Is JetBrains Grazie Writing Companion safe?
JetBrains Grazie Writing Companion sends text typed into web page fields to JetBrains' AI backend for grammar and completion suggestions.
The extension attaches to text areas and editable regions on nearly every website you visit and forwards the text you type there to JetBrains' cloud Grazie/AI service, which returns grammar corrections and writing suggestions. It skips fields where spellcheck is explicitly disabled and does not target password or login inputs, but any other typed content on a page can be sent for processing.

Where it sends data
Destinations our analysis observed JetBrains Grazie Writing Companion contacting. Sending data somewhere is not a finding on its own - an extension that syncs your settings has to talk to its own server - but it is where your data can go, and who else it goes to.
