đź§ą Sweep: Cursor Tab for JetBrains IDEs

Meet Sweep, the smartest autocomplete for IntelliJ, PyCharm, and Android Studio

Hi everyone! We’re Kevin and William, and we’re building a better AI autocomplete for JetBrains.

TLDR; Sweep is a free autocomplete plugin for IntelliJ / PyCharm that is smarter than Cursor Tab.

The Problem

Developers writing production-grade code need tools like autocomplete that keep them in the loop rather than agents that take them out of it.

JetBrains users don’t have an AI autocomplete that works well. The leading plugins are not products that users love:

Our Solution: Sweep đź§ą

We’re building tools for professional developers using JetBrains, starting with super fast autocomplete that’s smarter than Cursor Tab.

We’ve fine-tuned our own LLM with a custom inference stack that suggests completions with sub-100ms latency. Unlike Cursor, we use the JetBrains code index to let our autocomplete model navigate your code like a real developer.

We’ve heard great feedback so far:

“AI is finally useful inside JetBrains — thanks to sweep. A million times better than JetBrains’ own tools.” - Christiaan Bilthof, CTO @ Leat

“Compared to every other tool and IDE I've used, it's incredibly fast - so much so that the next tab predictions and autocomplete feel instantaneous.” - Ashkan Aghdai, Staff Engineer @ Amplitude

“I used to have to choose between using PyCharm and good autocomplete - but with Sweep, I get both. It’s a massive productivity boost.” - Josiah Parappally, Staff Engineer @ Ramp

Why we built Sweep

We originally started Sweep in 2023 to build an AI junior developer, which hit 7.6k stars on GitHub.

We soon realized that this was many years out. Instead, we decided to build a coding assistant that developers could use today. Kevin and I have been JetBrains users since we were in college, and we were surprised something like this didn’t exist yet.

We built Sweep for ourselves, and use Sweep Tab hundreds of times a day to write production-grade code instead of vibe coding. It’s boosted our productivity by 2x and we hope you like it too.
