JetBrains' autonomous coding agent for IntelliJ-family IDEs (plus a Junie CLI that left beta March 2026 with BYOK/OpenRouter routing and CI/CD support), distinguished by leverage of the IDE's code index, a confirmation-gated loop with opt-in 'Brave Mode', Docker/worktree-isolated parallel tasks, remote cloud execution mode, and a companion Claude Agent built on Anthropic's Agent SDK.
YC-backed autonomous software engineer that picks up tickets from GitHub/Jira/Linear and opens tested PRs end-to-end across CLI, desktop, VS Code and cloud, distinguished by its own in-house Lumen model family (including on-device Scout and air-gapped sovereign variants for regulated industries like HSBC/NatWest/BAE) and the April 2026 'Swarm' feature for parallel long-horizon agents; credit-based seats at $20 (Hobby) and $200 (Professional).
Cloud web-agent from DeepMind-alumni startup H Company ($220M seed) that orchestrates sub-agents over its own Holo vision-language action models (92.2% WebVoyager at ~$0.13/task via open-sourced Surfer-H), with Holo 3 in 2026 targeting any-UI enterprise automation.
