Auto-edit now available as experimental in JetBrains IDEs

JetBrains users can now try auto-edit, now available as an experimental opt-in in the Cody plugin.

Auto-edit analyzes your recent changes and suggests context-aware edits—like cleaning up code, adding missing pieces, or improving structure. Instead of writing every change yourself, you can apply Cody’s suggestions directly in your IDE.

‍

This is a major upgrade for JetBrains users, who previously only had access to autocomplete. Now, Cody doesn’t just help you write new code - it helps you edit and improve code, too.

Once enabled, when you start writing code auto-edit will suggest changes before or after your cursor, both inserting and deleting code.

Auto-edit is available in supported JetBrains IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, and WebStorm, for Cody Pro users and Cody Enterprise Gateway customers. Instructions on how to enable auto-edit can be found in our docs. It’s still experimental, and we’re continuing to improve how Cody understands and suggests edits based on your in-progress work.

Learn more in our original auto-edit announcement and beta update for VS Code.
