Three years ago, if you had told me that just some AI tools could replace 70% of the work of an entire development team, I would have definitely found it hilarious. But now it’s already 2025—artificial intelligence has become the unassuming yet powerful “co-founder” for solo developers, individual developers, and tech creators like you and me.
This is no pipe dream. I’ve personally used these tools when building side projects, automating client work, and even brainstorming product ideas. Guess what? These tools are so useful that they feel like cheat codes.
Let me introduce to you 10 AI tools that I have used (or closely monitored). They are taking over the arduous tasks usually undertaken by developers, designers, and testers.
⚙️ 1. GitHub Copilot
Your AI Pair Programmer

From writing sample code to suggesting complete features, Copilot can truly bring your ideas to life with code. It can not only be helpful but also make programming fun again.
I use Copilot every day. It enables me to go from idea to MVP in days instead of weeks.
🧠 2. ChatGPT (Professional Version with Code Interpreter)
The AI technology leader you’ve been dreaming of.

Need help with regular expressions, misunderstanding something, or planning application architecture? Just ask.
Additional feature: It can now run Python scripts and assist you in testing code in context.
I once used it to debug a MySQL performance issue. It explained what the problem was and provided an optimized query.
🎨 3. Uizard / Galileo AI
Design UI without the need for a designer.
Website link: https://uizard.io/

Just draw a layout sketch or describe the screen. Bam! A usable UI is generated in just a few seconds.
Although it is not perfect, it is a very good starting point.
I used Uizard to simulate the dashboard and Galileo to create the landing page, which saved me several hours.
🔧 4. Durable.co
AI Website Builder

Just one prompt is all it takes to create a complete website (including copy, images, and layout). It’s not just code-free, it’s thought-free.
🧪 5. Testim.io / Waldo / Autify
AI QA Engineer
Website link: https://www.testim.io/

These tools can automatically generate tests based on application usage or the screen. They are most suitable for regression testing and repetitive processes.
For a React application, I created an end-to-end flow within 10 minutes using Testim. 😲
📦 6. Replit Ghostwriter
