Ask HN: Almost 3 years since ChatGPT. What tools do you use? Really curious what is working and what is not working for people. I want to understand what tools do you use on a daily basis that are AI native, that you pay for. Here's my stack Cursor - daily, i pay and go over the $20 limit every month ChatGPT - almost daily, i pay $20 Granola - almost daily, less than ChatGPT, I don't pay yet |
I find Copilot (at least the version we have) to be almost totally useless beyond autocomplete, but I use the internal platform a lot, particularly for redrafting documents to be more polite (I'm a bit of a grump). I've found that the context I can be bothered to paste into that is good for getting ideas in SW off the ground but I find reliability to be mixed. I tried to implement a modification to some code in Go using concurrency recently (not a topic I'm very familiar with and so would have struggled to do alone) and for e.g. the code it outputted deadlocked and despite a lot of prompting, I couldn't resolve it.
