GitHub Copilot becomes available in JetBrains Air via Agent Client Protocol
GitHub published this on Nov 3, 2026 (source: github.blog).
GitHub’s changelog says GitHub Copilot is now available inside JetBrains Air. Users can pick Copilot in Air’s agent picker with an existing Copilot subscription, run parallel agent sessions with IDE/project context, review changes in place, and launch cloud tasks on fresh VMs through Air Teams (IDE or browser) that bill the Copilot plan rather than JetBrains AI credits. The integration uses the Agent Client Protocol (ACP); cloud tasks run in sandboxed Docker VMs with no state between jobs. Air admins can disable Copilot via governance policy but cannot set Copilot spend limits inside Air.
