Quick survey of current AI coding tools
  • Claude Code: A CLI tool for "agentic coding". Available even in the Free tier.
  • Gemini Code Assist - Github app/tool, VS Code Extension
  • Github Copilot - Has a [free tier](GitHub Copilot Free).
  • Aider - Open source "pair programming in your terminal". Lots of features.
  • Repomix - pack your repo into a single file, then use Claude 3.7 or Gemini 2.0 Pro to ask about your entire codebase. (Should be free.)
  • Cursor AI Editor VS Code with AI steroids. (Might be free at the start.)
  • Windsurf - VS Code with EVEN MORE AI steroids. (Also free last I checked.)
  • Zed editor - I think this one is from-scratch editor, also with AI integration. Not sure of any particular advantage over the previous 2.
