My company is evaluating which coding assistant license we should procure. Most of our development work is on Snowflake, but we don’t want to rely primarily on CoCo because the client is unlikely to agree to cover CoCo consumption costs.
Our plan is to use CoCo only for Cortex Agent/Analyst-related use cases and occasional tasks such as understanding column or table metadata—so overall usage would be minimal. For day-to-day coding and development, we’d prefer to use a different coding assistant.
Given this setup, which coding assistant would you recommend?

I also what to eventually be able to automate/ease repetitive tasks using skills or some other features

Give me your stories and recommendations please!
