REPLIT AGENT

Replit Agent is an agent based AI tool that helps developers write and deploy code very rapidly. It's been my most effective workflow for Proof of Concept and MVP shipping. 

The link on the left is a referral code but I highly recommend the product for anyone just starting out with "Vibe Coding".

Replit provides you a hosted development environment which makes it much easier to start and deploy a working prototype compared to other options.

CURSOR

Cursor AI one of the most popular AI Coding assistants on the market. It works well on an existing codebase and also as a plugin to VSS. This makes it very flexible and applicable for more experienced coders.

ChatGPT $20

Chat GPT from Open AI kicked off the Generative AI revolution in a big way. 

As of early 2025 I find it a useful tool to revisit. Specifically for the multimodal advantages that it offers. 

The LLM Models are also state of the art however some restrictions make it less useful in some inquiries such as medical.

CLAUDE $20

Claude introduced by Anthropic has some advantages over ChatGPT in my experience. 

For example medical analysis and advice seems a bit less restrictive. Also for coding it has been consistently more useful than ChatGPT.

However for multimodal/image/pdf analysis I find the OCR not as powerful and the lack of an image generator keeps me paying the Chat GPT subscription.
