The practice of using AI tools — copilots, agents, and code assistants — to augment software development workflows.

AI-assisted development refers to the use of AI-powered tools throughout the software development lifecycle, from code generation and review to debugging and architecture decisions. It spans a spectrum from inline autocomplete (GitHub Copilot) to fully agentic workflows (Claude Code, Cursor) where AI operates autonomously on complex tasks.
