JetBrains brings coding agents into the IDE with Air: one place to track, review and send back changes, shipping in 2026.3
JetBrains shipped Air in its 2026.3 IDEs, bringing coding agents into the developer's existing environment with one place to track session progress, review changes and send feedback. JetBrains frames the problem as a shift in bottleneck: as agents write more code, review becomes the constraint, and it cites a report finding that 49% of developers now spend four or more hours a week reviewing AI output and correcting prompts. Through the IDE's MCP server and built-in skills, agents can run inspections, build and run configurations, query databases and use the IDE's own refactorings, and in IntelliJ IDEA and CLion they can also drive the debugger.
