I'm thrilled to announce that Zencoder has acquired Machinet, bringing their impressive community of 100,000+ JetBrains users into our ecosystem!
Why This Matters for Developers Like You
In today's fast-moving AI coding assistant landscape, having the right tools in the right places makes all the difference. By joining forces with Machinet, we're making it easier for developers to access powerful AI capabilities no matter which environment you prefer working in.
Machinet has built something special—a large, engaged community within the JetBrains world. Now, we're combining their deep JetBrains expertise with our advanced AI capabilities to create something even better for all developers.
The Reality of Modern Development
Our research shows that developers have their preferred IDEs, either in general, or based on the language they are using at the time. We get it—different tools work better for different tasks!
That's why we're committed to bringing you our state-of-the-art coding and testing agents across all environments. Whether you're coding in VS Code, IntelliJ, PyCharm, or any other JetBrains IDE, Zencoder will be there to help with:
- Coding agent to assist you with implementing new features, fixing bugs, and other routine
- Intelligent test writing that actually understands your coverage goals
- Custom agents that help your organization develop and maintain best practices
- And of course, “coffee mode”. There are three things you can watch forever: fire burning, water falling, and AI Agents doing their thing
What This Means for Machinet Users
If you're one of the Machinet users joining us today—welcome! You'll soon gain access to our full suite of advanced capabilities without leaving your preferred JetBrains environment.
Looking Forward
This acquisition is just one piece of our broader strategy. By bringing together the best of both ecosystems, we'll be able to:
- Learn faster with feedback from a more diverse developer community
- Improve experiences across all environments
- Offer truly unified solutions for enterprise teams
Join Us on This Journey
AI Agents are rapidly turning from cool research projects in the labs into an indispensable everyday tool for software engineers. We're excited to have you with us as we build this future together!
