Overview

An IntelliJ platform plugin that wraps AI coding CLIs in a chat panel inside the IDE. It supports Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, plus several beta CLIs (Grok, Kimi, OpenCode, PI, OMP, DeepSeek Harness). Features include @file references, image input, conversation rewind, diff view, MCP servers, slash-command skills, permission controls and session history.

Who it is for: JetBrains users who want Claude Code or Codex inside the IDE

Strengths

Single chat UI over Claude Code, Codex and six beta CLIs
Session history with search, favorites, export and usage statistics
Permission management, diff comparison and MCP server support
Provider management compatible with cc-switch

Weaknesses

JetBrains IDEs only; no VS Code or standalone version
Most non-Claude, non-Codex engines are marked Beta
macOS scrolling lag may need a JCEF GPU-disable VM option
Requires the underlying CLIs and accounts; README does not document setup

What it needs

no GPU
Docker
Needs IntelliJ IDEA / JetBrains IDE, Claude Code or other supported AI coding CLI, Node.js (ai-bridge, webview build)
Models: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Grok CLI, Kimi CLI, OpenCode
