    Show HN: Sweep, AI autocomplete for JetBrains that rewrites code

    Hi HN, I've been a JetBrains user for the last couple of years, and felt that JetBrains was missing a strong autocomplete tool. Over the last 6 months, we've fine-tuned our own mod…

    I'm actually building something for JetBrains, it's called https://sweep.dev . We're trying to bring next-edit prediction (like in Cursor) to JetBrains IDEs.

    https://sweep.dev/ is better than Copilot/Windsurf in PyCharm (disclaimer I am one of the founders)

    IDEs are here to stay, I built an AI plugin for IntelliJ for that reason ( https://sweep.dev/ )

    Yes but I think they have worse things to worry about, namely Cursor. Also if you're interested our plugin is https://sweep.dev !

    The IDE isn't going away

    Shameless plug but our co is building a AI plugin for JetBrains that has next edit autocomplete + a strong coding agent (sweep dev)

    VSCode is way worse for large codebases and also much worse for Ruby, Golang, etc.

    Transparently I'm a founder building a plugin that's like "Cursor for JetBrains IDEs", if you're an windsurf user you might like us: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26860-swee…

    not yet - but it's fairly straightforward to implement the UI once you get the AI down. i've been working on an MVP here: https://docs.sweep.dev/autocomplete#next-edit-prediction-i…
