## What it does

**Writes code** · Yes — Agents 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 directly in the AI chat.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/ · Section 'Move faster with AI agents handling the work'

**Debugs and fixes** · Partly — The 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.

> Explain errors and exceptions

**Writes tests** · Yes — Unit-test generation is listed as one of the built-in AI actions in JetBrains IDEs, alongside documentation and commit-message generation.

> Generate unit tests
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/ · 'Find help where you need it' feature list

**Reviews code** · Yes — The 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/ · 'Review every change in context', Air in IDEs section

**Whole-codebase work** · Yes — Air 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 better.

## How much it does unattended

**Runs autonomously** · Yes — Air 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/ · 'Automate busywork', Air Teams section

**Agent permissions** · Yes — Autonomy 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.

**Model choice** · Yes — Model 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 subscriptions
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/ · 'An open platform for your coding agents' bullet list

## Where you use it

**In your editor** · Yes — The 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · 'Wherever your developers work' – Air in IDEs

**On the command line** · Yes — Terminal 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · 'Wherever your developers work' – Terminal agents

**In a browser** · Partly — A 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 the coming months.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/ · 'Switch screens without a second thought'

## Whose machine it runs on

**Self-hosted** · Partly — Hybrid 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 logs
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · Plans and pricing, Enterprise column

**Open-source runtime** · Partly — You 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/ · 'Get started' section

## Building with it

**Tracing and evals** · Partly — Admins 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · 'What you can do with Air Governance' – Measure AI adoption

## What it costs to run

**How it meters** · Yes — Two 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 surcharge.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/store/ai/ · FAQ, 'What are AI credits?'

**Cost of one job** · Partly — A 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 credits
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/store/ai/ · AI Pro plan card, For Individual Use

**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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/store/ai/ · FAQ, 'Do you offer free AI access?'

**Free tier** · Yes — An 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 activate JetBrains AI in a JetBrains IDE.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/store/ai/ · FAQ, 'Do you offer free AI access?'

**API access** · Partly — The 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 API
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · Plans and pricing, Business column

**MCP server** · Partly — MCP 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/ · 'Connect agents to external data sources and tools'

**Bring your own key** · Yes — Own 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. Usage is billed directly by the provider.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/store/ai/ · FAQ, 'Can I use my own AI provider in JetBrains products?'

## Buying it for a team

**A company can buy it** · Yes — Organisations 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/store/ai/ · FAQ, 'What is JetBrains AI?' – For teams and organizations

**Seat model** · Yes — Individual 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 month
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · Plans and pricing, Business column price cell

**Pooled budget** · Yes — Organisation credits sit in one shared pool across the company, and suite subscriptions add twenty credits per seat into that same pool.

> Shared pool of credits
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · Plans and pricing, Basic column feature list

**Admin controls** · Yes — Admins 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · 'What you can do with Air Governance' – Control AI access

**Audit log** · Partly — AI 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 configuration
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · Plans and pricing, Enterprise column

**Single sign-on** · Yes — SSO 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.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/air/governance/ · 'Enterprise-grade security and governance' – Secure access

## What happens to your code

**Opt out of training** · Yes — Data 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 and train JetBrains-owned models, such as Mellum.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/ai-ides/ · 'Stay in control of your data' – Transparent, optional data sharing

**Getting out** · Partly — Credit 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 credits don't roll over.
> — https://www.jetbrains.com/store/ai/ · FAQ, 'What is JetBrains AI?' – For individual users

**Certifications** · Yes — SOC 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. SOC 2 Type II GDPR compliant
