AI Actions missing from the editor context menu after switching to the Air plugin

Problem

After a switch from AI Assistant to JetBrains Air in IDEs, AI Actions is missing from the editor context menu. Other AI Assistant features are also missing, such as the AI Chat tool window and Generate Commit Message in the Commit tool window.

Cause

AI Actions is a feature of the AI Assistant plugin, not of Air. If Air is installed from the notification in AI Assistant, the IDE disables AI Assistant so that the two plugins do not run side by side.

Resolution

Air and AI Assistant can be used together. To enable AI Assistant again:

1. Open the Agent Sessions tool window.
2. Click the three-dots icon and select Open AI Assistant.
3. Confirm the action. Air stays installed.

AI Assistant can also be enabled in Settings | Plugins. If the plugin is already enabled but its features are still missing, restart the IDE.

If AI Assistant is enabled and AI Actions is still missing while a third-party provider (OpenAI-compatible or LM Studio) is the only activation method, see Context actions: No "AI actions" menu when using self-hosted LLM or OpenAI-compatible.
