Is there an application or authoring tool that goes with the Adobe AIR application runtime?
There is no specific development tool for building Adobe AIR applications. Web developers can use the IDE of their choice, including Adobe tools such as Eclipse™ based Flex Builder, Flash, and Dreamweaver, to build Adobe AIR applications. The free Adobe AIR SDK provides a set of command line tools for packaging Adobe AIR applications. This can be used with any text editor to build and deploy an AIR application.
