What it does
AI coding assistant inside editors and GitHub: code completions, chat, code review, and cloud coding agents across your repos.
Strong fit
Teams already on GitHub/VS Code who want completions, chat, and agentic code review woven into their existing repos and pull-request workflow.
Poor fit
Non-coders wanting to build whole apps without an IDE, or orgs that avoid GitHub/Microsoft tooling; it assists coding rather than replacing it.
Limitations
Requires an editor/GitHub workflow; free tier caps completions and chat; premium models consume monthly credits; suggestion quality still needs developer review.
