Top 5 AI Coding Assistants and How They Help Our Developers Daily
At Appsoluty, we’ve fully embraced the AI revolution — not just as a trendy add-on, but as a core part of how we build mobile and web applications. From MVPs to scalable platforms, AI tools help our developers move faster, write better code, reduce errors, and focus more energy on meaningful engineering decisions.
One key lesson we’ve learned: these tools don’t replace developers — they elevate them. Here's a breakdown of the top 5 AI coding assistants we use daily, and exactly how they support our workflows.
1. GitHub Copilot – Our Daily Wingman
If there's one tool we rely on most deeply, it's GitHub Copilot. Integrated across our development stack — mobile, web, backend, and admin — Copilot acts as a real-time AI pair programmer.
What it helps with:- Context-aware code suggestions: Copilot completes entire functions based on variable names and previous code blocks.
- Unit test generation: Based on function logic, saving time on QA prep.
- Edge case prompts: It often suggests scenarios or inputs we hadn’t thought of.
- Speed boosts: Especially helpful for repetitive patterns like form handling, API requests, and data mapping.
In Flutter projects, it speeds up UI component generation and state handling. In Laravel and Node.js, it helps with model relationships, controllers, and API logic. We’ve seen productivity boosts of 25–50% in common coding tasks with Copilot — especially among our senior devs who know how to guide the AI properly.
2. Cursor – AI-Powered Code Editor
Cursor is an AI-first code editor that’s become essential for architectural exploration and debugging.
What it helps with:- Code explanations: When developers inherit a large codebase, Cursor explains unfamiliar files line-by-line.
- Refactoring: It recommends cleaner ways to structure existing code.
- Bug fixes: Detects logic flaws and proposes working alternatives.
We recently refactored an entire KMP shared module using Cursor — reducing complexity and catching hidden edge-case bugs before they hit QA.
3. Lovable – Automated Scaffolding & Architecture
Lovable is our go-to for bootstrapping new projects quickly and consistently.
What it helps with:- File structure generation based on tech stack and feature list.
- Boilerplate automation (auth flows, database connections, API base classes).
- Shared standards: It keeps structure clean and aligned across devs, even on larger teams.
It cut down our typical initial setup time by 60–70%, letting us spend more time on real feature development and less on wiring things up.
4. GPT-4 / Custom GPTs – Deep Problem Solving
ChatGPT with GPT-4 remains one of our most flexible tools for tackling complex dev questions.
What it helps with:- Architecture brainstorming: Exploring trade-offs between microservices vs. monoliths or REST vs. GraphQL.
- Code translation: Swift to Kotlin, React to Vue, etc.
- Project documentation & user story generation
We’ve created custom GPTs trained on our coding standards, making it faster for team members to ask “how would Appsoluty handle this?” and get practical, aligned answers.
5. Mintlify – Docs as You Code
Great documentation is a win for developers, clients, and long-term maintainability — but it’s also easy to overlook.
Mintlify ensures that never happens.
What it helps with:- Inline doc generation (JSDoc, KDoc, PHPDoc, etc.)
- Live syncing with changes
- Readable API documentation that’s client-facing
It helps us keep documentation high-quality and consistent without slowing down development, which makes onboarding new devs and clients dramatically easier.
Why It All Matters
- Faster delivery times
- Fewer bugs and regressions
- More time for innovation
- Lower overall project costs
Our clients benefit from faster MVPs, better codebases, and a team that’s always focused on high-value work — not copy-pasting boilerplate or debugging avoidable issues.
Final Thoughts: The Human + AI Advantage
We’re not just experimenting with AI — we’ve built it into the DNA of our development process. The result is software that’s faster to build, easier to scale, and more maintainable over time.
