JetBrains has launched Junie, a new AI coding agent for its IDEs, along with a free tier

JetBrains has officially launched Junie, its new AI coding agent aimed at simplifying development tasks by automating repetitive coding functions, executing tests, and conducting code reviews. Initially introduced in early access in January 2025, Junie supports natural language input, and it can refactor code, debug, generate optimized code, and summarize best practices within the software editor.

Currently available in IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate, PyCharm Professional, WebStorm, and GoLand, Junie is expected to expand to PhpStorm, RustRover, and RubyMine. It complements JetBrains' existing AI Assistant, which has been upgraded with enhanced completions, better context handling, and expanded AI model support, including GPT-4.5, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, and Gemini 2.5 Pro. The AI Assistant now supports smarter workflows for generation, testing, documentation, and debugging.

JetBrains has also introduced a unified subscription model for its AI tools, including a new free tier with version 2025.1 of JetBrains IDEs. This tier offers unlimited code completion and access to local AI models, alongside a credit-based system for Junie’s cloud-based capabilities. Paid tiers, AI Pro and AI Ultimate, provide higher usage quotas, with broader subscriptions like the All Products Pack and dotUltimate now including AI Pro. The rollout coincides with updates to all JetBrains IDEs to version 2025.1.
