JetBrains Air: Run AI Coding Agents in JetBrains IDEs
Summary
JetBrains introduced Air, a suite that lets developers run and manage AI coding agents inside JetBrains IDEs, in cloud‑shared team projects, and with organization‑level governance. The preview plugin works with any ACP‑compatible agent and offers built‑in controls for usage and costs.
- JetBrains Air bundles three products: IDE plugin, Air Teams, and Air Governance.
- The IDE plugin supports multiple agents (Claude, Codex, Junie, Copilot, OpenCode) via the Agent Client Protocol.
- Air Teams lets developers run shared agent tasks in cloud environments, currently in early access.
- Air Governance provides model/agent permissions, spending caps, and usage analytics for organizations.
Engineering leaders evaluating AI‑assisted development need to know JetBrains now offers a unified, controllable platform for agents across IDEs and teams.
