DevSwarm is an AI-powered IDE (built on VS Code) that lets you deploy multiple AI agents to code in parallel branches, ideal for experimenting with features or refactors.

Is DevSwarm better than Copilot?

For quick autocompletes, Copilot wins. For parallel exploration on bigger tasks, DevSwarm crushes it—fewer iteration loops, isolated experiments.

Does DevSwarm work for large projects?

Yes, but shines on modular refactors. Full monorepos might need tuning; it's VS Code-based, so scales with your Git setup.
