Junie by JetBrains
Visit Junie by JetBrains →Junie is the AI coding agent from JetBrains. It runs in JetBrains IDEs, a CLI, GitHub Actions and GitLab, and works with any model through bring-your-own-key.
Our take
Last updated 23 October 2026
Junie is JetBrains' AI coding agent. It plans and carries out multi-step coding tasks inside JetBrains IDEs such as Rider, which many Unity and Unreal developers use, and also from a CLI and in GitHub Actions or GitLab. It works with any model through bring-your-own-key. Junie Lite is a free layer. The site lists JetBrains AI Pro at $8.33 per user a month and AI Ultimate, which JetBrains recommends for regular Junie use, at $25.
Best for Game developers who code in Rider or other JetBrains IDEs and want an agent that stays in that workflow.
Pros
- Runs inside JetBrains IDEs, including Rider for Unity and Unreal C# and C++.
- Bring-your-own-key works with any model provider.
- A free Lite tier, with no trial and no card.
Cons
- Heavier agent use needs the $25 AI Ultimate plan or top-ups.
- Best if you already use JetBrains IDEs; VS Code users have other options.
- Agent changes still need review before they reach your game's main branch.
