Copilot, Cursor, and Windsurf get most of the attention, but they're not the only options. The AI coding assistant space is crowded, and some of the alternatives solve specific problems better than the headline tools — or fit better into workflows the big three don't prioritise.
This lesson is your map of the wider landscape. We won't go as deep on each tool (entire courses could be written about some of them), but you'll know what exists, what it's good for, and whether it's worth your time.
This lesson is part of AI Coding Assistants — a paid course (NZ$39.00). Enrol to unlock the full lesson, audio, and completion tracking.
