JetBrains announced on October 22, 2026, that Air Governance is now generally available (source). This product, previously called JetBrains Central, is the organization-level layer of the JetBrains Air platform, which is focused on agentic development workflows.
Key capabilities of Air Governance include:
- A single centralized interface to select and oversee which AI agents, models, and third-party providers your teams can access.
- Control over spend: set usage limits and view detailed costs associated with AI usage across the organization.
- Visibility into organizational impact: monitor not only expenditures but also what your teams achieve with AI tools.
This means if you’re working in a team that builds or relies on AI agents and want guardrails around which tools can be used, how much budget is spent, and what business value those tools provide, Air Governance can centralize and simplify that work. If you manage access, you’ll configure who can use which agents and models, and set rules so costs do not run unchecked. To adopt, you should plan to integrate this layer to keep organizational oversight tight as your AI adoption grows.
