By function · prototype build
AI tools for building a product.
Building is where most founder-time goes. The tools below are picked for that work specifically — AI-first IDEs (Cursor, Windsurf, Zed), autonomous coding agents (Cline, Aider, Devin), no-code prototyping (Bolt, Replit, Lovable, v0), and the agent infrastructure layer underneath (Pinecone, Together, Helicone). Picks favour composability and self-serve pricing — at this layer your tools should grow with the product, not force a migration.
