GitHub Copilot introduced most developers to AI coding and remains the default choice inside big organizations. It ships in VS Code, JetBrains and directly on GitHub as Copilot Workspace and PR reviews. Not as aggressive as Cursor's agent, but its enterprise controls, seat pricing and Microsoft-backed compliance story make it the safest team pick.

Replit combines a browser IDE, hosting and an AI agent into one product. The Agent can scaffold apps, add features and deploy them without leaving the browser. Popular in education and with hobbyist builders because everything — code, database, hosting — lives in one place.
