A frontier coding agent that runs alongside Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor
Run Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Reason agents on the same repository without conflicts, so each tool handles what it does best.
Start an agent session from a script, CI job, or your own product, then poll or stream the result through a REST endpoint.
Give each Reason agent a name and team, and watch it work in a shared workspace alongside your human teammates.
Mention Reason in a Slack thread and get back a pull request, presentation, or answer once the task is finished.
Write code with precision, hand bigger jobs to agents, and keep working from anywhere
Agents open the repository, form a plan, edit multiple files and explain the changes so you can review each diff before accepting it. You can also run several agents in parallel to push a backlog forward.
Point the editor at Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Microsoft or open-weight models, or bring your own key. Pick the Copilot, Claude or Codex harness that matches how you like to work.
JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML and CSS work out of the box, and Marketplace extensions add IntelliSense, linting, refactoring and debuggers for Python, Java, C++, Go, Rust and more.
Integrated terminal, source control, debugger, testing, Jupyter notebooks, an integrated browser and Dev Containers all live in one window, so you stay close to the code.
