GitHub Copilot becomes an agent inside JetBrains Air
GitHub says Copilot is now available in JetBrains Air through the Agent Client Protocol. You can run local tasks in a JetBrains IDE or cloud tasks through Air Teams, billed to your existing Copilot subscription rather than JetBrains AI credits. Cloud tasks run in a Docker container on a fresh virtual machine, with traffic through a proxy and no state carried between tasks. Air administrators can disable Copilot by policy, but cannot set Copilot spend limits inside Air.
Why it matters: JetBrains shops that already buy Copilot can try Air agents without a second AI credit pool. Check that your Air admin has Copilot enabled, and set spend controls on the GitHub side.
