JetBrains Air
Agentic development environment for delegating coding tasks to AI agents
Free Coding Desktop
Overview
JetBrains Air is an agentic development environment (ADE) that lets developers delegate coding tasks to AI agents while keeping full control. Define tasks through conversational prompts, run multiple agents simultaneously, and review changes via unified or split diffs with inline commenting. Supports Claude Agent and OpenAI Codex models (GPT-5.1/5.2). Tasks execute in isolated environments — git worktrees, Docker containers, or local workspace. Includes web preview, local history snapshots for rollback, MCP server integration, and automated commit message generation.
Pricing: Free (requires Claude or OpenAI subscription)
Architecture: Apple Silicon, Intel
