Best AI developer tools
AI developer tools are essential software, frameworks, and platforms designed to help developers build, test, and deploy artificial intelligence and machine learning applications efficiently. These tools range from model training and inference engines to data labeling, MLOps, and AI-powered code assistants.
Why AI Developer Tools Are Useful:
- Accelerate Development – Automate repetitive tasks, such as data preprocessing, model training, and hyperparameter tuning.
- Enhance Productivity – AI-powered code assistants and debugging tools help developers write and optimize code faster.
- Improve Model Performance – Advanced frameworks and cloud-based solutions streamline model deployment and scaling.
- Simplify MLOps – Integrated tools help manage datasets, version control, and model monitoring in production.
- Reduce Costs – Pre-built models and efficient computation reduce the time and resources needed for AI development.
- Whether you're a researcher, data scientist, or software engineer, AI developer tools make it easier to build intelligent applications at scale.

GitHub Copilot · Your AI pair programmer
> GitHub Copilot works alongside you directly in your editor, suggesting whole lines or entire functions for you.
This was the first AI tool I really used in my IDE. It was great, it still is great, but I feel it is the slowest to adapt to developer feedback.

GitLab Duo | GitLab
> The suite of AI capabilities powering your workflows.
I really like Gitlab Duo, it has many great features in my VScode IDE. For a VScode plugin this is my go-to AI developer tool I use.

Cursor - The AI Code Editor - CursorAI
> Built to make you extraordinarily productive, Cursor is the best way to code with AI.
This had so much hype that I avoided it for so long, yes I usually wait for the dust to settle. But now having used Cursor AI intensively for 1 month (I actually built this platform with Cursor AI), the dedicated IDE and features are amazing!
I now pay for Cursor AI, but I realise I can go through the Pro tier usage (which is currently $20) very fast. I think I go through this in about 1-2 weeks, so it will be intertesting to see how their "slow" requests perform.
