The gap between an assistant inside your editor and an agent that edits the repository on its own is what explains the spread from twenty dollars to two hundred. The filter splits them outright.
Environment and hosting in the browser, nothing installed
Builds the app and publishes it to a live address straight away, with no environment or server to set up
Agent finishes the task itself · Deploys the result itself · No coding required · Reads the whole repository · Phone app
An agent takes a ticket and brings back a pull request
Works as a performer rather than a prompt: it takes the ticket, runs the tests itself and comes back with a pull request
Agent finishes the task itself · Reads the whole repository · Deploys the result itself · Has an API · Single sign-on
An editor that sees the whole project
Indexes the entire repository, so changing one function accounts for where it is called rather than only the open file
Lives inside the editor · Agent finishes the task itself · Reads the whole repository · Single sign-on · Data excluded from training
An app from a description, with real code at the end
Hands the result over as an ordinary GitHub repository, so the project can leave for a developer instead of being locked into the platform
Agent finishes the task itself · No coding required · Deploys the result itself · Single sign-on · Allowance expires and does not renew
