🛠️ Have you been using any of the new agentic tools in Xcode 26.3? What have you been using it for, and how has it fared?
I'm curious to hear everybody else's stories, rather than just talk about mine all the time

@stroughtonsmith Phenomenal at business logic. Knows a lot of arcane API that would take me hours of research to discover. Surprisingly good at AppIntents. Absolutely terrible at SwiftUI.
@clarko @stroughtonsmith I have been telling my bots “do not style anything, I’ll do that” and they results are great, then I fine tune myself. But I do the same for anything else, I hear stories of people having success (like Ghostty with a low-bar ui)
@stroughtonsmith used it for a couple of ugly bugs, seemed to do slightly better than the same bugs from the command line - so tool access was nice.
Feels less proactive “here is what is wrong, want me to fix it?” Command line knows you want the fix.
I was hoping an Apple-level breakthrough on UI, this ain’t it (and neither is the codex app UI).
So the console remains the best so far - on all fronts (codex, Claude and pi)
@Migueldeicaza @stroughtonsmith Staggered there’s been no advances in the UI. Why am I arguing with a robot about their code in a global chat window? Feels like reviewing someone’s pull request over iMessage.
