This Gorilla Logic white paper presents an experiment comparing GitHub Copilot and Amazon CodeWhisperer to assess AI coding assistants’ impact on development. Both tools proved highly useful across backend coding, CI/CD, testing, and frontend work. Copilot’s chat interface stood out, boosting usability. Developers noted productivity gains, faster task completion, and higher job satisfaction, though results depended on training and prompt skills. However, the tools often generated buggy or insecure code, making developer expertise essential. Overall, AI coding assistants accelerate delivery, but success hinges on proper training, prompt engineering, and careful validation.
