The gold standard for AI code completion, used by over 1.3 million developers worldwide. GitHub Copilot plugs directly into VS Code, JetBrains, Neovim, and most other popular IDEs — feeling like a natural extension of your editor rather than a separate tool. It doesn't just complete lines; it suggests entire functions, classes, and test suites based on your comments and surrounding code.

Built on OpenAI Codex and trained on billions of lines of public code, it's the most battle-tested AI coding tool available.

The AI-first code editor that has taken the developer world by storm — and for good reason. Cursor is built on VS Code so it feels instantly familiar, but it adds a layer of AI that understands your entire codebase, not just the file you have open.
