Over the past months, I’ve tried different AI coding assistants to make my life easier as a programmer.
There are many tools out there but none of them is perfect. One might be more convenient if you’re learning to code, while another might be better if you want to test your code.
Here are the best AI coding assistants I found.
GitHub’s AI tool is a game-changer for real-time code writing. What’s cool about it is that it offers an interaction style similar to ChatGPT, but it’s focused on coding. Plus, it has the ability to keep building out a program you’re working on in the editor.
One feature that really stands out to me is the chat function. You can literally quiz it about constructing functions or clear up any doubts about specific bits of your code. It’s like having a coding guru on standby, ready to jump in with insights or solutions.

Another thing I really like is that Copilot doesn’t just stop after giving a response. It keeps the ball rolling, offering up possible questions I might want to ask next or things to consider. It’s like having an ongoing conversation with your code.
Plus, there’s this feature that lets you move the suggested code into your editor. This creates a seamless flow, letting you bounce between the chat and the editor.
For those who love to multitask within the editor, you can get the Copilot chat by pressing Ctrl + i.
