JetBrains Air
Open system for agentic software development spanning IDEs, team workflows, and org governance.
Why it matters
One open system covering IDE agents, team delivery workflows, and org-level governance with audit and cost control.
What you could build with it
Adopt the governance-layer pattern — policy, audit, cost control — for any team running fleets of coding agents.
Does it hold up?
Value today is orchestrating existing agents (Claude, Codex, Gemini, Junie) in parallel worktree/Docker environments via ACP - no Air-specific ecosystem exists yet. Too early to judge.
Built with JetBrains Air
- JetBrains built an AI agent IDE — first impressionsmedium · A user added a Gemini key and ran real parallel agent tasks, noting per-task git branches and the review step.
- JetBrains Air launch discussionhackernews · Developers sharing production-style usage, including agents run via the JetBrains MCP stack producing far more output than hand-coding.
- markpollack/acp-java-tutorialgithub · Builds a custom Java ACP agent and connects it to JetBrains clients.
