But using GitHub Copilot or Cursor.AI to ask technical questions and get debugging help could be just the beginning. AI coding may one day involve agents that can write the programs themselves based on a natural language prompt. Such programs may even replace human engineers. AI coding startups that can generate code from a natural language prompt include Replit and Bubble, among many others. Eventually, some
