What is changing across AI coding agents?
Since June 2026, a Copilot seat buys a share of a pooled AI credit allowance, and agent work and code review are priced by model and tokens. Usage runs past the pool by default until you set hard limits.
Claude Code leads coding agent use at work, and frontier models now finish multi-hour tasks on their own. What your team can hand an agent comes down to how much output your reviewers can check and which permissions the agent runs with.

Engineer time spent reviewing and reworking agent output costs more than the seat. Add metered usage and automated review to the seat price, then reviewer hours, and divide by the changes that merged.
