v0 by Vercel is a strong AI app builder for React-first indie builders who want fast UI generation, GitHub sync, and a real path to shipping. It is powerful, but not magic.
Mochii AI is a low-cost browser copilot that blends summaries, research, memory, and multi-model access. Useful for browser-heavy builders, but breadth, trust, and depth are the real questions.
Anthropic's Model Context Protocol is the missing piece for building AI agents that actually interact with your systems. A deep dive into why MCP matters for indie builders, how it works, and whether it's worth adopting right now.

Make.com is a powerful visual automation platform for builders who need branching workflows, AI steps, and app integrations without hand-coding every glue layer.
Cursor is a powerful AI-first code editor for builders who want faster real-code workflows, not an app-builder fantasy. Strong for indie founders, but costly and review-heavy.
Framer is a strong AI-assisted website builder for design-led founders who need polished marketing sites fast. It is not a full app platform, and that boundary matters.
Claude has evolved into a serious AI workbench for writing, research, coding, and team workflows. Powerful, but pricing and usage complexity matter.
Perplexity Comet is an AI-native browser built for research, summaries, inline editing, and light automation. Useful for web-heavy builders, but not a true autopilot.
