Software Development use cases (page 3 of 3)
Coding agents are moving from autocomplete to doing whole tasks: reading a codebase, making a plan and changing many files. This case is a concrete example of where that works in practice. This hub lists all 221 sourced sightings filed under Software Development on Agent Sightings. The most common tools here are Claude Code (37), GitHub Copilot (23), Custom agent (16), ChatGPT (13), Cursor (13). Every line links to the case page, which has the source.
