Frequently Asked Questions
What is an AI coding agent?
It is a tool that uses a language model to plan and carry out programming tasks, such as editing several files, running commands and tests, and proposing a pull request, rather than only completing the next line.
What is the difference between an assistant and an agent?
Assistants suggest code as you type; agents take a goal, work through multiple steps and report back. Many tools now offer both modes.
Which agents are open source?
Cline, Aider, OpenCode, Kilo, Gemini CLI and Goose are open-source projects you can run with your own model keys.
How are coding agents evaluated?
Benchmarks such as SWE-bench and Terminal-Bench measure whether agents can resolve issues or complete shell tasks; see the benchmarks page.
Why do some product names redirect?
The market moves quickly: windsurf.com now redirects to Devin Desktop and roocode.com to Roomote, so entries are named after where the links lead today.
