IDE and developer-tools platform with expanding AI capabilities
JetBrains operates a portfolio of integrated development environments (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider) and adjacent developer tools, built on Kotlin, Java, and .NET across cloud and on-prem deployments. The company is actively scaling AI—adopting PyCharm and WebStorm while launching dedicated AI agents projects and evaluation infrastructure—and simultaneously wrestling with governance and license-compliance risk at scale, suggesting a shift toward permissioning and audit-heavy internal tooling alongside product-side AI integration.
