AI coding agents

Coding agents help developers write, understand and change code. They range from suggestions and chat in your editor to terminal agents and autonomous agents that work through tasks and propose changes for review.

Kinds of coding agents

Most tools fall into one of these groups.

  • Editor assistants: suggestions, chat and edits inside your IDE
  • Terminal and CLI agents: run commands, edit files and work through tasks from the command line
  • Autonomous and cloud agents: take an issue, work in a sandbox and open a pull request
  • App builders: generate full web apps from a description

What coding agents are good at

They're strongest on well-scoped work.

  • Explaining unfamiliar code
  • Writing tests and boilerplate
  • Refactors and migrations
  • Fixing well-described bugs
  • Prototyping features quickly

Using coding agents safely

Treat agent output like any other contribution.

  • Review every change like a pull request from a colleague
  • Run tests and keep CI checks
  • Limit access to secrets and production systems
  • Check licensing and security of generated code

Choosing for a team

Consider which editors your team uses, how the agent handles your codebase size, data retention and privacy terms, and how pricing scales with seats or usage.

Frequently asked questions

Can AI coding agents build a whole app?

App builders can generate working prototypes. Production software still needs review, testing and engineering judgment.

Is my code used for training?

It varies by product and plan. Check the privacy terms; many business plans exclude your code from training.
