AI platforms

Instruments, not a ranking

Direct links plus our Lab pages. Job-fit lives on Compare.

Chat + Codex

ChatGPT (OpenAI)

Planning, debugging, and Codex as the coding guest. Not “debugger only.”

Chat + Grok Build

Grok (xAI)

Research without the usual refusals — and a terminal coding agent. Not research-only.

Chat + Claude Code

Claude (Anthropic)

Structured builds, long context, heavier refusals. A strong guest — not the only engine.

Google

Gemini

Workspace, huge documents, citations. Best if you already live in Google.

Cited research

Perplexity

AI search with sources. A researcher, not a builder.

Microsoft 365

Microsoft Copilot

Word / Excel / Teams. Not GitHub Copilot. Different guest.

Open weights

DeepSeek

Capable and cheap. Think hard about where cloud data goes.

Local

Meta LLaMA

Open weights. Run locally (Ollama). Meta’s consumer apps are a different privacy story.

Personal

Pi (Inflection)

Conversation partner. Not a build tool.

Coding tools

Guests in the folder

Launch one. Give it PROJECT.md. You keep deploy.

Tutorial

Grok Build

Type grok in VS Code. Parallel instrument with Codex.

Tutorial

Codex

Type codex. Adapter file is AGENTS.md.

Profile

Claude Code

Adapter file is CLAUDE.md. Confirm current plan access on the Lab.

IDE

Cursor

The editor is the product.

GitHub

GitHub Copilot

Completions plus CLI. The “type copilot” hint is this guest.

IDE

Windsurf

Cursor-class. Confirm current name and price on the Lab.

BYOK

Cline & Aider

Bring your own key. You watch the bill.

Index

All coding tools

The instrument list without a winner podium.

Infrastructure

Editor, host, backup

Editor

VS Code

Free. The room. Agents are guests. File → Open Folder.

Host

Firebase Hosting

What this site runs on. Static files. SSL handled.

Host

Vercel

Git-push deploys. Fine alternative for static sites.

DNS

Cloudflare

DNS and DDoS. Set records to DNS-only when pointing at Firebase.

Backup

GitHub

Version control. Free. A bad day should not delete the project.

Local models

Ollama

Run open weights on your machine.
