Coding use cases for AI bots
Coding bots work in your repository and terminal next to you. These use cases triage bug reports into fix plans, review pull requests, reproduce bugs in a sandbox and draft a patch, keep long-running coding agents on track, and write tests and docs. Many start from an event, such as a new issue or a failed build, and most use GitHub and a terminal.
