GitHub Copilot: AI Writes Code

GitHub launched Copilot as a technical preview — an AI pair programmer powered by OpenAI Codex that could autocomplete entire functions, write boilerplate, and suggest code from natural language comments. It was trained on billions of lines of public code.

AI Coding Agents Transform Software Development

AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot's agentic workflows, and OpenClaw-linked remote coding loops pushed beyond autocomplete into delegated engineering work. These systems could inspect repositories, run tests, edit files, use terminals and browsers, and iterate on tasks over multiple turns.
