**APIs profiled:** 0

Sweep is a San Francisco-based, Y Combinator-backed company (originally launched as "Sweep — AI-powered junior developer") that has pivoted from being a GitHub App which turned issues into pull requests into an AI coding assistant delivered primarily as a JetBrains IDE plugin, with autocomplete-only support for VS Code and Zed. The current Sweep product pairs a proprietary "Tab model" next-edit autocomplete with an in-IDE Agent for chat, inline editing, AI commit messages, and AI code review across IntelliJ IDEA, PyCharm, WebStorm, GoLand, PhpStorm, Rider, Android Studio, RustRover, RubyMine, CLion, and Aqua. The plugin indexes the local codebase for context, supports Remote MCP Servers with OAuth, web search and fetch tools, and ships under a commercial credit-based pricing model (Free Trial, Basic $10/mo, Pro $20/mo, Ultra $60/mo) with enterprise SOC 2 and zero-data-retention options via contact sales. Sweep has no public developer REST API, no SDK, and no documented webhooks; the company's primary distribution surfaces are the JetBrains Marketplace, the VS Code Marketplace, and the Zed extension registry, and its open-source footprint on GitHub has narrowed to research forks (SWE-bench, SGLang), tokenizer/diff utilities (bpe-qwen, difflib-rs), and the now-legacy sweepai/sweep repository that documented the original GitHub PR agent. Sweep is profiled here as an AI developer-experience vendor rather than as an API provider.
