JetBrains Air

Features

• Run any agent in your IDE. Air in IDEs detects the coding agents already installed on your machine and lets you add more from an ACP agent registry. Codex, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Claude Agent and Junie work out of the box, and sessions run either in a structured agent panel or in the agent's own terminal view. Official source 1 ↗
• Parallel sessions across projects. Keep several projects open, each with its own agent sessions, and track unread updates, changed files and outgoing commits in all of them. Saved presets store an agent, model and access level for reuse. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
• Review agent changes with IDE tools. Open diffs straight from a session, check them with the IDE's code insight, refactorings, debugger and version control, leave line comments for the agent, and keep, edit or revert every change. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗
• Bring your own subscription or keys. Use existing provider subscriptions, API keys or a custom base URL, or pay with JetBrains AI credits, and switch between them even mid-session. A Claude subscription works by running Claude Code in Air's terminal tab. Official source 1 ↗
• Air Teams: cloud tasks and automations. Teams describe a task and an agent works on it in a cloud Docker environment, committing to its own task branch that a person merges through a pull request. Shared environments, secrets and connectors are set up once per project, and automations run recurring work such as code review, issue fixes and dependency updates on an event or schedule.

• Air Gateway for terminal agents. One CLI that runs Claude Code, Codex, Junie CLI and other terminal agents through a single JetBrains account and JetBrains AI credits, with access governed centrally. It is in early access. Official source 1 ↗
• Air Context codebase index. A cloud semantic index of your repositories that agents query instead of grepping through the code, including search across an organization's repos. JetBrains reports up to 68% fewer agent turns and up to 48% lower cost on its validation tasks. It works with Claude Agent, Codex and Junie and is free during early access with any JetBrains AI plan.

• Air Governance for organizations. Administrators choose which models, agents and MCP servers developers can use, set budgets for teams and individuals, bring their own provider keys and see AI adoption analytics. JetBrains states SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance. Official source 1 ↗ · Official source 2 ↗ · Official source 3 ↗
