JetBrains Air: A System of Products for Agentic Software Development
JetBrains has introduced 'JetBrains Air,' a new system of products designed to support agentic software development. The platform aims to move beyond individual IDEs to provide a coordinated, multi-vendor environment for managing AI-driven coding workflows.
Why it matters
This represents a strategic shift for a major developer tool provider, acknowledging that AI agents are fundamentally changing the software development lifecycle.
AI can produce code. Organizations still have to produce software. Agentic development is changing how software gets made, but it hasn’t changed what it costs to be wrong.
Six months ago, we began publicly experimenting with agentic development environments. Around the same time, we introduced JetBrains Central as an open control and execution system for agent-driven development. We subsequently began rolling out JetBrains Central CLI , shared context, cloud agents, automations, governance, and AI cost controls for teams and organizations.
Today, we are bringing this work together as JetBrains Air: an open, coherent system of products for developers, teams, and organizations, inside and beyond JetBrains IDEs. It is multi-surface and multi-service. Each product solves a distinct problem, but the products work better together.
