Since we launched the JetBrains Air, Windows support has been one of the most requested updates from the developer community. We heard that feedback and worked hard to bring Air to Windows.

Air is built for agent-agnostic development – you can use leading AI coding agents to implement features, fix bugs, investigate code, generate changes, and review results in a dedicated agent-first development environment. With the Windows release, more developers can now bring Air into their daily workflow.

Development workflows you can try in Air

The Air desktop app fills the gap between running agents in the terminal and working in a full IDE. It gives you a dedicated environment for agentic development, where you can run tasks, review results, and keep your main coding workflow focused.

Here are a few simple workflows to get started with Air.

Start with a plan and precise task context

Start in Plan mode and describe what you want to implement. Air saves your execution plan to a markdown file before implementation begins, so you can iterate on it, leave comments, reference classes, folders, files, docs, symbols, or exact lines, and upload files from your computer as additional context.

Then choose which agent executes the task and where it runs: locally, or in a Git worktree.

Let the agent make changes, then review the diff before deciding what to keep. Better context leads to better output.

Implement several features with agents running in parallel

Run agents simultaneously in separate Git worktrees. Each agent gets its own working directory and branch, so their changes stay independent and don’t conflict.

Review the results, apply the changes you want, and commit them to main when ready.

Review code from one agent using a different agent

Use one agent to implement a task and another to review the result. For example, you can ask Claude to handle the implementation and Codex to review the changes.

The reviewing agent leaves comments directly in code. You can choose what is worth improving, add your own comments, and send the task back to the original agent. In Air, you can build this kind of multi-agent workflow without additional workarounds.

Over the past few months, we invested heavily in app stability. The goal was simple: make sure Windows developers can start using Air without workarounds. We’ve learned a lot since the first release, and we wanted Windows developers to have a reliable experience from day one.
