Junie, released by JetBrains in 2025, covers different ground than the company's existing AI Assistant, also listed in this directory: where AI Assistant focuses on inline suggestions and chat within the editor, Junie takes on larger, multi-step tasks autonomously, planning an approach, making changes across several files, and running tests to verify its own work.
That autonomous, multi-step design puts Junie closer to agent-first tools like Devin or Cursor's Composer mode than to a traditional inline assistant, while still running inside JetBrains' existing IDE suite rather than a separate editor. It draws on the same underlying static analysis and code intelligence JetBrains has refined for two decades.
A free tier covers limited use, and paid access starts around $10 a month, frequently bundled with existing JetBrains subscriptions. For a JetBrains user who wants an autonomous agent for larger, multi-file tasks specifically, rather than only inline completions and chat, Junie fills that more ambitious role alongside the company's existing AI Assistant.
