AI tools I'm using now
I was recently talking with a group of founders, and we went around sharing tools we're using now. Posting my notes for our community here - would love to know what else people are using!
Voice AI toolkit:
- Vapi
- Pipecat (open source)
Meeting notes without a bot:
- Granola
Fast voice input (stop typing!)
- Aqua -Â Â (newer, has contextual awareness)
Agentic coding assistants:
- Cursor
- Windsurf (getting tons of traction, especially w/ early startups)
- Devin - has way fewer reviews and shoutouts (reviews by startups) on Product Hunt - but another founder spoke highly of it in the roundtable
- Codebuff (formerly manicode) - AI agent in terminalÂ
Other coding tools
- Graphite - AI code reviewer - we use this and like it a lot
Ad creative
- Krea - came recommended by a founder in the roundtable
Design / vibecoding
- v0.dev - Vercel's frontend design (many designers now work with V0 and Cursor/windsurf instead of Figma)
- Replit.com , Bolt.new , Lovable.dev - coding agents for non-coders to stand up quick projects
