A few weeks ago, I launched Awesome AI Coding Tools — a curated list of the most powerful AI tools for developers.
In just the first week, the repo earned 100+ stars, quickly growing into a go-to resource for devs looking to level up their workflows with AI. It’s been exciting to see contributions, shoutouts, and new tools added by the community.
But that was just the beginning.
🎯 Why I Moved the Repo to AI For Developers
Originally hosted under my personal account (tokyo-dal), the repo has now officially moved to:
👉 github.com/ai-for-developers/awesome-ai-coding-tools
This move is more than just a rename — it’s the start of a broader initiative: AI For Developers.
So, why move it?
- Scalability: I’m building more than a list — I’m building a hub for AI-powered development tools, guides, and community.
- Credibility: An organization-level repo signals this is an open, growing project — not just a solo side hustle.
- Community-first vision: I want to make room for contributors, maintainers, and AI-curious developers to shape the future of this resource.
🛠 What’s Changing?
Nothing breaks.
Thanks to GitHub's redirect magic, all links from the old repo still work — stars, forks, issues, everything carries over.
But here's what’s coming next:
✅ More frequent updates: New tools added weekly
✅ Categories & tags: To make discovery easier
✅ Starter kits & templates: Get devs up and running fast
✅ Open contribution guidelines: So anyone can help improve the list
✅ Community discussions: Via GitHub Discussions and maybe Discord?
🌐 About the AI For Developers Project
This repo is just the first piece of the puzzle.
I’m working on launching AI For Developers as a platform — a home for:
- AI-powered dev tool reviews & comparisons
- Practical tutorials (from testing to debugging with AI)
- Real-world use cases
- A growing developer community

🤝 How You Can Help
If you’ve used a cool AI tool that’s not in the list — submit a PR!
If you’re building one — add it!
If you just want to stay in the loop — star the repo, follow the org, and join the conversation.
And if you’ve found value in the list so far, I’d love it if you shared it with your network.
Let’s build the future of AI-powered development — together.

AI-powered tools are rewriting the way developers work, and projects like this make it so much easier for devs to stay ahead.
On a similar note, we’ve been working on something that blends AI and blockchain to give developers a whole new playground, a platform where AI runs directly on-chain, with zero external servers and full transparency. It’s built for scalability and trust, which I think could complement resources like this beautifully.
Would love to connect and see how we can share ideas or collaborate to make these tools even more powerful for the dev community!
