Coding assistants like GitHub Copilot, Codeium, Cursor, and Replit Ghostwriter are integrated directly into IDEs – or in some cases, are the IDEs.

Autonomous agents or agent environments that can generate and execute code, like Microsoft Magentic-One or Langflow .

Application generation environments like Replit takes this even further, generating full applications from natural language prompts and deploying them with just a few clicks.
