The have also the Junie [0] alongside their "AI Chat" within the Jebrains IDEs.

I love JB, IntelliJ IDEA is just great, but I am using it less and less with agents now. I see JB Toolbox has "Junie CLI" available for me. Have you tried both that and ThinkRail or Air? Which would you recommend for someone who is currently mostly working on the Claude App (which also manages worktrees seamlessly, which looks like what ThinkRail does)?

Junie is integrated in the AI Assistant. It's just one of several agents you can use with it (alongside Codex and various ACP plugins). One option on a dropdown menu.

To this day i don't understand the difference between Junie and AI chat. Anyway, I use PyCharm on a fallback license as a read-only tool nowadays, sad but true.

		Junie is an agent. The AI Assistant is the UI for agents (typically in a sidebar). You can switch to other agents if you want (such as Codex or Claude Code), and there are actually a ton that you can add with just a few mouse clicks. Example: https://gist.github.com/rbehrends/4d9febe5c5c008961b309dd4a6... The "Install From ACP Registry ..." allow you to use pi, OpenCode, Kilo Code, Cline, Cursor, Copilot (and a ton of other agents that I've never heard of) if you want.
