AI Coding Agents

AI pair programmers, agents, and editors that ship code.

The models keep changing; the form factor is what you're actually choosing. An editor that completes as you type, a terminal agent that edits files and commits, or an extension inside the editor you already use running on your own API key — those are three different working habits. Switching costs are low, so try the shape before arguing about the model.

Editor's pick

Aider if you want to see exactly what changed. It works in the terminal against your repo and commits each edit, so reviewing the agent is just reading the diff.
