Quickstart for organizations enrolled in the partnership program

To get started with JetBrains Central Console in your organization within the partnership program, the organization administrator needs to enable AI for users within the organization. Once the organization-level configuration is done, users with AI access in the organization can run various AI-powered tools managed through JetBrains Central Console.

Enable AI in your organization

Log in to your organization's dedicated instance created for the partnership program. The URL should be in the following format: console.jetbrains.cloud/org/<organization-UUID>.
<organization-UUID> is the organization's unique identifier created specifically for the partnership program.
Read and accept the Terms and Conditions.
Assign All Products Pack (APP) licenses to all users who will be a part of the partnership program.
For more information, see Assigning licenses to users.
Enable AI for the organization or individual users.
For more information, see Enable AI.

After completing the previous steps, users in your organization will be able to use AI-powered tools.

AI-powered tools

Once the administrator has configured AI for your organization through JetBrains Central Console, users with AI access can start using various AI tools.

JetBrains Central CLI

JetBrains Central CLI is a command-line tool that lets users proxy supported AI coding agents through JetBrains Central. Your users with AI access will not need to authenticate through agent vendors directly to run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and other agents. JetBrains Central will handle the authentication, usage, and billing.

For information, see JetBrains Central CLI documentation.

JetBrains Air

JetBrains Air is an agentic development environment (ADE) where you delegate coding tasks to AI agents and stay in control of the workflow.

See JetBrains Air documentation.

You can run JetBrains Air either as a desktop or a web application.

JetBrains Air desktop app

JetBrains Air desktop app can work with your local codebase and run tasks in the cloud.

Download and install the latest EAP version of JetBrains Air.
EAP builds for macOS are available both through air.dev and the JetBrains Toolbox App.
Windows and Linux builds are available only through the JetBrains Toolbox app.
Log in with the account that belongs to the organization enrolled in the partnership program.

JetBrains Air web app

The web app requires giving it access to your repositories in a VCS hosting provider, and it will run tasks in dedicated cloud environments.

In your browser, go to https://air.jetbrains.cloud
Log in with the account that belongs to the organization enrolled in the partnership program.
Set up access to the repository you want to work on with cloud agents, hosted in GitHub, GitLab, or Bitbucket:
- For personal repositories, follow the instructions on how to connect a repository.
- For organization repositories, follow the instructions on how to set up organization repository access.

AI in JetBrains IDEs

AI in JetBrains IDEs includes a range of capabilities provided by the AI Assistant plugin. It integrates multiple coding agents out of the box and enables connecting any ACP-compatible AI agent to the IDE. Besides, it includes AI-powered assistance, such as smart in-editor code completion and next edit suggestions, context-aware actions that explain and refactor code, detect issues, generate documentation and commit messages, and much more.

See AI Assistant documentation.

Users with AI access in your organization can connect it through JetBrains Central by completing the following instructions.

Install and configure AI Assistant

Download the latest EAP version of your IDE or install it through JetBrains Toolbox.
After installing the IDE, open it and install AI Assistant.
Restart the IDE.
Once the IDE restarts, access its registry by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A and typing Registry.
In the registry editor, press Ctrl+F, search for the llm.jcp.provisioning.enabled key, and enable it.
Restart the IDE.

Proceed to activate JetBrains AI and JetBrains Central.

Activate JetBrains AI

Press Ctrl+, to open the IDE settings.
Navigate to Tools | AI Assistant | Providers & API Keys.
If you're already logged in to JetBrains AI with another organization, click Log out.
Under JetBrains AI, click Activate JetBrains AI.
This opens the starting screen in the AI Chat tool window.
Follow the instructions on how to activate AI Assistant with a JetBrains AI subscription.

Activate JetBrains Central

Press Ctrl+, to open the IDE settings.
Navigate to Tools | AI Assistant | Providers & API Keys.
Under JetBrains Central, click Activate JetBrains Central.
This opens a browser window to complete the authentication process. Once done, you can return to the IDE.
In the Workspace dropdown, select your organization enrolled in the partnership program.

Enable cloud agents

To offload long-running or resource-heavy work to the cloud while continuing your work in the IDE, enable running agent tasks remotely through JetBrains Central. The agent will run in an isolated cloud environment and produce the results in a separate branch.

Access your IDE's registry by pressing Ctrl+Shift+A and typing Registry.
In the registry editor, press Ctrl+F, search for the llm.jcp.agents.enabled key, and enable it.
Restart the IDE.

After restarting, cloud agents should appear in the list of agents in AI Chat.

Select one of the cloud agents. If you haven't already logged in to JetBrains Central, AI Assistant will prompt you to do so.

Submit your request to run an agent. It may also ask you to authorize the JetBrains Central GitHub App.

After completing its work, the agent provides a Merge button for you to merge the changes it created.

Check provisioned JetBrains Central settings in the IDE

After completing the installation, configuration, and login steps, you can check whether the settings configured in JetBrains Central Console have been successfully propagated to the IDE.

Follow the steps to access JVM options and add the following option:
-Didea.is.internal=true
Restart the IDE.
Press Ctrl+Shift+A to open the search everywhere window and look for AI Assistant UI Test.
Scroll down to JCP Provisioned settings. It should display the settings propagated from JetBrains Central Console.
