Overview

Xcode completes code as you type, answers questions about your project and can make changes across files. You choose the model, including frontier models from several providers.

Agents can work through longer tasks, like localizing your app, while you keep the decisions that matter. You can extend them with your own tools through the Model Context Protocol.
