Pro Tip: If APIs are your daily bread, pair your favorite AI coding companions with Apidog — the all‑in‑one platform for API design, mocking, test...

I really like how this breaks down AI coding companions beyond just autocomplete. As someone who switches between VS Code, JetBrains, and cloud IDEs, having the right AI assistant for the context makes a huge difference. I’ve personally found that tools like ChatGPT or Cursor are great for multi-file reasoning, while Copilot still shines for quick inline suggestions. Pairing them with something like Apidog for API management seems like a smart workflow—I might try that next time.
Kiro and Kilo Code are missing. Both of which are brilliant in their own ways.
Love the emphasis on workflow fit. My takeaway: pick one companion for your pain point (docs, tests, cloud), then layer Apidog to keep API design → mock → test → docs in sync.
Well said. My starter pack: Copilot (speed) + Apidog (API truth) + Snyk/DeepCode (safety). Then add Cursor for larger refactors when needed. Curious what others start with!
Windsurf and cursor are the same, yet you described them differently?
Loved the “AI Coding Companions” framing. Curious: which tools do you trust for multi-file refactors without breaking tests?
Great question! For multi-file refactors, Cursor’s multi-file context + tests generated by Qodo Gen has been the most reliable combo for me. I still run the suite in CI before merging.
The Pro Tip about pairing AI with Apidog hit home. Anyone using AI to auto‑generate API tests and then validating in Apidog?
Yes! I often draft tests with AI (Qodo Gen or Copilot chat), then validate flows in Apidog using mocked environments + chained scenarios. It keeps spec → test → docs aligned.
JetBrains AI Assistant feels most “native” to me. If you’ve tried both Copilot and JetBrains AI in IntelliJ, which wins for Kotlin?
For Kotlin, JetBrains AI feels more “in flow” in IntelliJ, especially for refactors. Copilot is fantastic for quick completions. I keep both, but default to JB AI in Kotlin projects.
