JetBrains Junie
What it is
JetBrains Junie is a coding agent that works in supported JetBrains IDEs, a terminal, or headless in CI/CD scripts. It supports models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and xAI, and its CLI can use provider API keys directly. Advanced Plan Mode can organize requirements, design, and delivery stages before edits; users can revise and commit plans in .junie/plans. Users can review and approve key actions, and the CLI requests approval for sensitive actions unless brave mode is enabled or an action is allowed. Remote Control enables asynchronous CLI runs monitored in a web app. Junie also supports persistent project guidelines, Agent Skills packages, and slash commands shared between CLI and IDE through ACP. The CLI can run tasks from GitHub issues and pull requests through GitHub Action, and from GitLab issues or merge requests through GitLab CI/CD. A free-to-start plan includes five AI credits, with billed AI usage separate. Paid plans start at $8.33 a month per user; a 30-day trial is listed.
