JetBrains Air is a unified system for building software with AI agents.
What is JetBrains AI?
JetBrains Air is a unified system for building software with AI agents.It moves beyond single-model limitations by allowing developers to connect and use multiple agents simultaneously, including Claude Agent, Codex, Junie, Copilot, OpenCode, and any agent compatible with the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP).
Deeply integrated into JetBrains IDEs, Web interfaces, and CLI, Air enables agents to run in the cloud, freeing work from local machine constraints.Developers can review code changes directly within their IDE, automate repetitive tasks like code reviews and documentation updates, and manage project dependencies and secrets through dedicated cloud environments, facilitating a seamless transition from individual development to team collaboration.
Key features
- Multi-Agent CompConnect and use major agents like Claude Agent, Codex, Junie, Gemini, and Copilot, along with any agent compatible with the Agent Communication Protocol (ACP), allowing flexible switching and combination.
- Deep IDE IntegraRun agent tasks directly within JetBrains IDEs, view diffs, validate changes with IDE tools, and leave comments on specific lines for agents to act upon.
- Cloud ExecutionAgents run in the cloud with dedicated environments per project, allowing control over VM size, internet access, and secure management of variables and secrets.
- Workflow AutomatSet up automations for repetitive tasks such as updating documentation on merge, auto-reviewing PRs, or running lint checks on commit pushes.
- Flexible BillingUse existing provider subscriptions or API keys, or pay via JetBrains AI credits at public API rates.Switch between subscription sources even mid-session.
- Team CollaboratiCollaborate in shared cloud projects, invite team members, manage access, and track unread updates, file changes, and commits across parallel projects.
How to use it
- 1.Install or update your JetBrains IDE to the version supporting Air, or visit the web interface at air.jetbrains.cloud.
- 2.Connect your existing agent services (e.g., Claude, Codex) in settings or add new ACP-compatible agents.
- 3.Create a new project or import an existing repository, configuring cloud execution environments and secure variables.
- 4.Enter task instructions in the IDE sidebar or chat window, selecting a specific agent to execute code generation or refactoring.
- 5.Review the code diffs generated by the agent, accept changes, or request further modifications via comments.
- 6.(Optional) Set up automation rules, such as triggering documentation updates or code reviews automatically upon code merges.
Where it fits
- Complex FeatureLeverage cloud agents to parallelize code writing for multiple modules while maintaining control and review capabilities within the IDE.
- Automated Code MConfigure automated agents to run lint checks, update dependency notes, or generate release notes on every commit or merge.
- Cross-Device ColSince agents run in the cloud, team members can access the same project environment from different devices and seamlessly continue unfinished coding tasks.
