    I wasn't able to integrate Air into my workflow on my first attempt. I'd hoped it would unify Claude and OpenAI, but Claude doesn't let you use it unless you are on the Token plan, which IIRC only makes sense for enterprises. I did not see any immediate advantages in Air over the Codex application, but will try it again in a few months.

    I still love RustRover and PyCharm! Switching to anything else would be a big downgrade.

    Side note: I am confused by the various JB LLM integrations. Air, Junie, at least 1 (maybe 2 more?) the IDEas have suggested I try.

      There's an ACP connector that allows you to use Claude with a subscribtion.

      It's not bundled with the IDEs but it's available on github

        I could def go for some ACP RN.

          { "agent_servers": { "Claude Code": { "command": "bunx", "args": ["@zed-industries/claude-code-acp"], "env": {} } } }

          is to be put into your Air's acp.json (or swap bunx with npx / pnpm exec if you have only one of them)
