“I spend most of my day in Claude Code now, especially Opus 4.5, which I trust to build entire features end to end. I pair that with Cursor for some work, Vercel previews, and Supabase branching so I can wake up to a fully testable environment.”
“I don't actually keep a list of favorite tools. What I care about is whether a tool gets out of the way so I can focus on what we are building and who it is for.”
“I spend a lot of time with founders who are trying to move faster with less, and the AI tools I actually get excited about are the ones that compress a whole workflow, not just draft a paragraph.”
“I use Claude as my daily driver for writing, thinking, and building apps with Claude Code, WhisperFlow to talk three times faster than I type, and NotebookLM to compress 50-page reports into something I can actually learn from. Grok is my research pick when I need unfiltered, real-time depth on a decision.”
“I prototype fast with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf, then design UI in Figma and ship iOS builds through TestFlight. For me the best AI tools are the ones that turn a weekend idea into something a real user can tap.”
“I’m basically living in Perplexity, Claude, and Cursor at this point. Perplexity replaced Google for me, Claude runs my YouTube producer project with all my channel data, and Cursor is how I ship little apps without being a real engineer.”
“I reach for Google AI Studio when I need pupils or non-technical people to actually build something, and for system-level prompt work on my own projects. What I really want next is a personal operator, not another assistant: something that can read my messy Notion, connect half-finished ideas, and push real work forward without me asking.”
“I use ChatGPT the most, but the tool I was most excited about was Cursor: an editor where you describe code changes instead of typing them. As a founder, I care less about the model and more about whether the interface disappears into the work.”
“I built two MVPs in one week without writing code manually, and the stack was Cursor, Replit, V0, Lovable, and Grok4. For me, Cursor wins when I am deep in the build, and V0 is unbeatable when I need something that looks real in minutes.”
