AI-Powered Developers

AI Tools Are Way Beyond Copilot—Are You Keeping Up?

While GitHub Copilot has become the go-to AI coding assistant for many developers, the landscape of AI-powered development tools has expanded far beyond just code completion.

From intelligent terminals to automated UI design, AI is revolutionizing the entire software development lifecycle. These tools don’t just speed up coding—they enhance collaboration, optimize workflows, and unlock new levels of efficiency.

However, tools alone aren’t enough—you need the right expertise to leverage them effectively. At Mangochango, we don’t just know how to use AI tools; we can integrate them into workflows to maximize efficiency, maintain high code quality, and accelerate project timelines.

Here are five AI-powered tools that every development team should know about in 2025:

cursor-ai-powered-ide

Cursor

AI-Driven IDE for Smarter Coding

Cursor is an AI-powered code editor that seamlessly integrates AI-assisted features directly into the development workflow.

It enhances productivity by offering AI-driven code completion, inline debugging, and natural language codebase queries.

Unlike Copilot, Cursor is designed to be a full-fledged AI companion for developers, making it easier to navigate and understand complex codebases.

Teams leveraging Cursor can reduce context switching, accelerate development, and improve code maintainability.

warp-terminal-reinvented-ai

Warp

The Terminal Reinvented with AI

Warp is a Rust-based terminal that brings modern features, AI-assisted commands, and real-time collaboration to the command line.

Traditional terminals haven’t evolved much over the years, but Warp changes the game by offering AI-powered command suggestions, intelligent auto-completions, and enhanced search capabilities.

For development teams, this means less time spent searching for the right commands and more time building. With Warp Drive, teams can even share reusable command workflows, reducing redundant work and ensuring best practices are followed.

qodo-code-integrity-testing-ai

Qodo

AI-Powered Code Integrity and Automated Testing

Qodo, formerly known as Codium, is an AI-driven code integrity platform designed to improve software quality at every stage of development.

Its TestGPT feature generates high-quality test cases automatically, reducing the burden on developers and improving code reliability.

AlphaCodium enhances code generation, while other AI-powered tools streamline debugging and refactoring.

Qodo helps teams catch issues earlier in the development process, ultimately leading to more stable and maintainable applications.

AI-UI-Generation-v0

V0

AI-Powered UI Generation for Developers and Designers

V0.dev is an AI-driven tool that allows developers to generate high-quality React components using natural language prompts.

Instead of spending hours manually designing and coding UI components, teams can input descriptions, and V0 generates fully functional, Tailwind-styled React components ready for integration. This speeds up prototyping, enhances consistency, and ensures that design and development stay aligned.

Whether building new interfaces or iterating on existing ones, V0 accelerates front-end workflows dramatically.

figma-ui-prototyping

First Draft by Figma

AI-Powered UI Prototyping

First Draft is an AI-powered feature within Figma that generates UI prototypes based on prompts, reducing the time needed to create user interfaces from scratch.

By selecting from different design libraries and patterns, designers and developers can rapidly iterate on UI concepts, ensuring that user experience remains a priority while minimizing design bottlenecks.

First Draft bridges the gap between ideation and execution, helping teams move from concept to implementation faster than ever before.
