Zencoder officially launched its next-generation AI coding and unit testing agents, designed to accelerate software development for professional engineers. The platform offers deep integrations with industry-standard IDEs (VS Code, JetBrains), as well as JIRA, GitHub, GitLab, Sentry, and other DevOps tools, making it the most comprehensive AI coding and testing solution on the market.

Meeting the challenges of modern development

Today’s engineering teams are often faced with:

  • Sprawling codebases : multiple repositories, complex interdependencies, and constant switching between tools depending on the context
  • Tight deadlines : pressure to deliver new features quickly without compromising quality
  • Labor-intensive tasks : systematic bug fixing, boilerplate code, and repeated testing cycles that hamper productivity.

Zencoder’s next-generation agents tackle these challenges by combining advanced AI-driven coding with deep contextual awareness of your environment.

“We’re on track to make everyone a ten times better engineer and unlock their full potential and creativity,” said Andrew Filev , CEO and founder of Zencoder. “The agents we’re introducing today are a big step forward; they’re a force multiplier that can take over routine coding, allowing you to focus on innovation and the more complex aspects of software engineering.”

Native IDE integrations and “Coffee Mode”

Unlike its competitors, which require specialized IDEs, Zencoder integrates directly with VS Code and JetBrains. This deep integration ensures a smooth workflow and easy adoption for development teams. The new “Coffee Mode” feature allows developers to step away (to relax or take a short break) while AI agents work in the background, automatically coding and testing solutions.

Additionally, over 20 new integrations, such as the “Solve with Zencoder” button in JIRA, enable engineers to leverage AI assistance across their DevOps ecosystem.

Key capabilities

  • Multi-integrated ecosystem : Goes beyond GitHub/GitLab to include Jira, Sentry, and 20+ platforms, aligning with enterprise workflows.
  • Deep understanding of the code base : ability to perform complex refactoring and merging of multiple files, essential for rapid iteration in existing systems.
  • Self-healing mechanism : automatically tests and refines results, reducing debugging time
  • Developer-centric design : Works natively in popular IDEs, supports Java and over 70 languages.

With a rapidly growing user base, Zencoder aims to reshape the way software is built, enabling teams to do more with less.

“Zencoder is like having an AI programmer in tandem: it anticipates my needs, reduces repetitive tasks, and allows me to focus on solving complex problems,” Zineng Yuan, Sr Staff ML Engineer, Paytm. “During a critical deadline, Zencoder suggested a refactoring strategy for an existing code module that reduced my workload by half and improved performance by 30%. A must-have for IntelliJ developers.”

Performance that sets new standards

Zencoder’s proprietary Repo Grokking™ technology analyzes and interprets large code bases, interdependencies, and architectural patterns. This contextual understanding enables accurate multi-file edits and delivers superior solutions against demanding benchmarks:

  • Doubled improvement over previous best performance on SWE-Bench-Multimodal
  • Peak results on the “individual contributor, hard (IC SWE (Diamond))” part of the SWE-Lancer, surpassing the best published result by 23%.

This robust performance validates Zencoder‘s position as a leader in the AI ​​coding space, offering both a dedicated coding agent and a separate agent specialized in unit testing.
