Sweep
Cursor-grade AI built natively for JetBrains, with 40,000+ marketplace installs.
What is Sweep?
Sweep is a JetBrains IDE plugin that delivers millisecond-latency tab autocomplete from a custom-trained Tab model alongside an AI agent built on proprietary LLMs. It indexes the entire codebase for context-aware suggestions and supports IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, Android Studio, PhpStorm, and the other JetBrains IDEs. Recent additions include AI code review, web search tools, and OAuth 2.0/2.1 support.
Coding agents and AI developer tools for writing, reviewing, debugging, and shipping software.

Use cases to evaluate
Replacing GitHub Copilot for Kotlin and Java teams on IntelliJ
Getting fast inline completions in Rider during Unity game development
Running AI code review on a branch before opening the PR
Onboarding to an unfamiliar PyCharm codebase using full-repo context
Fit to evaluate
Android teams in Android Studio and JetBrains-heavy Kotlin shops
.NET and Unity developers using Rider
Python data and ML teams on PyCharm
Polyglot enterprise dev orgs (Ramp, Amplitude, Atlassian) already on JetBrains
Business fit
Right for you if your team lives in JetBrains IDEs and resents being treated as a second-class citizen by VS Code-first AI tools like Cursor. The custom Tab autocomplete is genuinely fast, and the included $5 of API credits on the free trial lets you evaluate the agent without paying. Skip if your team is already standardized on Cursor, GitHub Copilot, or Cody and switching costs outweigh the JetBrains polish. Skip if you need a CLI-first or terminal agent rather than an in-IDE assistant.
How to evaluate Sweep
Use this category when software delivery speed, code review, or developer leverage is a business constraint.
Confirm the exact workflow
Map Sweep to one concrete workflow first, such as replacing github copilot for kotlin and java teams on intellij. Avoid buying before the owner, trigger, output, and success metric are clear.
Check category fit
Test with your actual repository and review diff quality.
Compare practical alternatives
Shortlist Sweep against Codex, Claude Code, Cursor so the decision is based on fit, effort, and workflow ownership rather than brand recognition alone.
Validate cost and rollout effort
Free trial includes 1,000 autocompletes plus $5 API credits with Privacy Mode. Basic $10/month adds unlimited autocomplete. Pro $20/month is positioned for power users needing more API credits and priority support. Ultra $60/month offers the largest API credit allocation for heavy agent usage. Also confirm implementation time, support needs, and whether the technical setup matches your team.
