Air consolidates prior efforts (JetBrains Central, Central CLI) into three components: Air in JetBrains IDEs for directing and verifying agent work, Air Teams for coordinating agent workflows across teams, and Air Governance (formerly JetBrains Central) for policy, cost, and audit controls. The system is designed to be multi-vendor, supporting external agents and models via the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) and its registry, while JetBrains' own coding agent Junie is supported across all surfaces. The company frames the shift as necessary because agent adoption has outpaced organizational infrastructure for governance, cost visibility, and verification, and because the real bottleneck now is verifying and owning AI-generated code rather than producing it. Future plans include mobile/remote experiences and deeper code-intelligence-driven agent workflows. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

JetBrains Air is an open system of products for agentic software development consisting of three components: Air in JetBrains IDEs for directing and verifying agent work, Air Teams for coordinating agent workflows across developers, and Air Governance (formerly JetBrains Central) for organizational policy, cost management, and auditability. Junie, JetBrains' coding agent, is supported across all Air surfaces. _Track how JetBrains structures agentic workflows and governance tooling on daily.dev as agentic development evolves._ ### What was JetBrains Central renamed to and what does it do now? JetBrains Central has been renamed Air Governance as part of the JetBrains Air system. It provides organizational policy, visibility, auditability, cost management, and accountability for AI-assisted and agent-driven development, and is designed to extend visibility and cost governance across multiple AI providers and tools, not just JetBrains' own agent. _Developers comparing agent governance tooling can follow platform naming and scope changes on daily.dev._ ### What is the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) used for in JetBrains IDEs? The Agent Client Protocol standardizes the connection between an IDE and an agent's full harness, including its planning, logic, tools, model routing, and observability. Through the ACP Registry, developers can discover and run a growing range of compatible third-party agents while continuing to work inside JetBrains IDEs, supporting a multi-vendor agent ecosystem. _daily.dev helps developers evaluating multi-agent IDE integrations keep up with protocol and tooling changes._ --- Tags: [#agentic-ai](https://daily.dev/tags/agentic-ai), [#jetbrains](https://daily.dev/tags/jetbrains), [#ai-governance](https://daily.dev/tags/ai-governance) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/jetbrains-air-building-a-system-of-products-for-agentic-software-development-4kn5dhuhy) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"JetBrains Air: Building a System of Products for Agentic Software Development","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/jetbrains-air-building-a-system-of-products-for-agentic-software-development-4kn5dhuhy","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/jetbrains-air-building-a-system-of-products-for-agentic-software-development-4kn5dhuhy"},"datePublished":"2026-09-22T09:53:15.516Z","dateModified":"2026-09-22T09:53:40.345Z","description":"JetBrains introduces Air, a unified system of products for agentic software development spanning individual IDE work, team coordination, and organizational...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/6259d8859fd47675c1512a5beab72127?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/6259d8859fd47675c1512a5beab72127?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"JetBrains","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"JetBrains","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/53ecf0c676f34b3896ee109609d91efa","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/jetbrains-air-building-a-system-of-products-for-agentic-software-development-4kn5dhuhy","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"agentic-ai,jetbrains,ai-governance","timeRequired":"PT9M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"JetBrains","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/jetbrains"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"JetBrains Air: Building a System of Products for Agentic Software Development"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/jetbrains-air-building-a-system-of-products-for-agentic-software-development-4kn5dhuhy#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is JetBrains Air and what products does it include?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"JetBrains Air is an open system of products for agentic software development consisting of three components: Air in JetBrains IDEs for directing and verifying agent work, Air Teams for coordinating agent workflows across developers, and Air Governance (formerly JetBrains Central) for organizational policy, cost management, and auditability.
