In this video, I’m sharing some of the AI tools that have transformed my workflow for Ruby on Rails and frontend development. From quickly prototyping UI designs to generating production-ready code, tools like Vercel’s V0 and Cursor are helping me build and iterate faster than ever.
Whether it's converting Figma designs into pixel-perfect markup or setting up complex models and tests with ease, I’m diving into how these AI-powered tools streamline my projects and let me focus on what matters most: building great features. If you're curious about how AI can speed up your own dev work, this video is for you!

Thanks for this post Pete. Before you opted for Cursor I presume you also looked at other options for AI-assisted Rails development. What features/factors led to you opting for Cursor over other tools?
Hey Patrick! I didn't do a huge amount of research to be honest, I had a few other engineers at one of the companies I consult at rave about cursor and they seemed to suggest at the time that it was more useful than github copilot, so I jumped in and tried it out.
Hi Pete! Thanks for replying :)
I've done a tiny bit of research since posting my question to you. In doing so I stumbled upon https://aide.dev/ which is an open source AI editor. If you get a chance to use it or review it, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.
Thanks again for the video and your reply.
Oh nice! I haven’t seen that before, but will keep an eye on it.
