Top 10 AI Tools for coding
In this rising era of Artificial Intelligence, we can see people loosing their jobs because they do not adapt to AI tools and editors as companies now a days require faster coding with the help of AI IDEs and extensions. With the rise of these new tools now everone demands the works to be faser than earlier.
Recently COINBASEs CEO said that he fired some of the company employees just because they didn,t adapt to the new AI tools.
So here are some IDEs and extensions or AI tools which can help you to code faster.
1.Cursor IDE
Cursor is a powerful AI-enabled code editor built on top of Visual Studio Code, which means it feels familiar to VS Code users and supports most VS Code extensions. It enhances the traditional IDE experience by deeply integrating advanced AI models such as Claude and ChatGPT directly into the editor.
Cursor offers a free tier with limited AI usage, allowing users to try out its core features. For extended and professional use, it provides paid plans that are reasonably priced for individual developers as well as teams. Organizations can purchase team or enterprise plans and distribute access to employees with centralized billing and management.
2.WindSurf IDE
It is very similar to Cursor IDE and also allows you to use most of the extensions from your existing VS Code setup. Additionally, it supports multiple AI models, including DeepSeek and Claude, providing a versatile environment for AI-assisted coding and code analysis.
3.BlackBox AI IDE
Many people think of Black Box simply as a prompt-based AI agent, but few realize that it also offers a full-fledged IDE, similar to Cursor and Windsurf, allowing developers to work directly on their code with AI assistance.
4.Trae
Trae AI is a VS Code extension that brings AI-powered coding assistance directly into your existing IDE.
