OpenAI Codex Native Integration in JetBrains

Narrative

Codex integrated natively in JetBrains IDEs (v2025.3+). Asynchronous task-based agents. Multi-file editing, build verification in cloud sandboxes. Beyond inline suggestions.

Insight Distillery

Reality

Integration functional. Autonomous workflow verified: reads codebase, identifies files, makes multi-file changes, runs builds. Shift from Copilot synchronous to asynchronous task completion.

Implication

Redefined AI coding assistants. From inline suggestions to autonomous task completion. IDE becomes development partner, not just autocomplete.
