Ask HN: What is the most useful AI tool you use outside of Cursor/ChatGPT?
5 points by break_the_bank 277 days ago
When I say Cursor/ChatGPT it includes everything in those categories including Cline/Claude Code/Claude/Gemini etc! I am really curious what tools are people using and getting the most value of, how do you use them, and how essential they have become to you!

SBERT embeddings make short work of many classification and clustering tasks. I made an RSS reader using SBERT and scikit-learn.
Honestly, I use the foundational model tools as much as possible, so going directly to Claude, Gemini, or ChatGPT.

I personally haven't found an AI tool that's a wrapper for these that does anything better than what you can get going directly to the source.
