What AI tools do you use for coding? I am building a list. 📝
I am attempting to observe what you use for coding. I have come across many tools on Product Hunt + Web, but I am fairly certain I have missed quite a bit.
I divided them into "traditional" and "specialised".
Traditional AI models:
DeepSeek
Gemini
ChatGPT
Meta AI
Microsoft Copilot
Perplexity
Specialised:
Code Dev
CodeGeeX
Codeium
Cursor
Databutton
GitHub Copilot
Le Chat
Lovable
PearAI
Pieces
Replit
Trae
UI2Code
V0
Webstorm
Do you know about additional AI tools that help with coding? Or any new upcoming? (The question for those people who are about to launch something.)
+ Why did you choose that tool over others?

I want to preface that I am not a developer, but in any case, from my experience in the AI field I could suggest checking the following:
For traditional AI models:
Anthropic: The 3.5 Sonnet was just a tad better in coding compared with the other models, with the introduction of the new 3.7 Sonnet model, it looks way better than the others...
For specialized models: (still to be tested by me)
Trae
Databutton
UI2Code
Pieces
Webstorm
PearAI
I already used Replit and Windsurf, with mixed results: the main problem with AI for coding is the lack of consistency in maintaining the context.

@luigi_galli1 Thank you :) If possible – I add them to the list (those specialised) :)
I use v0.dev for coding simply because I build the frontend stuff with NextJS since, always :P
I never use a model directly on chatgpt or something like that, i prefer to do it in my environment locally.
I use Github Copilot on VS Code, but I think Cursor is better.
o1 from OpenAI is the best model for coding, insanely good.

@cryptosymposium Thank you! I used V0 as well for some minor things and ChatGPT for explaining the code but Mixing one with another is not the best strategy for me atm :D
cline makes it easier to use MCP servers and for finding new ones to use with your project. I've used it inside Trae but it's available in VS Code as well.
Add in @bolt.new @Codebuff and Augment Code
Also Claude Code launched this week.
