On September 28, 2026, JetBrains introduced Air Teams in an announcement post on the JetBrains blog written by Vladimir Gromozdin. It described Air Teams as the team layer for agentic development. In it, engineering teams ran coding agents in the cloud in a shared workspace and reused automations such as code review and dependency updates.

What Air Teams included

• Automations: ran in the cloud, triggered by an event or a schedule, for recurring work such as code reviews, issue fixes and dependency updates.
• Templates: Air Teams shipped with 10 Automation templates, including code review, bug fixes, dependency upgrades and documentation maintenance.
• Cloud tasks: tasks ran in parallel in shared cloud environments and could be started and followed from the IDE or the browser, with phone support planned.
• Projects: tied the parts together with shared credits, clear roles and Automations that did not depend on one person.

What it meant for builders

Teams on JetBrains business plans could run recurring agent jobs, such as code review and dependency updates, in the cloud without tying up developers' laptops. Because Automations did not depend on one person, that work belonged to the team's shared Project, which carried the credits and roles.

Availability

Air Teams was available to JetBrains business customers at launch. JetBrains planned to expand access to individual customers after the launch.
