🌐 Chrome DevTools Connect comes to JetBrains Air in your IDEs in 2026.3: coding agents can now use Chrome to test and debug your web app.
It's bundled in @WebStormIDE and works out of the box. In other JetBrains IDEs with JavaScript support, get it from Marketplace.
How it works and how to use it 👇🧵
🔐 To use your own Chrome session, e.g. for a page behind a login:
1. Open chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging and allow connections
2. Ask the agent to connect
3. Click Allow in Chrome ✅
Chrome asks on every connection and shows a banner while the agent is attached.

🔌 Don't need it? Disable the plugin in Settings | Plugins, or uninstall it if you got it from Marketplace.
We're working on more browser related stuff, so this is not the last one for sure 🙌 Any feedback is really appreciated! Stay tuned!

Aaaaaand... here we go! 🎉 Give it a try and share your feedback!
I’ll post a thread soon about the Chrome DevTools Connect plugin, which shipped as a part of this release 🧑🍳✍️
WebStorm 2026.3 is out!🚀
Building web apps with AI agents? This release tightens the entire design-to-production loop.
WebStorm now bundles JetBrains Air, giving you a dedicated workspace to bring your own agents, run them side by side, and review every change before it ships.
You and your agents can work from your Figma designs and Storybook components, and then verify the output in a live browser.

I've been working on the engineering behind Figma Connect for the past few months 🏗️. The idea for the first release was simple: no manual copying of screenshots or links and easy access from the IDE.
So glad it's finally public 🎉! This is just the first step toward improving the design-to-code workflow in WebStorm, and there's more to come 👨🍳.
Any feedback is really appreciated, so don't hesitate to reach out!
Figma Connect for WebStorm is now available. Set it up once, and enjoy a seamless IDE integration maintained with every WebStorm release.
Select any layer from your @Figma file, get the full design spec in your IDE, and pass it straight to your AI agent: component hierarchy, spacing, and design variables – all from the source.
Your agent implements from the actual spec instead of approximating your design system.
This is the first stage of a visual design-to-code workflow in @WebStormIDE. There’s more to come. Check it out: jetbrains.blog/0mh0x0

Coding agents shouldn't have to rediscover your codebase for every task.
JetBrains Context gives them code context to improve outcomes and cut costs on production-scale codebases.
Available now in early access as part of the JetBrains AI for Teams and Organizations rollout.

Junie is out of Beta! 🚀
The JetBrains AI coding agent plans, debugs with IDE tools, and runs long tasks while you're AFK.
It’s among the top coding agents on SWE-Rebench, and it uses any model you choose. 💎 Use a frontier model for planning and a cheap one for implementation.
