The facts, with their sources

What it does

Writes code: YesAgents run inside the IDE with project context and write code from a prompt; the marketing demo shows an agent adding a header toggle and editing components directly.Access top coding agents in a unified IDE experience, fully integrated with your project context. Configure models, modes, and agent autonomy…jetbrains.com/ai-ides
Debugs and fixes: PartlyThe IDE features explain errors and exceptions and automations can be set up for fixes, but the pages stop short of describing an end-to-end diagnose-and-land-the-fix flow.jetbrains.com/ai-ides
Writes tests: YesUnit-test generation is listed as one of the built-in AI actions in JetBrains IDEs, alongside documentation and commit-message generation.Generate unit testsjetbrains.com/ai-ides
Reviews code: YesThe IDE can review uncommitted changes, diffs open from an agent session for line comments, and Air Teams automations cover code review.Open diffs directly from an agent session, validate changes with your IDE tools, and leave comments on specific lines for the agent to act on.jetbrains.com/air
Whole-codebase work: YesAir Governance gives agents a semantic index of the whole codebase instead of ad-hoc scanning, which is the repository-wide context a cross-repo change needs.Let agents start from a semantic index of your code instead of scanning the whole codebase. Spend fewer tokens and get output that fits your project…jetbrains.com/air/governance

How much it does unattended

Runs autonomously: YesAir Teams lets repeatable work be delegated to agents through automations triggered by repository events, so runs complete without someone prompting each step.Delegate repeatable tasks to coding agents. Set up automations for code review, release notes, fixes, and more.jetbrains.com/air
Agent permissions: YesAutonomy is a setting the developer picks in the AI chat, and admins can additionally restrict which models and agents are reachable at all.Configure models, modes, and agent autonomy directly in the AI chat.jetbrains.com/ai-ides

Which models it runs on

Claude: YesAnthropic is named as a model provider behind the subscription and Claude Agent is one of the agents included in the AI Pro and AI Ultimate plans.JetBrains AI is a service that provides access to AI models from leading providers such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, and xAI, as well as…jetbrains.com/store/ai
GPT: YesOpenAI is listed as a provider in the subscription and the Codex agent appears on the AI Pro and AI Ultimate plan cards.giving you access to coding agents like Codex, Claude Agent, Gemini CLI, and Junie by JetBrainsjetbrains.com/store/ai
Gemini: YesGoogle Gemini is named as a provider and Gemini CLI is one of the coding agents the credits can be spent on.jetbrains.com/store/ai
Open models: YesThe platform pitch includes running your own local models beside the hosted frontier providers, so open-weight models can be pointed at the IDE.The latest AI models from frontier providers or your own local modelsjetbrains.com/ai-ides
Model choice: YesModel and agent choice is the stated selling point, with no vendor lock-in and the option to switch provider subscriptions mid-session.No vendor lock-in – bring your own API keys and subscriptionsjetbrains.com/ai-ides

Where you use it

In your editor: YesThe IDE is the primary surface: agents, chat and completion run inside JetBrains IDEs via a plugin installed from the AI Chat icon.Top coding agents in JetBrains IDEs, fully integrated with your project context. Access and usage are governed from the first prompt.jetbrains.com/air/governance
On the command line: YesTerminal agents such as Claude Code connect to the same governed subscription, so developers can stay in a shell rather than the IDE.Connect Claude Code and other terminal agents to Air Governance. Developers stay in the terminal, and you manage their access and quotas centrally.jetbrains.com/air/governance
In a browser: PartlyA browser surface exists but the vendor says cloud runs reach only some customers today, with the rest rolled out gradually over coming months.Cloud runs are already available for some customers in JetBrains IDEs and the browser. Rollout to all remaining customers will happen gradually over…jetbrains.com/air

Whose machine it runs on

Self-hosted: PartlyHybrid deployments are offered, but only on the custom-priced Enterprise governance plan rather than to individual or Business subscribers.Everything in the Business plan Hybrid deployments AI audit logsjetbrains.com/air/governance
Open-source runtime: PartlyYou can run your own agents and model providers without buying any JetBrains AI subscription, but it still happens inside a JetBrains IDE rather than standalone.Try JetBrains AI Pro free for one month, or connect your own agents and model providers – with no JetBrains AI subscription required.jetbrains.com/ai-ides

