Hi Everyone,
Most agencies are still stuck using old methods. They spend weeks coding basic stuff while AI-first builders ship complete MVPs in the same time.
I've tried dozens of AI tools this past year. Most were useless. But 7 tools have completely changed how we build at BuildRush Agency.
Here's my exact AI stack:
Tool #1: Lovable (The Foundation Builder)
I start almost every client project in Lovable.
What I use it for:
ā¢ Build entire UIs with simple prompts
ā¢ Connect Supabase for user accounts and database in minutes
ā¢ Add Stripe payments without reading docs
ā¢ Include AI features powered by OpenAI
Real example: Last month I built a subscription app where the entire UI, user login, payment system, and dashboard were ready in 4 hours.
The secret is Lovable's built-in connections. No fighting with setup or API keys.
Tool #2: Cursor (The Refinement Tool)
Once the foundation is ready in Lovable, I move everything to Cursor for the advanced stuff.
What I handle in Cursor:
ā¢ Make UI components look perfect
ā¢ Add complex business logic
ā¢ Fix performance issues and clean up code
ā¢ Handle edge cases and errors
The Lovable ā Cursor workflow works great. Lovable gets you 80% there fast, Cursor handles the final 20% to make it ready for real users.
Tool #3: CodeRabbit (The Safety Net)
This automatically reviews my code and catches problems before clients see them.
How I use CodeRabbit:
ā¢ Get feedback while coding in Cursor
ā¢ Full code reviews on GitHub before merging
ā¢ Catch security issues early
ā¢ Find messy code that could cause bugs
It's like having an expert developer check every line of code. Clients never see buggy code because CodeRabbit catches it first.
Tool #4: ChatGPT (The Planning Helper)
This is my always-available product manager and tech advisor.
My go-to prompts:
ā¢ "Here's the client brief: [brief]. Generate a complete feature list for this MVP."
ā¢ "Plan the database structure for a [type] platform with these features: [features]"
ā¢ "Create user flows for [specific feature] that helps conversions"
ChatGPT turns unclear client ideas into clear technical plans. No more guessing what to build.
Tool #5: UX Pilot (The Design Speed Tool)
Most clients don't need a full design phase, but some want to see mockups first. UX Pilot handles this without slowing things down.
What it does:
ā¢ Generate wireframes from simple prompts
ā¢ Create detailed screens that match brand colors
ā¢ Learn design systems for consistent look
ā¢ Skip the endless design review meetings
I can go from client brief to approved designs in hours, not weeks.
Tool #6: Ideogram (The Visual Polish Tool)
Good design builds trust. Ugly MVPs don't convert, no matter how good they work.
How I use Ideogram:
ā¢ Generate great hero images that match the brand
ā¢ Create consistent visual assets across the platform
ā¢ Add professional polish to landing pages and dashboards
ā¢ Make MVPs look expensive
Clients always say our MVPs "look more professional than our main website."
Tool #7: Unicorn Studio (The Wow Factor Creator)
When clients need that impressive first impression, I use Unicorn Studio.
What makes it powerful:
ā¢ Edit 3D templates for any industry
ā¢ Add smooth animations without coding
ā¢ Turn basic hero sections into premium experiences in minutes
ā¢ Make MVPs look way more expensive than they are
Real example: I added a 3D animated hero to a fintech client's MVP. Their conversion rate jumped 34% because visitors thought "this company is serious." It took me 20 minutes to add.
Why this stack works:
Each tool does what it's best at:
ā¢ Lovable builds the foundation fast
ā¢ Cursor adds the complex logic and polish
ā¢ CodeRabbit keeps everything secure and clean
ā¢ ChatGPT handles strategy and planning
ā¢ UX Pilot creates designs quickly
ā¢ Ideogram adds visual polish
ā¢ Unicorn Studio brings landing pages to life
The results:
We deliver polished, ready-to-use MVPs in 21 days at BuildRush Agency. Our clients are testing ideas and getting to market while their competitors are still making wireframes.
This isn't just about speed - it's about giving founders the power to test ideas quickly and cheaply. The faster you can test, the faster you can win.
