I found it very useful running a TDD workflow the other day. It created a test plan, generated tests, documented them, implemented and modified existing code, and added structured logging. It also identified really good refactor candidates and explained them to me after I noted a core design issue in the code we were modifying. This wasn't autonomous: I spent some time correcting it and sending it in new directions. Still, it was a pretty nice feeling to not have to go manually configure Logback (it one shotted a nice basic config), not have to write a bunch of repetitive test setup code, etc. It even pulled in a newer JUnit feature that I didn't know about that was perfect for what I was doing. Definitely not the silver bullet a lot of people are trying to sell, but still a very powerful tool.
