1  AI Tools for Coding

1.1 AI Tools for Text, Voice and Image Generation

AI tools for text, voice, and image generation have become widespread.

We covered many of them in the first 3 AI workshops.

Text Generation: - ChatGPT - Claude - Microsoft Copilot - Google Gemini

Image Generation: - DALL-E - Midjourney

Voice & Synthesis: - NotebookLM – synthesizes and transforms information into podcasts and voice summaries

1.2 AI Tools for Code Generation

However, the world of coding requires a specialized set of tools designed specifically to understand, generate, and debug code for developers, programmers, engineers, etc.

• GitHub Copilot – AI pair programmer integrated into IDEs (e.g., VS Code) for real-time code suggestions and completion
• Claude Code – Coding-focused AI that analyzes and edits code across entire projects
• Gemini Code / Gemini CLI – Google’s AI coding agent designed to work directly in the terminal
• OpenAI Codex – AI engine that writes, runs, and tests code in controlled development environments
• Cursor – AI-powered code editor optimized for UI and end-to-end code generation workflows

Many coding AI tools are accessed through CLIs (command-line interfaces), APIs (application programming interfaces) and professinal development environments, which require basic coding and terminal skills to use.
