Brand new, so no usage figure exists. It earns a place because of JetBrains' reach and a free agent.

Key facts

As of Nov 11, 2026

Who it's for: Teams that already work in IntelliJ, PyCharm or other JetBrains IDEs.
What is it built on?: A workspace inside your JetBrains IDE, from version 2026.3, for running coding agents and reviewing their changes. Agents can use the IDE's inspections, builds, refactorings and (in IntelliJ IDEA and CLion) the debugger.
Where do the agents run?: On your machine in the IDE. JetBrains lists cloud agents and automations in early access.
Which models and agents can it use?: Works with Junie (JetBrains' agent), Codex, Claude Agent and GitHub Copilot, and other agents through the Agent Client Protocol. You can use your own provider subscription or API key, JetBrains AI, or free Junie Lite.
What do the plans cost?: Air in the IDE needs no paid JetBrains AI plan. Junie Lite is free with a JetBrains Account. Organizations can choose Basic (free), Business ($20 per seat a month) or Enterprise (on request).
How does billing work?: Through JetBrains AI, usage consumes AI credits (1 credit per $1 of provider cost). With your own provider key or subscription, that provider bills you.
Team and enterprise controls: Business adds AI governance, access control and analytics. Enterprise adds workspace-level controls, audit logging and priority support.
