Distinguish a chat that suggests code from an editor that changes files or an agent that works in a repository. Check which files it can access, how changes are shown and how to undo them.
Read generated code and verify dependencies and test results. A working-looking example may not fit the whole project. Before sharing private code, inspect data settings, access scope and plan limits.
Can I use it without knowing how to code? Explanations and examples can help with learning; they do not establish that generated code is correct. Break unfamiliar changes into small, testable steps.
Will it deploy the project itself? Writing code, running commands and deploying to production are separate permissions. Check the product's access controls and set up a review step before publication.
This comparison is based on published official documentation. It is not a hands-on test or a quality ranking. Unknown features are not treated as verified.
