No, they are separate and do not integrate right now. Copilot CLI is a terminal tool you run via gh copilot to get suggestions and explanations from your shell. It is not designed to plug into IDE toolbars or UI components. The JetBrains AI Agents toolbar is part of JetBrains’ own AI Assistant ecosystem and only surfaces their native agents, not third party tools like Copilot CLI. Inside JetBrains IDEs, you can use the GitHub Copilot plugin for inline completions and chat. For CLI features, you still need to use the integrated terminal. |

The Copilot CLI and the JetBrains AI Agents toolbar are separate things, and they do not connect to each other right now.
Copilot CLI (
gh copilot) is a terminal tool -- aghCLI extension that lets you rungh copilot suggestandgh copilot explaincommands from your shell. It is not designed to integrate with IDE toolbars or UI panels of any IDE.JetBrains AI Agents toolbar is part of JetBrains' own AI platform (their AI Assistant product). It surfaces agents and AI actions within the IDE's own UI framework, separate from third-party plugins.
What you can actually use inside JetBrains IDEs is the GitHub Copilot plugin, which gives you Copilot chat and code completions directly in the IDE.…
