Under "availability in products", they specifically say that the Free tier is not available on Community Edition. https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/buy/

Good catch. I updated my comment.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

The AI feature is also opt-in, so you have to take steps to enable it. The .noai file is helpful when you have specific projects that need to be excluded from AI tools.

I teach and absolutely must be able to disable AI for my student projects otherwise the students learn very little and are lead down false paths constantly

I guarantee your students are going to learn how to delete the .noai file

Happy I never jumped on the JetBrains bandwagon... 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

You don't _have_ to use the AI stuff, personally I've disabled all of it because my fan was spinning like crazy. Maybe in a year or two I'll try it again.

For now, I pressume. I guess it's a matter of time until the AI features can no longer be disabled.

Don’t know about neovim, but the profiler and debugger in IntelliJ are amazing. Couldn’t live without them.

I used JetBrains AI for about a year, it was pretty good to basically help me to scaffold things, it felt like instructing a Junior developer, which isn't bad, saved me time for side projects. 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…

From the blog post, it seems to say that the free tier of the AI assistant and Junie both allow using local models. I haven't tried it myself, though.

Junie has been amazing for me, completely replaced my payments for Claude Code and Cursor. And it was free (until today). It's the least aggressive agent i've used, no complete re-writes or even close, And is able to achieve about 95% of what I ask of it The only downside - which might be fixed in the newest release - is that it completely forgets context between messages - even in the same message window. But that f…

Is there a way to use Claude within the Jetbrains IDEs? I have a Jetbrains IDE license, and a Claude subscription, but I couldn't find an integration. To use Claude and have it integrated I need to subscribe to Jebtbrains AI instead, but then I don't have Claude in the browser anymore.
