Cursor for sure. If your code is all in one repo (e.g. frontend and backend), it's awesome for context.

I bought the SlimSaaS kit, and I just pump out non-stop products with Cursor. Also, if you use a UI component library, the AI does a much better job at design.

Elevenlabs for voice/marketing.

I started getting very serious about AI when I got early access to GPT 3. Before that I was using Google Dialogflow to build AI powered chatbots. Since then I downloaded, installed and tested literally hundreds and hundreds of AI related software application. At first this was really exciting ... I thought "wow this software is going to change everything" ... then a few days later another application would be released and another and another and until I became paralyzed by the amount of choices available. This resulted in a huge amount of stress. For months and months I had analysis paralysis. Eventually I settled on Supabase/PGvector for RAG (mostly because it provides Row Level Security for data/vectors) and this gave me a strong foundation to build on. Now I use Supabase, Vercel AI SDK with Svelte and N8N and mostly Claude Sonnet 3.5 as my LLM (with OpenAI O1 for more complex tasks and GPT 4o mini for cheaper inference). I also use Cursor (with the same models) every day which is amazing.

I've been experimenting with Notion's AI assistant, which is still in beta. It's been super helpful for task management and organization

are you using it to auto-assign tasks, generate to-do lists, or something else entirely?

My favourite is Link Suggestions which recommends relevant pages and databases to link. It helps to build a more interconnected knowledge base in my Notion
