  • Do you want an AI tutor to explain concepts and learn? Askcodi, Claude, and Bing aim to converse naturally about coding.
  • For an AI to write complete code from scratch, look to Codex and CodeWhisperer. But output may need review.
  • Prefer a coding sidekick you can interact with? Claude, ChatSonic and Bard offer conversational ability.

The ideal option also depends on the languages and environments you use. Experiment to see which coding AI matches your workflow and needs best. The technology is still evolving rapidly.

The Future of AI Coding Assistants

ChatGPT ignited intense interest in AI for coding. While the current options have limitations, rapid progress is being made. As researchers address fundamental challenges like logical reasoning and generalization, the capabilities of AI coding assistants will grow.

In the future, we may see AI that can develop full applications from conceptual prompts. It could enable new interfaces like coding in natural language for common programming tasks. The concerns around authenticity and licensing will need to be addressed too.

Exciting times lie ahead as AI transforms how software is built. With the right expectations and ethics around its use, AI coders look set to become potent allies rather than job-stealing competitors for human programmers. The key will be combining their complementary strengths for innovation that serves society.
