AI tools I'm using now
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
- Pipecat (open source)
Meeting notes without a bot:
- Granola
Fast voice input (stop typing!)
- Aqua - (newer, has contextual awareness)
Agentic coding assistants:
- Cursor
- Windsurf (getting tons of traction, especially w/ early startups)
- Devin - has way fewer reviews and shoutouts (reviews by startups) on Product Hunt - but another founder spoke highly of it in the roundtable
- Codebuff (formerly manicode) - AI agent in terminal
Other coding tools
- Graphite - AI code reviewer - we use this and like it a lot
Ad creative
- Krea - came recommended by a founder in the roundtable
Design / vibecoding
- v0.dev - Vercel's frontend design (many designers now work with V0 and Cursor/windsurf instead of Figma)
- Replit.com , Bolt.new , Lovable.dev - coding agents for non-coders to stand up quick projects

I’ve tried a couple from here, like Cursor and Wispr Flow, but a few are new to me (definitely checking out Windsurf and Granola). Thank you for sharing! 🙌
Krea
One of the founders of Krea here. Curious that you use Krea for Ad assets—is it mostly for that or you use it for something else?
Product Hunt
@asciidiego I don’t personally use it but the founder of a consumer goods co mentioned they use Krea and really like it!
I haven't tried most of these yet, definitely need to! Also, for the voice tools, you should check out Dia (https://github.com/nari-labs/dia). They just released it recently. Also, soon, you'll have to add SunApp.ai to that list too. 😉
Great topic, Rajiv!
I do extensively use Raycast AI, along with @Anthropic's Claude 3.7 Sonnet when coding and @OpenAI's o3-mini when speed matters — see this thread. Experimented with @Github Copilot and switched to @Cursor, playing around with @bolt.new @Lovable and interacting with @Greptile (code reviews) and @Bucket (feature flags).
Great list! I’ve heard of some and some are new I want to check out like Granola, Vapi, Krea.
Milestone Content Studio
