About JetBrains AI Assistant
JetBrains AI Assistant is JetBrains' first-party AI for its IDE family — IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, and the rest.
Its edge is being native: a first-party plugin built into the JetBrains IDEs, with code completion, in-IDE chat, and code explanation.
It's the natural pick for developers already on JetBrains IDEs, offered freemium. The limits are clear: it's tied to JetBrains and not available for editors like VS Code, and the free tier's usage caps push heavier users to a paid tier.
It's the JetBrains-native option where Copilot and Codeium span many editors.

Claude Code can do most of your SEO — build a crawlable static site, write and optimize pages, fix the technical layer, even bottle the whole workflow into a reusable skill. What it can't do is invent authority or pick keywords, and if you let it generate 10,000 pages you'll get de-indexed, not ranked.

Here are eight worth installing.
