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

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’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! 🙌

code buff in the terminal is my new favorite thing. Makes old workflows feel brand new.
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 list! I’ve heard of some and some are new I want to check out like Granola, Vapi, Krea.
