Gas Town seems like a more confusing/expensive alternative to GitHub Copilot Agents. https://github.com/copilot/agents

Go to the URL, type what you want done, and a cloud Claude agent creates a PR. $10/month.

try the tools. Really. If you are remotely interested in tech or AI, try the tools Copilot this is not. You may be trolling of course. There are huge steps between these various tools, if you try them, for a smidge of investment, it will become obvious what the trajectory is.

It is like saying "I don't handwrite anything, I care too much about line spacing, I only use a dot matrix printer" when some one is trying to sell you a calligraphy pen and coloured inks, and you have only tried a ballpoint pen. You might be the wrong market, but they are not even close in use case and application.

I'm not trolling. I'm just not aware of major differences between them.

When I make a change with a Copilot Agent, it checks for issues, builds my project, runs tests, and iterates until things work. Multiple agents can do that in parallel.

My impression was that this does more or less the same thing.

That said, I'm definitely open to learning more about them both.

What are the advantages of this in your experience?

In your post history you say you have never programmed. Why are you so sure it produces code of value?

This is so prohibitively expensive in its wastefulness that blithely telling strangers to try the tools likely means you either haven't tried it, or have money to burn.
