    Hi everyone! I'm the developer behind You, Me & Myself (YMM). YMM started as a simple tool I built for myself. I just needed a way to interact with AI without leaving my IDE. Once I had that working, I quickly realised how much more I needed — conversation history, continuity, organisation, and better context management. What began as a personal convenience gradually grew into a full-featured plugin. The idea is simple: AI should assist you, not take over your development process. You remain in control, making the decisions and growing as a developer along the way. Any feedback is welcome, positive or negative. If you have something to say about YMM, let me know!

You, Me & Myself (YMM) is the structured layer between your IDE and the AI model you choose. The IDE provides the data, the AI provides the intelligence, and YMM organises the context to help them work together effectively. ### Structured, Context-Aware Assistance YMM provides AI models with structured context drawn directly from your development environment, helping them better understand your code and its relationships to deliver more accurate, useful responses. ### AI-Agnostic by Design YMM isn't tied to a single AI provider or model. Choose the AI that works best for you, switch between models, and build your own workflow without being locked into one ecosystem. ### Personalisation That Goes Beyond a Single Prompt Create individual AI profiles for different providers and models, alongside your own personal profile. Tailor how each AI interacts with you, adapting its behaviour to your preferences and development style. ### Your Conversations, Organised Your Way Your AI conversations are more than just chat history — they're knowledge you've invested time and money in building. YMM's conversation library lets you organise and revisit discussions across your projects, using tags, collections, notes, stars and ribbons to highlight important pieces of information. Structure your accumulated knowledge in whatever way makes sense to you, so you can find and reuse it whenever you need it. ### Cost Transparency and Control Know what you're spending and stay in control. YMM gives you visibility into your AI usage costs, with model pricing, currency conversion and configurable spending limits. Make informed decisions about which models to use and how much you're willing to spend. ### Built to Help Developers Grow, Not Replace Them YMM isn't about handing your code over to an AI and hoping for the best. It's about giving developers an intelligent assistant that helps them understand, reason through and solve problems while keeping them firmly in control. The assistant is guided to provide clear, focused answers grounded in modern, idiomatic practices — favouring simplicity over unnecessary complexity, and guidance over taking control of the development process. The goal isn't simply to write code faster. It's to help you become a better developer along the way. **You stay the one doing the thinking. The AI does the heavy lifting; you keep the wheel.** ### Availability & Pricing YMM is currently available for JetBrains IDEs, with support for other development environments being considered for the future. **Free for students and educators.** For everyone else, YMM costs just $10/month, with no long-term commitment. Cancel anytime — no annual contracts or minimum subscription periods. Not sure yet? Take advantage of the free trial and explore what YMM can do before committing.

You, Me & Myself (YMM) FAQ

Do I need to pay for YMM itself?+

YMM is free for students and educators. For everyone else, it costs $10 per month, with no long-term commitment. You can cancel anytime, and a free trial is available. AI provider costs are separate and depend on the models you choose to use.

Can I use a local model instead of a cloud service?+

Yes. YMM supports locally hosted AI models through services such as Ollama and LM Studio, allowing you to work without relying on a cloud AI provider.

How does YMM keep my conversation data private?+

YMM stores your conversations, summaries and library data locally on your machine, giving you control over how they're managed and retained. When using cloud AI providers, the information you send is processed according to each provider's privacy policies. With local models, you can keep those interactions on your own machine.

What happens if a model exceeds my spending limit?+

When a model reaches its configured spending limit, YMM marks its profile as capped and prevents further requests through that profile until the limit is reset or adjusted.

Is YMM compatible with the latest IntelliJ releases?+

YMM is actively maintained and updated to support new JetBrains IDE releases. Version 1.5.0 includes compatibility with IntelliJ IDEA 2026.2.

Can I customize the amount of context sent to the model?+

### Can I customise the context sent to the model? Yes. YMM lets you enable or disable automatic context gathering, and provides a Force option when you want to explicitly include context in your request. The idea is to give developers control over whether context is included, rather than automatically adding it to every interaction without asking.
