Just as integration catalogs were must-haves at the peak of SaaS, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers are now becoming all the rage for connecting AI agents and enterprise systems. In this paradigm, developers aren’t hand-coding API calls to external systems, nor are users clicking “click to integrate” and entering credentials into GUIs. Instead, agentic systems are…
Seeking to help developers control growing fleets of AI coding agents, JetBrains is introducing JetBrains Central, an agentic development platform for teams to manage and maintain visibility over these agents. An early access program for JetBrains Central is set to begin in the second quarter of 2026 with a limited number of design partners participating….
Google has added a plan mode to Gemini CLI, its open-source software engineering agent that runs on the command line. With plan mode, announced March 11, Gemini CLI focuses first on analyzing a request, planning complex changes, and understanding the codebase or dependencies in a read-only mode that is safe from accidental changes or executions….
AI has made writing code feel like cheating. The real trouble shows up right after git push. That is the part almost no one is talking about, and it is where most AI-assisted projects quietly die. It is not usually the code that fails. It is everything around it, because the cloud is unforgiving. Developers…
Anthropic has introduced Code Review to Claude Code, a new feature that performs deep, multi-agent code reviews that catch bugs humans often miss, the company said. Introduced March 9, Code Review is available in a research preview stage for Claude for Teams and Claude for Enterprises customers. Dispatching agents on a pull request, Code Review…
JetBrains has introduced two new tools for AI-assisted software development: Air, an environment for delegating coding tasks to multiple AI agents and running them concurrently, and Junie CLI, an LLM-agnostic coding agent. Both were announced on March 9. Air, in public preview, can be downloaded from air.dev, while Junie CLI, in beta, is accessible at…
In the era of support apps and chatbots, telephony continues to hold strong as the backbone of customer communication, and voice AI is entering the call center scene to further streamline customer interaction. However, this means developers are suddenly being confronted with a whole new set of challenges, foremost among them the difficulty of bridging the…
Inception has introduced Mercury 2, calling it the world’s fastest reasoning LLM. Intended for production AI, the large language model leverages parallel refinement rather than sequential decoding. Mercury 2 was announced February 24, with access requests available on Inception’s website. Developers can also try Mercury 2 using the Inception chat. Inception says Mercury 2 is…
Anthropic has launched Claude Sonnet 4.6, an update to the company’s hybrid reasoning model that brings improvements in coding consistency and instruction following, Anthropic said. Introduced February 17, Claude Sonnet 4.6 is a full upgrade of the model’s skills across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, design, and knowledge work, according to Anthropic. the…
