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!)

- Wispr Flow

- Aqua -  (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 terminal 


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
