Use of GitHub Copilot introduced 41% more bugs, according to a study from Uplevel .

The study measured pull request (PR) cycle time, or the time to merge code into a repository, and PR throughput, the number of pull requests merged.

It found no significant productivity gains for developers using Copilot .

Coding assistants can be used to quickly sub out code or optimize code paths by reworking segments of code, says Travis Rehl .

Innovative Solutions , a cloud services provider, is seeing significant productivity gains using coding assistants like Claude Dev and GitHub Copilot .

Rehl says some of the hype about coding assistants is unrealistic.
