It's something that literally exists as a first-party plugin for VSCode. The Copilot Chat extension has an Agent mode for vibe coding for half the price of Cursor.
Cursor has cursor agent.
Copilot has Copilot coding agent too (as distinct from Agent mode in Copilot Chat. Yes, they're different things and yes, I had to look up what the difference was)
Is copilot agent consume based or flat priced?
With the base $10 sub you get an allowance of "premium requests" per month and I think you can pay for more over that limit, but I haven't looked too closely at the pricing because I don't use the agent myself because I can't use it with my work repos.
