I have been working with Reuven Cohen’s AiGi SPARC framework recently, and it's an eye-opener into what is possible in fully automated agent-based coding.
It thinks things through ... is methodical (painfully so sometimes) ... is brutally self-critical about its work, even quantifying the code quality/maintainability/performance ... builds test cases, builds test frameworks, executes them, refines code, writes documentation ... and it rinses and repeats until it feels confident that it's creating the best code possible for the task.
I have been running a major refactor for the past few hours, and it's painstakingly restructuring things to make them more scalable and robust.
A hint at what is to come ...

Before that, I was CEO of Nuula (formerly known as BFS Capital), which Nav acquired. At Nuula, we believed there was a better way to help run your small business — so we built it.

It provides small business owners with the tools, content, and capital they need to be successful in a modern, competitive market.
