AI coding assistant
Goatfied vs GitHub Copilot: agents that finish the job.
Copilot lives inside the editors and the code host you already use. Goatfied is a full editor with cloud agents that validate their changes, and a command center for the rest of the business.
01Where Goatfied is different
What you get beyond GitHub Copilot.
GitHub Copilot: GitHub Copilot is an AI coding assistant that works inside popular editors and on GitHub.
Agents prove the change before you see it
Cloud agents compile, lint and test their change inside the sandbox, and a failure goes back to the agent to fix rather than to you to debug.
Every cloud run is isolated and capped
Agent work happens in a fresh sandbox with credentials scoped to the repository and a wall-clock limit, so a run that goes wrong cannot touch your machine.
GitHub, Bitbucket and Azure DevOps
Cloud agents clone and open pull requests on all three, and can be triggered by review comments, failed workflows or a Slack reaction.
It shows the feature working
Agents can drive a real browser against the app they changed and attach the recording to the run.
It remembers your repository
What a run learns about a codebase — how it builds, where tests live — is written down and loaded by the next run.
One platform instead of one more tool
The same workspace also runs your team chat, design studio, dashboards, business suites and GOATs — AI agents that work for your business. One sign-in, one permission model, one bill.
02Fair is fair

03Switching
Moving over.
- 1.Install Goatfied for macOS, Windows or Linux and import your editor settings.
- 2.Install the GitHub App so cloud agents can work on your repositories.