Building with it

Tracing and evals: PartlyAdmins get adoption and spend analytics plus an Analytics API on Business, but the pages describe aggregate measurement rather than per-run tracing or evaluation.See which AI tools your teams use and how often they accept AI-generated code. Use that data to decide where to invest more or change course.jetbrains.com/air/governance

What it costs to run

How it meters: YesTwo units stack: a per-user subscription fee and AI credits consumed per run, where one credit equals one US dollar of model usage at public API rates.One AI credit equals USD 1.00 of AI use (charged in your local currency). Usage of third-party AI models is billed at public API rates, with no…jetbrains.com/store/ai
Cost of one job: PartlyA developer-month on the cheapest paid plan buys ten AI credits, each worth one dollar of model usage, but the credit cost of any given task is not published.Unlimited AI completion in JetBrains IDEs 10 monthly AI creditsjetbrains.com/store/ai
Free credit: Yes$3 of free usage (3 credits at $1 each), a month.Individual users can use the AI Free plan, which includes three AI credits every 30 days.jetbrains.com/store/ai
Free tier: YesAn AI Free plan gives unlimited completion and three credits every thirty days with no sales call, plus a 30-day AI Pro trial on first activation.Individual users can use the AI Free plan, which includes three AI credits every 30 days. A free 30-day AI Pro trial is also available when you first…jetbrains.com/store/ai
API access: PartlyThe only API named is an Analytics API on the Business governance plan for usage reporting; no public API drives the agents themselves.Model and agent controls Group-level AI policies Centralized MCP management Analytics APIjetbrains.com/air/governance
MCP server: PartlyMCP is supported in the client direction, letting agents reach external tools, and Business adds centralized MCP management; the product is not itself an MCP server another agent queries.Use the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to connect APIs, databases, file systems, and tools, giving agents access to real-world context.jetbrains.com/ai-ides
Bring your own key: YesOwn provider accounts and own API keys are both supported, billed by the provider and bypassing JetBrains credits entirely; Business adds managed BYOK.Yes. You can connect supported AI providers using an existing provider account or your own API key. JetBrains AI is optional in these scenarios.…jetbrains.com/store/ai

Buying it for a team

A company can buy it: YesOrganisations buy credits in any amount for shared use and can add a governance plan on top, rather than being limited to individual plans.Organizations don't have fixed JetBrains AI credit plans. They can purchase JetBrains AI credits in any amount for shared use across the organization.jetbrains.com/store/ai
Seat model: YesIndividual plans are priced per user per month and the Business governance plan is per seat, with Enterprise aimed at organisations of 100 developers or more.€17.00 /seat (about $19) per monthjetbrains.com/air/governance
Pooled budget: YesOrganisation credits sit in one shared pool across the company, and suite subscriptions add twenty credits per seat into that same pool.Shared pool of creditsjetbrains.com/air/governance
Admin controls: YesAdmins choose which models and agents developers may use and set team and individual budgets; the finer group-level policies sit on the Business plan.Choose which models and agents your developers can use. Set permissions for the whole organization, or tailor them to specific teams and people.jetbrains.com/air/governance
Audit log: PartlyAI audit logs are listed only in the custom-priced Enterprise governance column, so Basic and Business buyers do not get them.Everything in the Business plan Hybrid deployments AI audit logs Workspaces IdP and SCIM configurationjetbrains.com/air/governance
Single sign-on: YesSSO and access control are in the free Basic governance plan, and admin actions are secured through SSO and OAuth; the pages do not name SAML or OIDC specifically.Developer access and admin actions are secured through SSO and OAuth.jetbrains.com/air/governance

What happens to your code

Opt out of training: YesData sharing is opt-in rather than default, and the free Basic governance plan states outright that your data is not trained on.Data sharing is always optional and fully under your control. If you explicitly allow data sharing, it will be used solely to improve JetBrains tools…jetbrains.com/ai-ides
Getting out: PartlyCredit expiry is published and unforgiving — monthly credits do not roll over and purchased top-ups die after twelve months — while data export is not addressed at all.Each plan includes a different number of AI credits, renewed every 30 days from the date you first activated your JetBrains AI license. Unused…jetbrains.com/store/ai
Certifications: YesSOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance are both claimed on the governance page, with a Trust Center linked for the underlying documentation.AI workflows with the visibility, safeguards, and infrastructure modern organizations expect.
