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?

Teams aren t just adding AI into existing workflows.
They re reshaping the workflows themselves with the AI agent in the loop.

Steps get removed.
Objectives become clearer.
Old constraints disappear.
Processes reorganize around what the system can now do natively.

The real productivity gain isn t automation.
It s rethinking the architecture entirely.

Curious to hear from this crowd:
What s one workflow you rebuilt because AI made the old version irrelevant?

There are so many new AI agent platforms ( @Wordware @Lindy @CrewAI @zapier and so on) that I'm finding myself curious how everyone is using them.

What AI agents are you using in production? What do they do? Are they working and reliable? What would make them better? Are they replacing roles? Augmenting existing ones?

Everyone s been talking about AI Agents over the past year.

But the real leverage doesn t come from the agent itself. It comes from the context you provide:

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.

Hi everyone

We re launching Needle AI Agents tomorrow!

Our goal is to help teams automate processes and build AI Agents with context of their own data sources (Google Drive, Notion, Slack, etc.).

At this point, all of the AI coding assistants are in the same neighborhood. Decent at "advanced autocomplete", OK at code generation sometimes, and most are somewhere in the process of incorporating code context mechanisms. But what's next? Agentic behavior? Something else?
My pet prediction is that we will see the emergence of a new programming language that's designed for use with AI and can be translated to a variety of popular languages. (Or if we're cursed, just javascript )

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

A few years ago, AI at work meant smarter autocomplete or a chatbot on your website.

Now, I m seeing something different.

Companies are experimenting with AI agents as teammates - not just tools. They schedule meetings, file reports, analyze data, and even handle parts of customer support.

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

For years, "learn to code" was a golden rule for career growth. But with AI assistants writing entire functions, debugging code, and even generating full applications, is traditional coding knowledge still essential?

Will the future of development be prompt engineering rather than coding?

Will AI make deep knowledge of algorithms and system design more important, while reducing the need for syntax memorization?

If AI does the coding, what skills will become most valuable for future developers?

With AI agents and assistants are becoming more advanced, we're seeing them handle everything from scheduling meetings to managing entire workflows.

But here s the big question would you fully trust an AI to run tasks autonomously, or would you prefer keeping an eye on things just in case?
