AI Tooling

Replit

Replit is a cloud-based coding platform that streamlines the process of setting up, building, sharing, and deploying projects. It allows developers to code in a Google Docs-like environment, and pre-built templates provide a great starting point for building a website, app, or game. Its new AI Agent can assist with the code development process and work with several files at once, making the programming process feel like a one-on-one conversation.

Cursor

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that makes the programming experience feel like magic. Built as a fork of VS Code, it boasts powerful features like AI code completion, natural language editing, and codebase understanding. Cursor Pro is free for the first two weeks after signup, and offers more powerful models.

AI Coding Agents

Claude Code

Claude Code is an AI-powered coding assistant that integrates into editors like VS Code, Cursor, and JetBrains. It excels at understanding large codebases, generating code, and assisting with debugging through natural conversation. Unlike AI-powered IDEs, it layers on top of your existing setup rather than replacing it.
