My AI Stack
Currently, I use three AI coding tools: Cursor, Claude, and Pi Agent. And this page is a quick overview of my current AI coding setup.
Coding tools
I use Claude Code almost entirely for design and frontend work, and Cursor is my daily driver for everything else. Pi Agent fills the gap for side projects and experiments where I use cheaper open-source models like latest DeepSeek and Kimi models (nowadays using Cursor's Composer 2.5 as well, via pi-cursor-sdk extension).
| Tool | Role |
|---|---|
| Claude Code | Frontend design and UI work, mostly (latest model) |
| Cursor | Daily drive for everyday coding, debugging tasks (Composer 2.5, mostly) |
| Pi Agent | For side projects (DeepSeek and Kimi) and scraping – full setup |
Subscriptions
I pay for the following AI tools as of now:
| Provider | Plan | Monthly |
|---|---|---|
| Cursor | Pro+ | $60 |
| Anthropic | Claude Max | $100 |
| DeepSeek (API) | Pay-as-you-go | ~$5–10 |
| Kimi (API) | Pay-as-you-go | ~$2–5 |
| Total | ~$167–175/mo |
I don't use AI for writing and only use it for coding, and maybe for a few other tasks like graphics design, etc.
