Sweep
AI autocomplete and coding agent built for JetBrains
Sweep is profiled here as a Coding Assistant tool for engineering teams. Read about features, pricing, and how it compares to related options in the tools directory.
Description
Sweep is an AI coding assistant built specifically for JetBrains IDEs by founders Kevin Lu and William Zeng, who started the company through Y Combinator in 2023. After an early version that turned GitHub issues into pull requests, the team focused Sweep on a fast autocomplete and an in-editor agent for IntelliJ, PyCharm, and other JetBrains tools. Sweep runs its own fine-tuned model and reads the JetBrains code index, so completions account for the surrounding project and arrive with low latency.
Key Capabilities:
Next-edit autocomplete from a custom model tuned for sub-100ms suggestions
Project indexing that grounds completions in the wider codebase
An in-editor agent that plans and applies multi-file changes
Code review and commit-message generation inside the IDE
Coverage across IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, and other JetBrains IDEs
A private inference path that keeps code from being retained by third parties
