Sweep is an AI-powered coding assistant built exclusively for JetBrains IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, PhpStorm, Rider, CLion, RubyMine, Android Studio, and more. It integrates directly into the developer's existing environment, bringing AI-native autocomplete and an agentic coding workflow without requiring a switch to a different editor.
The plugin ships two core systems: a Tab autocomplete model and an AI Agent. The autocomplete engine delivers precise, context-aware code suggestions in milliseconds by indexing the entire project for relevance. The AI Agent handles multi-step coding tasks autonomously, supporting remote MCP servers with full OAuth 2.0 and 2.1 compatibility, web search and fetch tools, and AI-powered code review across branches.
Sweep operates its own language models rather than routing requests through third-party AI providers, which the company states enables superior price, performance, and security. All paid plans include Privacy Mode, which prevents code from being stored or used for training. The platform is SOC 2 compliant and enterprise-ready.
The plugin holds a 4.9-star rating on the JetBrains Marketplace with over 40,000 installs and is trusted daily by developers at organizations including Ramp, Amplitude, Atlassian, Klook, INDmoney, and MTA.
