetBrains family through a single plugin.
Combines autocomplete with an AI agent rather than offering only one workflow.
Uses project indexing to make suggestions aware of the broader codebase.
Provides Privacy Mode and states that code is not retained by third parties.
Offers unlimited autocomplete on paid plans, with account controls for credit monitoring and top-ups.

Cons

The source only clearly confirms JetBrains IDE support, so broader editor or platform support is not established here.
Some AI features use API credits, so heavier chat or generation usage depends on the user’s credit allocation and top-up settings.
