The Breakpoint

The Latest

Five of the most interesting recent dev tool (or dev tool-adjacent) launches on the site. 

• Vapi is an all-in-one platform for developers building AI voice agents. It handles everything from call routing to latency optimization and lets you go from prototype to production without juggling APIs.

• Octomind MCP generates Playwright tests from natural language prompts. You tell it what the app should do, it runs a headless browser, watches what happens, and turns that into real test coverage. No brittle selectors, no test files.

• Prompteus is a no-code platform for building, deploying, and scaling AI workflows that don’t fall apart in production. It supports multi-LLM orchestration, adaptive caching, and built-in guardrails—making it easier to stay fast, compliant, and under budget.

• Kilo Code is a VS Code extension that lets you chat with your code and it actually listens. It can edit files, run commands, and move fast across your repo without asking for hand-holding. Built to feel like a dev that lives in your editor.

• new.email by Resend lets you build cross-platform emails using natural language. You start with a prompt, tweak the template, and test how it looks across platforms—all without touching HTML or wrangling inline styles

AI isn’t perfect — yet

Even a great AI dev hits its limits—and that’s what this thread’s about.

Hyuntak Lee asked where Cursor couldn’t quite deliver, and the responses were honest but thoughtful. One dev had it suggest restarting a project entirely, only to later fix the bug with a few tweaks. Another said Cursor feels like a super capable intern—great most of the time, but occasionally too eager.

A few mentioned edge cases, context loss, or chain-reaction edits that solved one thing and broke three others. But no one was rage quitting. It was more like: this tool is powerful, but sometimes you still need to double check its work.

Building with Cursor? This thread’s full of tips for where to keep a closer eye.
