AI coding assistants have evolved far beyond simple autocompletion. Tools like GitHub Copilot in Visual Studio Code now offer capabilities such as searching your workspace, executing terminal commands, and running builds or tests directly within the editor. In my experience, Copilot is particularly effective at identifying build systems and executing tests across various languages — including Python, Scala, Kotlin, and C++. When prompted to apply small code changes, its suggestions are often highly relevant and context-aware.
