JetBrains on September 22 announced JetBrains Air, an open system of products for managing AI-powered software development workflows across developers, teams, and organizations. JetBrains Air includes products that are available today and others that will be introduced as the system develops, JetBrains said.
“For 26 years, we have focused primarily on the individual developer workbench. Now, we are building for the wider system through which agentic work is initiated, executed, coordinated, reviewed, and governed,” JetBrains CEO Kirill Skrygan said in a blog post announcing the initiative. Skrygan said the product suite would include:
- Air in JetBrains IDEs – a complete agentic development experience for directing and orchestrating agents and verifying their work inside JetBrains IDEs.
- Air Teams – a new way to coordinate and automate software-delivery workflows involving developers and autonomous agents.
- Air Governance (formerly JetBrains Central) – organizational policy, visibility, auditability, cost management, and accountability for AI-assisted and agent-driven development.
JetBrains Air will develop through a rolling series of releases. Over time, the product suite will extend further into mobile and remote experiences, allowing developers to initiate, monitor, review, and continue agentic work as it moves between environments, Skrygan said. The company will also bring JetBrains’ intelligence into more agentic workflows, he said, including richer context from code, architecture, repositories, runtime behavior, and organizational knowledge, and better ways to route work between developers, models, agents, and services.
