Air is moving into your IDE
Earlier this year, we introduced the Air app as our first step into agentic development. Since then, we’ve learned a lot and seen real productivity gains from developers working with agents.
As we developed Air further, one thing became increasingly clear: developers don’t need another standalone app. Tools and agents should be built into the environment where you already work.
Millions of developers work in JetBrains IDEs every day. So instead of asking you to keep two apps open and constantly switch between them, we’re bringing the Air experience directly into our IDEs, free versions included.
