WebStorm 2026.2 is out!
Large TypeScript codebase? This release has your back.
TS 7 ships out of the box, no migration needed. We tested it on Kibana, and project load time went from ~12s to ~3s.
What’s more, GitHub Copilot is now natively integrated (no plugin setup required), and the new agent skills manager lets your AI agents carry knowledge of your stack across every project and session.
Check out the new version to discover all the updates: jb.gg/vz7c4w

If you open WSL projects in WebStorm, just open them directly — that's Native mode, and it's the one we'd recommend as your default 🎯
Here's why we're confident in saying that: jb.gg/wsl-native-mode

Your code is in WebStorm – now your telemetry can be too. 🔥

The dependency upgrade nobody wants to own. Junie Local runs on your machine, unmetered, so it can grind through it while you do something else. /local
Junie can now run entirely on your machine, and it’s completely free to use.
One command: /local. We picked and optimized the whole stack around the model: agent harness, model parameters, and inference engine. No tokens, no quota, no code ever leaving your machine.

WebStorm, a JetBrains IDE retweeted
Hey you there, passerby!
We're building the @WebStormIDE AI.JS Day agenda differently this time. No topic list. No speakers first.
Most "#AI in frontend" events are just product demos with a panel bolted on.
this bores me
so we're flipping it.
What's the one question about AI + frontend you can't stop thinking about? The one you'd actually show up to hear debated.
A few that are rattling around over here:
-will frontend dev still be a job in 5 years?
-what skills actually matter for developers now?
-does context matter more than the model?
Drop yours below. The best ones become sessions. Free, virtual, November 13. 👇👇
so, we are @WebStormIDE creating an "AI JS Day" event (similar to the longstanding JS day we do annually) and Id LOVE to get some speakers.
and guess what the date is.....
FRIDAY NOVEMBER 13th (I HAD TO)

Already paying for Claude, Codex, or Cursor? Bring your subscription to WebStorm.
If you're already paying for #claude , #Codex, or #cursor, there's nothing stopping you from bringing your agents to @WebStormIDE . The IDE can use any of your existing subscriptions via ACP – no JetBrains AI credits required! Check out this video to see how to set it up and thanks to @juandadotdev for the question!

Bring your own agent to WebStorm. GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, or any ACP-compliant agent – connect them directly, with no JetBrains AI subscription required. ACP handles the protocol. You pick the agent.

Did you ever dream that your AI agent would be able to check its own work in the browser? Well, dreams do come true.
Chrome DevTools Connect for WebStorm lets agents see and interact with the browser directly. It ships as a bundled Chrome DevTools CLI skill inside WebStorm, with a one-time setup on first use and automatic startup thereafter.
Built with @ChromeDevTools team: jetbrains.blog/x0z3mv
#NewInWebStorm
Meet Chrome DevTools Connect for WebStorm → goo.gle/4i2wPuL
Now your AI agent can open Chrome, inspect rendering, read console logs, and verify runtime fixes without you leaving the WebStorm IDE.

How do you evolve a language used by millions of developers without breaking the web? That's TC39's job – the committee that designs and evolves JavaScript.
We sat down with TC39 committee members during their 114th meeting, hosted at JetBrains' office in Amsterdam, to talk proposals, breaking changes, and what it takes to write a spec that has to work everywhere.
This is just a teaser – full interviews coming soon.
