Air in JetBrains IDEs

Developer tool

by JetBrains

Free IDE plugin that runs several coding agents (Junie, Claude Agent, Codex, Copilot or any ACP agent) side by side across projects, tracks their sessions and changed files, and lets the developer review each diff with the IDE's own code intelligence.

What it does

• Agentic coding
• Agent orchestration

Features 6

• Parallel work trackingKeep several projects open, each with its own sessions, and track unread updates, changed files and outgoing commits.
• Agent panel and terminal viewRun sessions in the agent panel or the terminal view, and send selected code to a session by pressing Ctrl twice.
• Local and cloud runsStart locally and hand longer tasks to cloud-based agents that keep working when you close your laptop.
• IDE code intelligence for agentsThe IDE's code intelligence resolves usages, dependencies and types so agents use fewer tokens.
• In-context change reviewOpen diffs from an agent session, validate with IDE tools, and leave comments on specific lines for the agent.
• Agent registryAir finds compatible agents on your machine, connects them with a click and can add new ones from the agent registry.
