Xcode, agents, and you

A Podkey summary of Xcode, agents, and you, from WWDC 2026.This one is really about Xcode turning AI help from a chat window into something that feels built into the actual development loop. The big themes are project-wide understanding, tighter control over planning and edits, and a surprisingly practical system for checking its own work with docs, builds, tests, previews, and even localization and accessibility tasks running in parallel. What stands out is how much of this is about reducing the annoying parts of software work: getting oriented in a strange codebase, keeping documentation current, and making sure generated code doesn’t just look clever for five seconds and then fail to compile.Getting oriented in a real codebasePlanning before the code starts flyingKeeping recommendations currentSeeing the work clearlyMore precise edits with annotationsFrom sketch to chart preview fastParallel help for localization and accessibilityA knowledge base that lives with the codeBuild, test, and self-correctThis podcast was created with Podkey.
