AI coding tools

AI that writes and fixes code. Claude has a full review; Manus has one too, though it’s built for whole tasks more than pure coding. Firebase Studio builds an app from a plain-language prompt in the browser, Replit lets you code in the browser with an AI helper, and Trae and Kilo Code are for when you already write code yourself. Every one I have on the site. The ones I’ve fully reviewed carry my verdict; the rest are older pages I’m bringing up to date.
