AI Assistant

Install the AI Assistant plugin

This functionality relies on the AI Assistant plugin, which you need to install and enable.

Press Ctrl+Alt+S to open settings and then select Plugins.
Open the Marketplace tab, find the AI Assistant plugin, and click Install (restart the IDE if prompted).

AI Assistant provides AI-powered features for software development. It can explain code, answer questions about code fragments, provide code suggestions, commit messages, and much more.

The AI Assistant plugin is not bundled and is not enabled in DataGrip by default.

AI Assistant will not be active and will not have access to your code unless you install the plugin, acquire a JetBrains AI Service license and give your explicit consent to JetBrains AI Terms of Service and JetBrains AI Acceptable Use Policy while installing the plugin.

JetBrains AI Service licensing

The AI Assistant plugin is powered by the JetBrains AI Service. This service transparently connects you, as a product user, to different large language models (LLMs) and enables specific AI-powered features within many JetBrains products.

You can acquire the AI Assistant license at the JetBrains AI Service website. Before acquiring the license, you can sign up for a limited trial. The AI Assistant license or your free trial will be linked to your JetBrains Account.

For more information about licensing plans and features' availability, refer to the FAQ at the JetBrains AI Service website.

If you need any help regarding your license, you can contact our support team.

How we handle your code and data

When you use AI features, DataGrip needs to send your requests and pieces of your code to the LLM (Large Language Model) provider. Besides the prompts you type, it may send additional details, such as file types, frameworks used, and any other information that may be necessary for providing context to the LLM.

In addition, DataGrip builds with the AI Assistant plugin perform opt-in collection of detailed data about the usage of AI features, including the full communication between you and the LLM (both text and code fragments). This data is kept strictly confidential and is used by JetBrains for product improvement purposes only. It is never shared with any external parties, and it will not be used for training any ML models that generate code or text, or revealed in any form to any other users. The option that controls detailed data collection can be found in the IDE Settings under Tools | AI Assistant | Data Sharing | Allow detailed data collection and is disabled by default.

AI Assistant doesn't share or get access to the data in your database.

For more information about our data collection policies, refer to Data Collection and Use Policy.
