Codebuddy — multi-file AI coding, natively in your JetBrains IDE

Describe what you want in plain language and Codebuddy writes it across your codebase — creating new files and editing existing ones in a single pass, then handing you a unified diff to approve before anything lands. No copying, no pasting, no leaving your IDE.

AI written code changes

• Automatically apply changes across multiple files, or create new files, from a single prompt! Effortlessly create new files or modify existing ones with AI-generated code changes. • Review code changes through a familiar unified diff patch view.

Full stack code changes

• Request the AI to implement extensive features that span the entire codebase, from the user interface to backend databases, and do so in a single prompt. • Versatile Code Generation: The AI is capable of creating unit tests, UI components, backend services and controllers, scripts, or really any coding task, with your direction.

Codebase understanding

• The AI understands your codebase, generating a vector database out of your code and using it to select files relevant to your prompt for you. Now you don't need to be familiar with your codebase to make changes to it. • Ask Codebuddy questions about your codebase, and it will provide you with relevant responses. How is authentication done? What are the dependencies of this project? Codebuddy has the answers.

Conversational and voice-based coding

• Speak your code changes to the AI and watch it turn them into code. Built-in two-way voice — talk to it, and it talks back, with no setup and no extra extensions. The AI summarizes the changes it wants to make back to you with text-to-speech, so you can keep your eyes on the diff. Pick from a range of voices, including ElevenLabs. • Engage in meaningful back-and-forth conversations with the AI to discuss and refine the changes you envision.

Include website contents for reference

• Include website contents in your prompt to provide the AI with additional context for your code changes. The AI will use this information to generate more accurate and relevant code changes.

Effortless filesystem integration

• Provide your filesystem structure within your prompt, allowing the AI to intuitively understand and replicate the appropriate directory structure for new files.

Frontier models, without juggling subscriptions

• Pick the model per request — Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, the GPT 5.6 family, Gemini 3.5 and more, all from one plugin. • Stay in your IDE instead of round-tripping code through a browser chat window. • Bring your own keys: an OpenAI key covers the GPT models, add an OpenRouter key to cover Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, GLM and Kimi, and add an Anthropic key to cover Claude. Anything your keys don't cover is simply billed in credits.

Built for JetBrains, not ported to it

Codebuddy is a native plugin, not an out-of-process agent bolted on through a bridge. It runs in IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, Rider, PhpStorm, CLion, RubyMine and the rest of the family.
