This isn't just autocomplete anymore. Agent Mode understands your entire project context — files, issues, terminal state — and acts like a true AI teammate. From creating a Python game, refactoring Terraform IaC, writing unit tests, generating documentation, to visualizing charts from data — you’ll see real-world examples of what’s now possible.
This release marks a new era of coding with AI.
