## AI overview

Netflix and JetBrains integrated JetBrains' headless code intelligence engine with Claude Code and Codex to help coding agents navigate Java and Kotlin projects, including library code distributed as JAR files. In Netflix's benchmark, the integration generally improved efficiency while correctness held steady or improved. The reported gains varied by model and task, and the article describes the benchmark results as a snapshot.

## Source excerpt

Netflix plugged JetBrains' headless code-intelligence engine - the same one behind IntelliJ IDEA - into Claude Code and Codex, then benchmarked it against a variety of scenarios.
