What it is

An open-source assistant for VS Code and JetBrains that can use hosted or local models, with customisable prompts.

Who it is for

Teams who want to standardise how AI is used across an editor.

Why we would pick it

Works across two editors, and the configuration is shareable — which is what makes it a team tool rather than a personal one.

What to watch

Less agentic than the dedicated harnesses. It assists; it does not drive.
