Why do people look for a GPT Pilot alternative?

This repository is no longer actively maintained. Malicious code (a supply-chain credential-stealer worm) was found in the repository and has been removed; code cloned and run from source between August 2025 and 11 June 2026 may have been compromised. To be fair to GPT Pilot: builds full apps rather than just autocompleting or generating snippets; can write most of an app's code (~95%) while the developer oversees the rest. If that's what matters most to you, it may still be the right call.
