JetBrains Air: Complete Guide to AI-Powered Development

Ethan

Last update :

JetBrains Air is an agentic development environment designed to help developers work with AI coding agents.

It provides a dedicated workspace where developers can assign coding tasks to AI agents and review their results.

Air supports multiple coding agents, including Claude, Codex, Gemini CLI, and other compatible agents.

Developers can run different agents in separate workspaces and review their changes before applying them to a project.

The platform also supports planning workflows, allowing users to define tasks and provide files, folders, symbols, and other context.

Recent updates added support for additional agents through the Agent Client Protocol.

JetBrains Air also includes Java and Kotlin code intelligence powered by IntelliJ technology.

On Windows, Air can run supported agent tasks inside Docker containers for isolated development workflows.

Supported Platforms

JetBrains Air is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
