Code & Builder

Prompt a working full-stack app: Lovable scaffolds the UI, wires Supabase, drops in Stripe, and deploys to a live URL.

No local install, no terminal. Replit Agent builds, runs, and hosts the app in your browser.

v0 generates the React + shadcn UI; Cursor wires the backend + DB; Vercel deploys.

Ship a Kotlin app: Cursor and Claude for the code, Android Studio for build, signing, and Play Console upload.

Run thousands of LLM calls a day for the price of a coffee. DeepSeek for production volume, Claude as the calibration and eval surface.

One codebase, both app stores. Expo + React Native, Cursor for the code, Claude for the architecture, EAS Build for native compile.

Ship a SaaS by Sunday. Design, scaffold, build, deploy without leaving the AI loop.

Ship a SaaS by Sunday with Gemini's 2M-token context window holding the whole codebase as one file.

Ship an iOS app from scratch: Cursor for Swift code, Xcode for build/sign/TestFlight, Claude for product decisions.

Run frontier-grade LLMs on weights you can inspect, self-host, and audit. Llama for general work, Mistral when EU data residency matters, Claude as the calibration eval.

Google's IDE on top of Gemini's 2M-context. Especially clean if your stack is GCP, Firebase, Android, or Workspace.

One surface, end to end. Claude Code does the planning AND the implementation; CodeRabbit reviews.

OpenAI's Codex on two surfaces: CLI in the terminal for hands-on work, Cloud for fire-and-forget PRs.

Cursor as the primary surface. Inline edits, agent mode for multi-file work, Bugbot for review.

Windsurf's Cascade agent plans + executes multi-step changes in the IDE. Fewer per-turn cycles on big diffs than Composer.

Plan with Claude, hand off to Claude Code in the terminal for autonomous edits, let CodeRabbit review, fix what it finds, ship.
