AI coding agents can read your code, reason about changes, and act on your behalf. To choose the right one, it helps to understand the four common workflow types: integrated development environment (IDE), terminal, pull request (PR), and cloud.
In this video course, you’ll:
- Identify the four common agent interaction modes
- Understand what makes each workflow distinct
- Recognize which mode fits common development scenarios
- Weigh the risks and tradeoffs of each workflow
Whether you’re pairing with an agent in your editor or handing off whole tasks to the cloud, you’ll come away knowing how much control each workflow gives you and where it’s most likely to trip you up.
Codex Live Course: Want hands-on practice with one of these workflows? In Real Python’s Codex for Python Developers live course, you build an entire Python project with Codex, an AI agent that works inside your codebase. The next course runs November 14 and 15!
