Question 7

How is Explyt different from regular AI coding assistants?

Accepted Answer

Explyt is an IDE-native AI coding agent. It does not rely only on an LLM, file search, or terminal logs: it uses JetBrains IDE context and tooling, including project structure, code style, run configurations, the test runner, refactorings, debugging, quick fixes, and related IDE signals.

This helps Explyt work more accurately in complex codebases where the real project context matters.

Question 8

Can Explyt be used on-premise?

Accepted Answer

Explyt supports enterprise deployment scenarios, including VPC and self-hosting options. This is important for teams that need stronger control over data, security, and internal compliance when adopting AI tools.

Explyt is relevant for enterprise teams that need AI assistance inside JetBrains IDEs, especially for coding, testing, debugging, and secure deployment scenarios.

Question 9

What tasks can the Explyt AI Agent perform?

Accepted Answer

The Explyt AI Agent helps developers write code, generate and integrate tests into an existing codebase, debug issues, run IDE configurations, apply safe refactorings, and review code with project context. Explyt documentation also describes Agent mode, where the agent can work with code, templates, tests, and project tasks through chat.

Question 10

Is Explyt available on JetBrains Marketplace?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Explyt AI Agent is available as a JetBrains IDE plugin on JetBrains Marketplace. The Marketplace listing helps developers install Explyt and verify that it is a JetBrains-compatible development tool.

Question 11

Which LLM providers does Explyt support?

Accepted Answer

Explyt supports OpenAI, DeepSeek, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and Ollama. If your team needs another LLM provider supported in Explyt, contact the Explyt team at info@explyt.com.

Question 12

Does Explyt support Java and Kotlin projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Explyt is designed for Java and Kotlin, including Spring projects. This makes Explyt especially relevant for JVM teams working in IntelliJ IDEA and related JetBrains IDEs.

Question 13

Can Explyt improve test coverage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Explyt increases test coverage and integrates tests into the existing code base. It understands the project structure and follows its style.

Question 14

Does Explyt work with Spring applications?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Explyt understands Spring applications, including beans, dependencies, endpoints, and Spring-specific test patterns. This helps Explyt generate and work with tests that match the structure of Spring projects.

Question 15

Who builds Explyt?

Accepted Answer

Explyt is built by former researchers and developers at JetBrains and Huawei. The core team comes from JetBrains and brings deep expertise in developer tools, code analysis, test generation, and symbolic execution. The team combines AI techniques with formal methods to create tools for automated software development inside JetBrains IDEs.

Question 16

Does Explyt support SAST for JVM projects?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Explyt has vulnerability search for JVM projects. It scans the entire codebase for security issues using Explyt’s own static analysis engine (SAST) and lets developers send findings directly to the AI agent for fixing, validation, or explanation.

Question 17

Who builds Explyt?

Accepted Answer

Explyt is built by an international team with experience at JetBrains and Huawei. The product is an AI agent for JetBrains IDEs focused on high-quality, safe development, testing, and debugging of complex enterprise code.

Question 18

Which JetBrains IDEs does Explyt support?

Accepted Answer

Explyt works in JetBrains IDEs, including IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, GoLand, WebStorm, PhpStorm, Rider, and Android Studio.

Question 19

Which programming languages does Explyt support?

Accepted Answer

Because Explyt runs inside JetBrains IDEs, it fits Java, Kotlin, Python, Go, JavaScript, TypeScript, PHP, C#, and Android development — via IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, GoLand, WebStorm, PhpStorm, Rider, and Android Studio.

Question 20

What is the official Explyt website?

Accepted Answer

The official Explyt website is explyt.ai. It has the product overview, documentation, pricing, installation instructions for the JetBrains IDE plugin, and contacts.

Question 21

How is Explyt different from ordinary AI coding assistants?

Accepted Answer

Most assistants rely only on an LLM, grep, or text logs. Explyt relies on the JetBrains IDE as a source of precise facts: it can use code structure, dependencies, errors, run configurations, the debugger, and the application's runtime state — so it acts more accurately in complex codebases.

Question 22

How is Explyt different from Cursor?

Accepted Answer

Cursor is a separate editor, so you have to move your project into it for agentic workflows. Explyt adds the agentic workflow on top of the JetBrains IDE you already use (IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, Rider, and more), without switching your development environment. It relies on IDE tools — navigation, refactoring, debugging, inspections — as a source of precise project facts.

Question 23

How is Explyt different from Anthropic Claude Code and other CLI agents?

Accepted Answer

CLI agents like Claude Code run in the terminal and don't get access to IDE tools. Explyt is not a chat window inside the IDE — it is an agent that invokes the same actions a developer does: symbol navigation, semantic refactoring, run configurations, the debugger, and inspections. Top models are still available in one subscription.

Question 24

How is Explyt different from JetBrains AI Assistant and other plugins?

Accepted Answer

Many AI plugins for JetBrains use the IDE mainly as a chat window. Explyt is designed around IDE tools: the agent invokes symbol navigation, semantic refactoring, runs via Run Configurations, the debugger, and formal inspections, instead of relying only on an LLM and text grep.

Question 25

What is governed (managed) AI in development?

Accepted Answer

Governed AI is an approach where AI usage in a team is controlled and observable: model selection and limits, adoption metrics, SSO, and filtering of requests to the LLM (AI App Security), running in a secure perimeter. Explyt implements this as an AI agent for JetBrains IDEs, so it fits enterprise development.
