What Firebender is
Firebender is an Android-native coding agent and assistant for JetBrains IDEs. It provides code completion, chat, codebase indexing, terminal access, and an agent that writes features, tests them in the emulator, and fixes issues automatically. Supported environments include Android Studio, IntelliJ IDEA, AppCode, CLion, DataGrip, GoLand, PhpStorm, PyCharm, Rider, RubyMine, RustRover, WebStorm, and other JetBrains products. Documentation lists support for all coding languages, including Kotlin, TypeScript or JavaScript, Python, Go, Java, and Swift. Users can rewrite selected code inline, generate Jetpack Compose from Figma links, and create custom agents with agent.md files and autonomous sub-agents. Firebender uses Android Studio refactoring tools, the debugger, and logcat, and documents MCP integrations including Supabase, Linear, and Sentry. The plugin product ends October 31, 2026.
