These 6 AI Tools Can Supercharge Your Software Developers And Designers
Software development and website coding can be a complex process. As such, businesses should explore different methods for shortening their time-to-market and achieving efficient operations.
Although the most successful companies are finding ways to use AI technology in their development cycles, many devs are still sticking to their guns, insisting on working completely manually. However, AI can exponentially lead to a faster and more precise development process, thereby saving the company money and time while also improving the quality of the final product.
Regardless of where you stand on the whole human vs. machine debate, here are some of the most powerful AI tools you should test drive when starting a new project:
UI design is a never-ending struggle between usability and originality, requiring a lot of back and forth between developers and designers. This is where Uizard enters the picture. With its AI-powered features, even those without appropriate knowledge can use simple text prompts to generate effective UI designs and refine them with an intuitive drag-and-drop editor.
If you need to create a mobile app wireframe, a landing page, or a website, Uizard can help you get there a lot faster.
As every web designer knows, starting a new website is often an arduous task. That blank page can look like a thing of nightmares.
Fortunately, Relume can get you on the right track almost instantly. While by no means a tool that will replace designers, it helps them quickly assemble a site. For example, you can use text prompts to build a full sitemap containing all the pages and convert it into a wireframe that includes an eerily human-like website copy. Once the skeleton of the website is there, you’re free to export it to Figma or Webflow where you can fine-tune specific design elements.
To cut down on coding time, software developers can rely on Tabnine, an AI coding assistant featuring code generation and full code completion.
In addition to the ability to complete full lines of code with a single keystroke, you can input hints to generate entire functions and leverage natural language processing to describe functions and scripts until you find the right code.
Determining what each piece of code is doing can be impossible even for seasoned developers, which is the exact reason why Figstack is so compelling. This tool uses machine learning and natural language processing to clarify code and create clear explanations of code regardless of the programming language.
Moreover, with code analysis features, Figstack allows developers to find performance issues and errors, and identify any security vulnerabilities.
Lastly, Figstack can also be used to produce comprehensive coding documentation for different modules, functions, and classes.
This coding assistant is somewhat of a combination of the previous two tools. It offers coding suggestions that range from making small changes in the line you’re currently writing to complete blocks of code. At the same time, Copilot can also explain code, meaning you can ask it to provide tips on solving bugs and errors.
Launching a successful application requires extensive functional testing. As luck would have it, you can reduce the manual work required during this time-intensive process with Applitools.
This test automation platform can eliminate the need for traditional software testing. Since it’s more precise and faster than the classic approach, development teams can boost the quality of the application while also slashing costs and drastically reducing time-to-launch.
Maintain a competitive edge
The application and web development landscape is evolving at a rapid pace and it’s just a matter of time until a manual approach is fully phased out of the industry. The usage of AI, even in a limited capacity, is the best way to stay competitive and match the output of companies leveraging modern technologies to their full potential.
Fret not, though. All the solutions outlined above are simple and easy to implement whatever the size of your team is. We recommend you give them a shot as it will allow you to push a project toward completion faster, seizing the unlimited sea of opportunities that AI technologies bring to the table.
