About

Microsoft Visual Studio is the industry-leading integrated development environment (IDE) for building modern applications across desktop, mobile, cloud, and web. It empowers developers to write, refactor, debug, test, and deploy software faster with intelligent assistance powered by GitHub Copilot and AI-driven workflows. With Agent Mode, developers can automate repetitive coding tasks, optimize performance, and receive contextual help directly in the IDE. The suite includes Visual Studio 2022, the comprehensive IDE for .NET and C++ development on Windows, and Visual Studio Code, the lightweight, cross-platform editor supporting JavaScript, Python, and dozens of other languages. Visual Studio integrates seamlessly with Azure, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines, enabling teams to collaborate and ship code efficiently. Trusted by millions worldwide, Visual Studio provides the tools and intelligence developers need to build reliable, scalable, and secure applications from concept to release.

About

bb is a local-first, fully customizable IDE for working with AI coding agents, designed to control, automate, and even modify itself. Almost anything in the environment can be changed with a single prompt: users can add panels, CLI commands, skills, plugins, and workflows that immediately become available to their agents. Many of bb’s own capabilities, including GitHub integration, agent memory, scheduled jobs, and remote access, are built as plugins using the same tools available to users. Its CLI is open to external programs such as shell scripts, cron jobs, or bots in Telegram, Signal, and Slack, allowing them to spawn work threads that remain available in the sidebar. bb supports multiple coding agents, including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Pi, OpenCode, Grok, omp, and Hermes, letting users assign tasks to the best-suited agent or have one agent spawn and manage another in separate threads. Work runs on the user’s own machine and can continue independently until they return.
