GitHub Copilot becomes available in JetBrains Air

GitHub and JetBrains added Copilot to Air through the Agent Client Protocol. Developers can run local tasks using their Copilot subscription; cloud tasks require an Air Teams-enabled business organization and administrator enablement.

One more agent in Air

GitHub Copilot became available in JetBrains Air on November 3 through the Agent Client Protocol. Users can delegate coding tasks, guide execution and review changes alongside their project. The integration uses a Copilot subscription rather than JetBrains AI credits and supports local work in JetBrains IDEs as well as cloud tasks. [1][2]

Cloud access requires a JetBrains account in an Air Teams-enabled business organization, a Copilot subscription and administrator enablement. GitHub describes each cloud task as running in a Docker container on a fresh virtual machine. Air’s governance and analytics features do not include Copilot usage, and administrators cannot set Copilot spending limits within Air. [1]
