In recent software development, it’s hard to imagine our work without AI — or at least without taking help from it. I’m no different. I use AI in my daily life for both personal tasks and software development, and it has significantly improved my productivity, efficiency, and delivery speed.
Today, I’d like to share the AI tools I regularly use in my development workflow and how each of them helps me work smarter and ship faster.
Claude
I use Claude by Anthropic for UI design, layout planning, and UX thinking because it’s strong at understanding visual structure and user flows. It helps me refine screens and component structure before I write code.

📝 Documentation & Small Tasks —
ChatGPT
For documentation, refactoring small functions, quick fixes, and snippets, I rely on ChatGPT. It’s fast, produces clear explanations, and is great for everyday development support.
🧠 Complex Logic —
Antigravity
For deep business logic, multi-step reasoning, and complicated engineering problems, I use Antigravity — Google’s agent-first AMIDE-style development platform where AI agents can plan, code, and verify complex tasks across your editor and tools.

🤖 Agentic Coding —
Qwen Code
My favorite tool for agentic programming is Qwen Code from Alibaba Cloud. It excels at understanding codebases, managing multi-file changes, and automating big refactors or feature builds.
