Frequently asked questions
How are AI Coding Agents different from AI coding assistants?
Agents take a task and try to complete it across many steps — reading the repo, writing changes, running tests, and iterating — rather than suggesting one edit at a time. Claude Code, OpenHands, MetaGPT, Plandex, and Sweep are tracked in this category. The assistants in AI Coding keep you approving each change; agents aim to hand back a finished branch or pull request.
How do I choose a coding agent?
Look at where it runs and how much rope it takes. Some agents work in your terminal against a local checkout, others open pull requests from an issue, and they differ sharply in how well they scope a task before charging ahead. Start it on a small, well-defined change and read the diff closely — an agent's judgment on what not to touch matters as much as its raw output. The AI coding tools and LangChain debugging guides give useful context on the surrounding stack.
