Air is not an AI provider itself but a conduit that lets developers bring existing agents (Codex, GitHub Copilot, Junie, Cursor, Claude Agent, Gemini, and other ACP-compatible agents) directly into the IDE, running sessions in parallel with visibility into progress, cost, diffs, and worktrees. A free Junie Lite agent is offered to try the experience without a paid subscription. AI Assistant remains available as a separate plugin, and Air ships with no agents installed, sending no data anywhere until a user signs in to an agent or JetBrains AI plan. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
