# AI Coding Agents

> 7 curated AI tools and resources. Canonical page: https://ai-know.org/coding-tools/

Guide to AI (ai-know.org) is a free, bilingual (English and Hebrew) knowledge base about artificial intelligence: explained concepts, curated tools, a daily news digest and a browser-side token calculator. It is a static site — no account, no tracking, no paywall.

## Tools

- [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) — Anthropic: Claude Code is Anthropic's agentic coding tool: it works in the terminal, IDEs and the web, reads your codebase, edits files, runs commands and tests, and can complete multi-step engineering tasks autonomously.

Key capabilities:
- Deep codebase understanding without manually selecting context
- Runs shell commands, tests and git workflows end to end
- Extensible with skills, subagents and MCP servers

- [Cursor](https://www.cursor.com/) — Anysphere: Cursor is an AI-powered code editor designed to enhance developer productivity. It integrates seamlessly with your codebase, predicts your next edits, and allows you to write and update code using natural language instructions — including a background agent mode for delegating whole tasks.

- [Windsurf](https://windsurf.com/) — Windsurf: Windsurf is an agentic IDE built around Cascade, an AI agent that keeps a live understanding of your project state and can plan and execute multi-file changes, run commands, and preview results while you stay in flow.

- [GitHub Copilot](https://github.com/features/copilot) — GitHub: GitHub Copilot is GitHub's AI pair programmer: inline completions, chat, and an autonomous coding agent that can take a GitHub issue, work in a cloud environment, and open a pull request. It supports multiple frontier models and integrates across major IDEs and github.com.

- [OpenAI Codex](https://openai.com/codex/) — OpenAI: Codex is OpenAI's software engineering agent. It runs tasks in parallel sandboxed environments or locally via the Codex CLI — writing features, fixing bugs, answering codebase questions and proposing pull requests for review.

- [Gemini CLI](https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli) — Google: Gemini CLI is Google's open-source terminal AI agent powered by Gemini. It brings a large context window, built-in web grounding and MCP support to the command line, with generous free usage for individual developers.

- [Continue](https://www.continue.dev/) — Continue, Inc.: Continue is an open-source AI code assistant that enhances developer productivity by providing custom autocomplete and chat experiences within the IDE. It supports integration with various models and contexts, allowing developers to remain in flow while coding and accelerating development with a plug-and-play system.
