I m curious how people are actually using coding agents today.

Do you mostly use them directly in the terminal, or through an app/interface like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, etc.?

There are tons of great coding agent CLIs and IDEs out there. Which do you use on a regular basis? What stands out as being the killer feature?

Not which model benchmarks best.

Which one is actually open on your machine right now? And what did it replace?

AI coding tools seem to come in two main flavors: IDE-based, like @Cursor and @GitHub Copilot, and terminal-based setups, like using @Claude Code to generate commands, scripts, or entire files. Both have their fans, but which one actually helps you move faster?

Curious what flow people are sticking with long term, and where you see the most gains (or frustrations).

I've been primarily using @Cursor as I like how it operates, enjoy that it's visual, and I am getting very comfortable with using it and being able to easily select different code bits and modify what I need....however....
I recently started using Gemini CLI in @Warp and I must say... I'm kinda liking it. I feel that it's able to do a lot more, faster without needing me to jump in. When I do jump in, it's simply to provide it guidence and direction.
I haven't done much with it yet, but I can see myslef now doing a combination of CLI and IDE development. I'm curious what everyone elses experience is! Or if you haven't used a CLI or IDE AI tool, why?
A bit of additional background, I'm not a develpoer but more of a "vibe coder" I can kinda understand different languages and don't mind diving into tech docs but I prefer AI do more of the coding than me :)

I might be missing some but I've been pretty much in love with @Lovable, @Cursor, @bolt.new and have been trying to use @Replit more and I honestly haven't touched @BASE44 too much but have heard good things. @chrismessina has nudged me to use @Windsurf for whenever I build another Raycast Extension!
Currently I use:
- @bolt.new / @Lovable
- @Cursor
- @Warp
Curious what everyone thinks is the top one so far!

I am attempting to observe what you use for coding. I have come across many tools on Product Hunt + Web, but I am fairly certain I have missed quite a bit.
I divided them into "traditional" and "specialised".

Traditional AI models:

DeepSeek

New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.

Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?

We are halfway through 2025 What are the best developer tools launched on Product Hunt this year from your perspective?

Below are some of my favorite, most inspiring dev-first product launches until now, sorted by launch date:

• @Jolt AI - The AI assistant for 100K+ line codebases ranked #3 Product of the Day last January. How Jolt AI launched 

• @Lingo.dev - Discovered during the Mega Launch Week, the AI localization engine (YC F24) kept momentum on Product Hunt last February: #2 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Week, and #1 Developer Tool of the Month. S/O to @vrcprl @maxprilutskiy and team!

• @Appwrite Sites - The "open-source Vercel alternative" ranked #1 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Week, and #1 Developer Tool of the Month. Read the teardown here in /p/appwrite

• @Kibo UI - This open-source extension to @shadcn/ui ranked #3 Product of the Day last May.

• @next-forge - First launched in 2023, the new release ranked #4 Product of the Day early June. Keep launching!

Hey everyone,

I don't actually like using the term "vibe coding". We've been software developers for over a decade ,are not one-shotting features, and have a very opinionated and strict dev process.

I have been a big fan of @Aqua Voice but do need something local for the times I don't have internet or am traveling. So I wanted to give @OpenWispr a try but didn't really want to go through the whole setup for it... so I gave @Claude for Desktopaccess to my files and computer and... it basically instantly installed the whole thing and got it working!
Then I asked it to package for me as a Mac app (.app) and what do you know... it did! Was honestly kind of amazing. There was one issue that I had to keep troubleshooting and that's sometimes Claude would reference the wrong environment or file... it could figure it out, but just something to pay attention too.

So now you can vibecode and quickly iterate on Open Source software using Claude Desktop, @Cursor, and @Warp. Use Claude to set it up, Cursor to iterate and build, then Warp to polish and debug.

Have there been any Open Source software that has scared you away but you might try install with this method?

I love @Cursor. It's enabled me to build (vibe code) so many web apps, sites, extensions, and little things quickly that 1. bring me joy and 2. help me with work or realize personal projects.
However... I'm seeing a TON of movement around @Claude by Anthropic's Claude Code. I haven't personally tried it but it's apparently insane (and can also be expensive?)
I'm curious. Should I switch? What are you currently using? Or do they both have their own use case. I right now like cursor because I can build directly in a GitHub repo or locally and it helps me learn my way around an IDE.
Looking forward to hearing everyone's thoughts!

Meow world, welcome back to The Breakpoint, a weekly thread on all things dev tools on Product Hunt.

The latest

Recent dev-first products launched on the site.

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

Meow, world!

I really enjoyed reading The Breakpoint, Product Hunt's weekly, developer-focused newsletter, and wanted to relaunch it as a token of appreciation to the community.

I don't hear about Augment as much as I do Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Code etc. but they've also raised more than $200M, so it must be decent.

They just announced the release of a CLI tool, Auggie, to compete with Claude Code.

I recently installed @Augment Code based on an ad somewhere, and I'm super impressed, but haven't heard a peep about it in most channels. But it got me wondering what else I'm missing. This is a crowded field with a few frontrunners and a lot of more esoteric newcomers, but I want to know about the ones that blow your mind but hardly get any coverage.
