WebStorm 2026.2 is out!
Large TypeScript codebase? This release has your back.
TS 7 ships out of the box, no migration needed. We tested it on Kibana, and project load time went from ~12s to ~3s.
What’s more, GitHub Copilot is now natively integrated (no plugin setup required), and the new agent skills manager lets your AI agents carry knowledge of your stack across every project and session.
Check out the new version to discover all the updates: jb.gg/vz7c4w
An IDE was never just a fancy typing app.
Here’s why that matters even more now 📹👇
An agent writes the code now. Do you still need an IDE?
You do if you want to understand and verify what the agent did.
🎥 In our new video, we talk about the role of an IDE now that humans aren't the only ones working on the code. youtu.be/AHFGMkzrfwM
Building for web or mobile with AI agents?
Join us, @callstackio, and @expo next Thursday at our Amsterdam office for 3 talks on taking agent-built apps from design to production.
Free entry, pizza included, and a few spots left: luma.com/i8wkxgyg
Will we still have a job in five years? On Nov 13, JetBrains AI.js Day puts frontend's scariest AI questions on air, live, online, and free.
Kent C. Dodds, Marina Wyss, Danny Thompson, and more.

JetBrains Air is now available in WebStorm 2026.3 EAP 5, bringing agentic development closer to the IDE, with your choice of coding agents, support for parallel workflows, and IDE-native review and verification.
⌘2 on macOS / Alt+2 on Windows and Linux will open the Agent Session tool window instead of Bookmarks. Ctrl+Ctrl on any platform will open a quick input window instead of Run Anything.
