JetBrains Air
Launched this week
JetBrains Air is built for agent-driven development. It brings your favorite coding agents – Codex, Claude Agent, Gemini CLI, and Junie – into one coherent workflow designed for real codebases.
Air helps you define tasks precisely, run them in isolation, and review the results with full code intelligence – all in one place.
Download Air – free for macOS. Windows and Linux versions coming soon.
Launch Team
This is exactly the workflow we've been doing manually.
We're 3 people building Vidtreo — a video recording API (also launching on PH today). Our daily reality is running Claude agents across three repos simultaneously: backend on Cloudflare Workers, browser SDK with WebCodecs transcoding, and a React dashboard. The context switching between terminals and agents is brutal.
The idea of referencing a specific line or method when defining a task for an agent — that alone would save us hours. Right now we paste file paths and line numbers into prompts like cavemen.
Sandboxing agents in worktrees is the other killer feature. We've had agents step on each other's changes more times than I'd like to admit.
Really excited to try this with our stack. Multi-agent development isn't hypothetical anymore — teams are shipping production infrastructure this way today.
A recent thread [1] suggested running more coding agents in parallel. Products like @Axel and @Superset initiated the movement. This is @JetBrains' response. LFG
[1]: How many Claude Codes do you run in parallel?
Product Hunt

I can't recommend this product, because I've tried to make it work and it just doesn't. Command execution didn't start (it got stuck in a scheduled state). I've tried to reach out to @JetBrains on X, but no reply. Eventually I found an issue in their issue tracker, started to wait for the resolution and guess what? The issue is gone now. I used to love JetBrains, I'm paying for WebStorm and JetBrains AI (Ultimate), but this is the last year I'm doing it, because the frustration from their products is immeasurable nowdays.
oh that's good feedback. what alternatives have you considered?

@fmerian I haven't tried many, to be honest, because Codex desktop works like a charm. The only downside is that there is no $100 plan, many people would love that!
As a middle-out option between Plus and Pro? makes sense.
You're spot on re: Codex. I really like the unified UI, better than running tabs in @Claude Code. On the other hand, being limited to @OpenAI 's models is a blocker to me.
Full disclosure: I'm currently enjoying using @Axel (open-source alternative).
Been juggling Claude Code and Codex on the same codebase and they keep stepping on each other's files. So the isolation part — does each agent get its own worktree, or is it more branch-per-task? Curious how the review works when two agents touch the same file.
As a JetBrains subscriber for over a decade (grandfathered, still using WebStorm + AI Ultimate), I’m curious: what’s the one key improvement or use case in JetBrains Air that justifies switching from my current workflow, especially given the reported stability issues i'm seeing down below?
Good luck on the launch. Hope it smooths out quickly for longtime users like me
Been using JetBrains for years and their database tool window still feels like having a senior DBA sitting next to me - caught a production query that would've cost us $3k/day in unnecessary joins last week. The way they surface performance hints while you're writing SQL is almost unfair to other IDEs.
