  1. 1

    Get the background

    A quick read before you start, so you know what good looks like.

  2. 2

    Code with AI

    AI coding assistants autocomplete, refactor and even complete tasks.

    After this step: Code written faster with AI help.

    Code & Development

    Cursor

    AI-powered code editor with agents, autocomplete, codebase search, debugging, cloud agents and multiple AI models.

    Freemium · Free

    Is it right for me?

    Best for: Developers who want AI coding assistance, codebase awareness, model choice and Agent workflows inside an editor

    Consider another option if: Users wanting the fastest autonomous vibe-coding experience or a complete replacement for an independent software engineer

    Code & Development

    GitHub Copilot

    AI-powered code completion, chat, agents and code review built into GitHub and popular development environments.

    Freemium · $10/mo

    Is it right for me?

    Best for: Developers already using GitHub, writing and completing code inside an IDE, explaining unfamiliar code, debugging and refactoring, generating tests and documentation, reviewing pull requests, delegating contained development tasks to coding agents, and teams wanting centralised AI policies and governance.

    Consider another option if: Non-developers looking for a no-code website builder, people needing guaranteed correct or secure code, developers who do not use supported editors or GitHub workflows, organisations unwilling to send relevant prompts and code context to an external AI service, users wanting unlimited advanced-agent usage on the free plan, and people expecting AI to replace code review, testing or architectural judgement.

    Code & Development

    Devin

    An autonomous AI developer for delegating coding tasks, creating pull requests and managing local or cloud coding agents.

    Freemium · $20/month

    Is it right for me?

    Best for: Delegating contained software-development tasks Building features across multiple files Fixing bugs and failing tests Code migrations and repetitive refactoring Creating and reviewing pull requests Running multiple development tasks in parallel Teams using GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps Developers wanting both local and cloud agents Organisations automating ticket-based development workflows Managing coding agents from a desktop environment

    Consider another option if: Anyone expecting faultless code without human review Completely non-technical users building production software Small tasks that are faster to complete manually Projects without clear requirements or success criteria Security-critical work without proper testing and review Users wanting predictable flat-rate usage with no quotas Organisations unable to permit an AI agent access to repositories and development environments

  3. 3

    Understand and generate

    Explain unfamiliar code and generate starting points.

    After this step: Code you understand, written faster.

    Code & Development

    AI Code Generator

    Generate production-ready code in JavaScript, Python, TypeScript, React and more.

  4. 4

    Check before you ship

    Catch common issues and handle the utilities.

    After this step: Safer code ready to deploy.

    Code & Development

    PHP Security Scanner

    Check if a website or PHP version is affected by PHP2Shell — the critical CVE-2026-109618 & CVE-2026-109619 remote code execution flaws. Passive scan + patch guidance.
