"Air, now free for MacOS with Linux and Windows versions coming soon, is an agentic development environment, or ADE, built on the idea of integrating the essential tools for managing coding agents into a single coherent experience. Serving as a single workspace where Claude Agent, Gemini CLI, Codex, and Junie CLI can work side-by-side, Air helps developers navigate a codebase and easily switch back and forth between different coding agents."
"Developers can mention a specific line, commit, class, method, or other symbol when defining a task, providing the agent with precise context instead of a blob of pasted text. And when the task is done, Air displays the changes in the context of the entire codebase, along with essential tools like a terminal, Git, and a built-in preview."
"Air will soon add support for additional coding agents via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) through the ACP Agent Registry, the company noted."
JetBrains announced Air and Junie CLI on March 9 as new AI-assisted software development tools. Air is an agentic development environment available in public preview, currently free for macOS with Linux and Windows versions forthcoming. It functions as a unified workspace integrating multiple coding agents including Claude Agent, Gemini CLI, Codex, and Junie CLI, allowing concurrent task execution. Air enables developers to provide precise context by referencing specific code elements and displays changes within the full codebase context alongside terminal, Git, and preview tools. Junie CLI, in beta, operates as an LLM-agnostic coding agent. Both tools support the Agent Client Protocol for expanding agent compatibility through the ACP Agent Registry.
