GitHub Copilot is now available in JetBrains Air

GitHub says you can now delegate coding tasks to Copilot, guide their execution and review results inside JetBrains Air. The integration uses the Agent Client Protocol (ACP) and works with tasks in a JetBrains IDE or in the cloud, alongside the existing GitHub Copilot plugin.

• Agent picker: select GitHub Copilot in Air and use your existing Copilot subscription.
• Parallel work: track several agent sessions and review changes next to your code, with project context and IDE tools.
• Cloud tasks: run Copilot in isolated environments through Air Teams, from the IDE or the browser. GitHub says tasks use your Copilot plan, not JetBrains AI credits. Each task runs in a Docker container on a fresh virtual machine, behind a proxy, with no state carried between tasks.
• Requirements for cloud tasks: a JetBrains account in an Air Teams-enabled business organization, a Copilot subscription, and Copilot enabled by the Air administrator.
• Limits GitHub lists: you cannot choose between a personal and an organization Copilot plan per task; Air's governance and analytics do not include Copilot usage; administrators can disable Copilot by policy but cannot set Copilot spending limits in Air; if a subscription or credits are unavailable, the task fails when the environment starts.
