YashrajHi there,
In this blog, I'll be sharing the top 3 AI tools I rely on daily as a software engineer. These tools help me with coding, answering random questions, and boosting productivity. Let’s dive in!
1. ChatGPT
The first AI tool I used extensively for coding is ChatGPT. It provides concise answers to coding queries, though it falls short when it comes to the latest information or code snippets for recent versions of frameworks or languages. These days, I primarily use ChatGPT for general tasks like:
- Improving grammar
- Writing emails
- Learning core concepts that haven’t changed much over time
ChatGPT is excellent for tutorials on new programming languages or refining skills in existing ones. I also find it particularly useful for generating book summaries, which helps me stay productive. In my opinion, ChatGPT's user interface is one of the best among AI tools.
2. Claude AI
Lately, Claude AI has become my go-to tool for coding and debugging. It has access to the latest information and provides more precise code solutions. I frequently use it for debugging and writing test cases. While it generally performs well, there are instances where Claude overcomplicates the code, making debugging more time-consuming.
In such cases, I often find myself turning to official documentation to resolve the issues.
3. Gemini
Gemini, developed by Google, also has up-to-date information, but I find its responses can be hit or miss. While it provides accurate and current answers, I don't prefer it as much because its answers often lack the level of clarity I expect. However, when Claude doesn’t meet my needs, I switch to Gemini for coding and debugging tasks.
These are the main AI tools I use every day as a software engineer. What AI tools do you use in your daily workflow? Feel free to share in the comments!
