JetBrains launches ThinkRail, an agentic IDE that gives each coding agent its own git worktree
JetBrains released ThinkRail, an agentic IDE built around the pi coding agent, and puts each task in its own git worktree cut from the repository, with a separate branch and working directory, so several agents work in parallel without touching the user's checkout. Project intent persists across sessions through a connected graph of SPEC.md files beside the code, which the agent reads, searches and maintains with dedicated tools; workspaces settle onto a per-project shelf when their pull request merges or closes, or after a quiet week. The stated next step is full extension support, so ThinkRail can create the tools it needs from how the user actually works.

ThinkRail gives each coding agent its own git worktree: parallel edits stay out of your checkout, and finished workspaces shelve themselves
ThinkRail wraps a coding agent in a full IDE, and each task gets its own workspace: a git worktree cut from the repository, with its own branch and working directory, so several agent sessions can run at once without touching the developer's checkout. Agents can also be pointed at the project folder itself, or existing worktrees attached. Dormant workspaces settle onto a per-project shelf when their pull request merges or closes, or after a quiet week, and return when you work in them again; sessions carry their own model and a live token and cost readout.

JetBrains ships ThinkRail, an agentic IDE that gives each coding agent its own git worktree and branch
JetBrains has released ThinkRail, an agentic IDE that places coding agents in separate workspaces cut from a git repository, each with its own branch and working directory, so agents can work in parallel without touching the developer's checkout. It wraps the pi coding agent in an editor, terminals and review surface, and lets the agent keep project intent through a graph of SPEC.md files beside the code. Merging the good branch and deleting the rest closes the loop.
