Air plugin: No response from Gemini models due to missing JetBrains AI connection

Problem

No response is received when using Gemini 3.7 Flash in the Air plugin. When switching to Gemini 3.8, the “Preparing the agency…” message is displayed indefinitely and the plugin fails to progress.

Cause

Air is not connected to the JetBrains AI account. Log files indicate that no connection to JetBrains AI is detected on IDE startup, resulting in the models failing to respond to prompts.

Resolution

Restarting the IDE establishes the connection to JetBrains AI, resolving the issue.
