Things to consider

The several factors needs to be considered when using apex einstein gpt code for your salesforce application.
  • Einstein Apex GPT will only generate boilerplate code. The developers must still validate and modify it to align with their organizations coding standards and salesforce best practices.
  • Code generation is limited to the development environment, and migration to production should follow Salesforce's deployment process.
  • At the time of writing this article, only Apex code can be generated, but Salesforce may expand this feature to include Lightning Web Components (LWC), Aura, Visualforce pages, and more in the future.
