ProxyAI is an AI-powered code assistant for JetBrains IDEs, offering an alternative to tools like GitHub Copilot. It aims to enhance developer productivity by connecting to various AI models, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure, and Mistral, or supporting self-hosted models for offline use.

How It Works

ProxyAI integrates directly into the JetBrains IDE, providing features like AI-suggested code changes with a diff preview and approval, natural language code editing, and context-aware autocompletion. It supports referencing project files, web documentation, and Git history within chat sessions, and can also perform web searches to augment LLM responses.
