You can add a .noai file to the root of your project to disable AI support. https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/disable-ai-assistant.htm... Errr, that 404s now. I hope the functionality still works.

The .noai file is helpful when you have specific projects that need to be excluded from AI tools.
JetBrains are in a great position to do this though, perhaps the best position. Whereas a tool like Claude Code or Aider can give the LLM grep and little else [1], Junie can give the LLM a kind of textual API to the IDE's own static analysis database. If Claude/GPT want to understand what a function is doing and how it's used, it could issue a tool call that brings up nicely rendered API docs and nothing else, it could issue a tool call to navigate into it and read just the function body and so on. And they can use the IDE to check whether the code complies with the language rules more or less instantly without needing to do a full compile to pick up on hallucinated APIs or syntax errors.
So much potential with this kind of integration, all that stuff is barely the start.
[1] Aider attempts to build a "repo map" using a PageRank over symbols extracted by tree-sitter, but it never worked well for me.

It's pretty surprising that they're willing to charge a flat rate rather than by token, but great news for users. It's inevitable that you get annoyed at AI when it consumes tokens and generates a bad answer, or starts reading files that aren't fully relevant. The flat rate takes away that bad taste. The business modelling behind it must be quite intense, I hope this doesn't blow up in JetBrains' face if Junie's usag…
I was curious about Z̶i̶g̶ Zed, until they too started adding AI garbage. Sad.
Luckily, I can be fairly confident that my trusty neovim will never add AI garbage unless I specifically go out of my way to install plug-ins.
EDIT: Zed, not Zig

Anyway I think that for the average developer (i.e. not enterprise customers) this is easier to reason about, so I am fine with that.

Some observations from the pricingpage:
https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/buy/?section=personal&bill...
* They say free for all IDEs except the community version of PyCharm and IntelliJ.
* Looks like if you want to use your own LLM you need to be an enterprise user? None of the lower tiers allow for it, I find this really, really dumb, if I'm paying for compute, why can't I also run my own LLM? Am I misunderstanding this?
* ReSharper and Android Studio don't fall under the credit system? I really would like to know what that means.
I'd like to know more about what is powering Junie under the hood. > According to SWEBench Verified, a curated benchmark of 500 developer tasks, Junie can solve 53.6% of tasks on a single run That's nice I guess, but why isn't this an entry on the actual https://www.swebench.com/#verified website? (Also: 53% isn't that impressive these days, Claude Sonnet can reach 63%)
This quote claims it is 'powered by Claude' “JetBrains and Anthropic share a commitment to transforming how developers work. Developers rely on Claude’s state-of-the-art performance in solving complex, real-world coding tasks. We’re excited to see how Junie, powered by Claude, will help the global developer community create innovative things within the trusted JetBrains IDEs that customers love.” Mike Krieger, Chief…
