AI Coding Agents & Automation

Autonomous coding agents that can plan, execute, and iterate on multi-step development tasks. These tools go beyond suggestions to actively make changes across your codebase.

What are AI Coding Agents?

AI coding agents are tools that can autonomously execute development tasks — reading files, writing code, running tests, and iterating until the job is done. Unlike simple assistants, they have agency to make decisions and take actions.

These tools are powerful for repetitive tasks, large refactors, and handling boilerplate. The tradeoff is less visibility into what's happening and potential for unexpected changes. Understanding when to use agents vs. manual coding is key to effective workflows.
