If you have a paid JetBrains IDE subscription, you may also be eligible for a free AI Assistant trial. Refer to this article to start a free trial.

1. Check your IDE version

You need version 2023.3 or later to use AI Assistant. For Community Edition IDEs, version 2024.1.1 is required.

If you're using an earlier version, update your IDE.

With a Community Edition IDE, you can only use a JetBrains AI Pro subscription for individuals.

3. If you’re using a commercial IDE license provided by your employer, make sure AI Assistant is enabled in your organization

If you see an AI Assistant is disabled by your company message in the plugin, ask your organization admin to enable it. Here are the instructions for admins on how to enable AI Assistant.

4. Make sure your JetBrains AI Pro subscription is available in your JetBrains Account 

Log in to your JetBrains Account and verify that the JetBrains AI Pro subscription is listed among your available licenses.
