After testing, I believe that Kombaico is a pretty good AI agent for frontend work.
They support 25+ programming libraries and have an IDE extension for:
VS Code
Cursor
Windsurf
Trae
Well worth checking out, take a look at the platform 👉 kombai.com

When benchmarking Kombaico against other agents on real Figma-to-React conversions.
Here’s what stood out 👇
- Higher design fidelity
- Fewer TypeScript + lint errors
- Code integrates with your repo (no Frankenstein folders)
- Way faster than manual handoff

AI is transforming everything, and now it’s coming for the browser.
Been using AI-native browsers like Comet, ChatGPT Atlas, Zen and Dia.
Browsers are becoming AI sidekicks that think about context, automate, and help you think and build faster.

The great thing about Kombaico is that it doesn’t just copy the design.
It understands it:
- Reads Figma files
- Extracts assets + structure
- Generates clean, React code
- Works in your IDE with no extra tool switching
It’s basically the "frontend brain" your IDE never had.

AI coding tools have grown pretty fast
So a few months ago, I received early access to Verdent Deck
It enabled me to run several AI agents at once, meaning faster build times, automating smarter and writing cleaner code

TanStack Start is a new full-stack framework for React that's an alternative to Next.js and Remix. And in this tutorial, Andrew walks you through how to get started with it. You'll use it to build a CRUD app along with TanStackDB and add RxDB integration, too.

Most "AI coding tools" struggle with frontends.
Coding agents = great at logic, messy with UI
Figma to code = good for prototypes, not production
Kombai is different; it's a domain-specialised AI agent built for the frontend, understands components, layout, CSS, and your code.

Unpopular opinion, but for real, once you get good with TypeScript, it's hard to go back to JavaScript. TypeScript types feel like a huge upgrade, for example. Fewer bugs in production, the codebase is more scalable.

I discovered Cosine AI a while back; it's great for projects.
It's like a senior dev on your team who actually understands your codebase, regardless of whether it's legacy or large.
Here's what happened when I let it work on a real feature in a Personal CRM app 🧵

Verdent is like having a senior coding assistant inside VS Code or as a desktop app.
