Develop smarter not harder:AI tools for Developers
A collection of AI tools for developers to boost up development routine. Cool thing is that some of these are created by some fellows on indiehackers .. If you are using something that you recommend please share :)

I started using copilot recently, very clean integration in VScode
can you just ask to to write a function that does XYZ and it will write it? or does it just do code completion?
you can do it by using comment before the code block. For example, you said 'copy one array of a struct to array of another struct', it will generate the code for you. But I think it is just for reference
Just installed rubberduck and testing in vs code ..
It should also be important to consider that AI tools that help devs don't just have to be ones that help them write code, but also ones that just help them handle cloud hosting (most AI run on the cloud).
This is what I'm doing with Evoke. We've just been hosting open source AI models on the cloud accessible through API so devs don't have to do cloud hosting of their own
Yes Richard, I will have a dedicated list to these Products/tools which help developers build AI applications .. cause they are a thing on their own :)
These tools offer a lot of potential. They do raise an issue of licensing. Specifically, is anyone -- the tool author, you the user -- in violation of the license(s) for the training set? In the U.S., at least, we don't know yet. There's a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for the GitHub CoPilot product. A safe ground it seems to me is to use them for non-production code, such as automated test generation. It may be also that some tools change to train only from code where licenses clearly permit.
EDIT: Here's a link to an article about the lawsuit.
I didn't hear about the class action! Will be looking into it for sure. I love copilot and I'm also curious how OpenAI might further enhance it since Microsoft has a role in both
Well it's a tough topic, I think we will see some regulations coming out in the upcoming year or so for many of these models in different domains
Gem! Saved
Thanks for sharing!
If this is your site just a note: some of the tags say "Free trail" instead of "Free trial".
Thanks for spotting this, fixed hopefully :)
Agreed that AI-powered tools enable a supercharged Development experience. Out of all of such tools I'm aware of, the text-to-image generators has been one of the most freeing; as I now am able to artistically explore Web Development ideas as fast as I can imagine them.
There are currently different flavors and apps coming out everyday. Some of them are just clones at least basically they rely on the same APIs on the background. But there are some very interesting use cases (text-to-image, text-to-speech, speech-to-text, summarizations, text-to-3D and Meta and google are playing with text-to-video) still not great results though. I am trying to aggregate new tools as they come up everyday, so keep an eye you will find some interesting ones indeed.
Thanks for that! We've been using AI to help finish and speed up our coding lately. Have passed your link on to our team.
Cool, hopefully you'll find some useful tools
Thank you for sharing. I just submitted my tool (https://komandi.app) to the list
Very nice one, thanks for sharing
Komandi is added to the list
Just launched the closed beta for an automation site that chains together GPT-3, APIs and python snippets.
The goal is to aid developers in building more. If you are interested in the beta: Autory.ai
Hey Thystler, could you please submit to the site will take it from there
Thanks for sharing the list of amazing tools.
I want to see my tool in the list and submitting Churnfree its the customer retention tool which is helping the membership business to reduce the customer churn and increase the MRR.
Hope our tool will help the all membership business owners to save their customers.
Great list! You missed Kodezi though
This is why I posted here to get what I missed :)
Will have check it out.
Blueberries are a type of berry that is native to North America. They are a popular fruit that is high in antioxidants and vitamins, such as Vitamin C and Vitamin K.

Thanks for mentioning Rubberduck!
Sure, discovered a couple of days ago and I think it was wise to open source it at this time, cause big players will start integrating such features in their apps anyways :)
Hey, thanks for sharing! I've got a pretty niche question for you - I'm currently working with a UI/UX/Webdev agency to build out my webpage on Webflow. They're a seasoned bunch, but they're hitting a wall when it comes to scroll hijacking and other types of animations (especially those that are conditional on scrolling). Do you happen to know of any nifty AI animation tools that can be easily integrated with Webflow? I'd be over the moon if you could share your expertise and point me in the right direction!
Hey Lena, don't have much experience with web flow :)
but a quick look, it seems that it's common pain point among a lot of people ... Not Sure if they offer anything useful to your use case in this course just thought to share anyways

@Linkology, I already found that one, thank you nevertheless ;) I think that when it comes to less basic animations, this course is just not enough. I was looking for more like dedicated Webflow add-on that maybe invents designs basing on your description, including animations. I'll ask community about that though, I will let you know what I found if you're interested 💪
Yes Keep me posted , let me know if you needed any other tools may be will have something
CoPilot is an essential tool in VScode. Although results vary once you start doing anything beyond boilerplate. Surely I think it helped halving the traffic on SO 😂 Nice list, would be nice to know which AI they use, because probably most of them use the same Codex by OpenAI, so in the end is all about finding the ones with better interface or integration in your environment, as their results will be similar.
Very good point indeed, what would be your comparison factors or criteria to select one of them?
Not knowing what engine is behind (but I'm pretty much sure they all use Codex as I said), it would be GUI and workflow, if it's natural and effortless to me (so is completely subjective). Second is integration, so for example I want to have a convenient interface to ChatGPT (one that works unlike most of the ones out there because still no API for ChatGPT) in VScode, and I keep trying. The problem is always that, willingly or not, devs use ChatGPT and OpenAI API as they are the same thing, but they are not (not yet). So bots made with OpenAI API at the moment still use a different/minor version of GPT compared to ChatGPT. Hopefully soon there will be more clarity!
i just built an AI tool for text summaries. devs might find it useful as well.
could you give it a look and see if it's worthy of the list :)
readermax.com
I saw it's a summarization chrome extension, does it use AI? Please submit it to the site to provide some context and I will add it to the appropriate list for sure.
yes it uses AI. I just submitted the tool!
Will try some of these, thanks for posting
