ThinkRail
Open-source (Apache-2.0) agentic IDE from JetBrains InnovationHub, built around the pi coding agent. Each task gets its own git-worktree workspace so several agents can work in parallel without touching your checkout, and a graph of SPEC.md files keeps project intent between sessions. It has Monaco editor tabs, terminals, live diffs, MCP servers, Agent Skills and a one-click GitHub PR flow. Desktop app or CLI that opens in the browser; bring your own model via JetBrains AI or any pi provider.

Niches
Best for
Code faster with an AI-powered editor
▸ An IDE designed around the agent rather than bolted on: parallel worktree workspaces, live diffs, and specs the agent actually maintains.
Use a coding agent from the terminal
▸ Like the pi terminal agent but with a real workbench around it: several sessions per workspace, live cost, and a PR button.
