You already have a coding assistant. This page is not a second Copilot. It is three tools for the jobs the assistant does not do: reviewing the other person's diff, pulling a site into something an agent can read, and letting people book time without a hero spreadsheet.

The three

  1. PR review: CodeRabbit. Sits on the pull request and writes the comments. Not a replacement for Claude Code or Cursor. Add it when the bottleneck is catching bugs in someone else's change. Context in best AI for coding.
  2. Web data for agents: Firecrawl. 10% off via the partner link on the review. Context if you want the other API in that job (25% off for six months).
  3. Booking: Cal.com. 20% off for a year. Calendly alternatives if you are leaving the incumbent.

That is the stack. Editor, review, data, calendar. The founder version with Granola and Dub is solo founder AI stack.

What I left out

A second chat model. A design tool. An SEO toy. Add Peec AI when you have pages worth citing.
