JetBrains Air

JetBrains built the IDEs developers actually want to use—IntelliJ, PyCharm, WebStorm, the tools that made coding feel less like wrestling with your own keyboard. Now they're doing something unexpected. Air runs Codex, Claude Agents, Gemini CLI, and Junie side by side in one unified workspace. Yes, ALL OF THEM, simultaneously. Not切换. Not choose your fighter. All four, running in parallel, working together.

This solves a problem every developer building with AI has faced: Claude is great at refactoring, Codex kills at context-heavy tasks, Gemini CLI pulls different knowledge. But switching between them loses context, and copying prompts across tools loses time. Air keeps every agent in the same conversation, same project, same window. You get the best of each model's strengths without the annoying parts of manual handoff. It's basically a command center for AI coding assistance.

The team includes George Apostolov, Karan Sahani, Abhishek Gawande, Sumit Pareek, Comrade Revo, Kawin Nikomborirak, and Viorel Mocanu—people who've been in the developer tool space for years. JetBrains didn't get to millions of developers by accident. They know what sticks.
