Overview
Work takes place inside the project, with its files and codebase context, so you can request changes across multiple parts of the same workflow. This is useful for writing API connectors, tests, and bug fixes. An agent's suggestion is not proof that an integration is correct: you still need to check the service documentation, handle error responses, and ensure the code does not perform the same action twice.
Features
- Code-writing assistance within the development environment
- An agent that makes changes in the context of the project
- Tools for reviewing changes and improving development tasks
Business uses
- Build a connector between a business form and a service with an API
- Write tests for code that handles webhooks and duplicate events
Getting started
- Open an isolated working copy of a project and define a small task
- Provide the agent with API documentation and an example that contains no customer details
- Review the changes and run a test against a staging environment before deployment
What to check
- Check code privacy settings and your organization's policy for model use
- Restrict commands and access to secrets so coding assistance does not become an uncontrolled production change
