Had the same question when I read the release post. Naturally I took the ACP docs, Gemini CLI example and hacked together my own wrapper for Claude Code SDK to bridge it with Zed. It actually works and uses your Claude subscription.

Author here. I wrote this piece because I couldn't find a comprehensive technical overview that connected the foundations of AI agents (memory systems, planning capabilities, tool integration) with their current real-world applications and limitations. Most existing articles either focused purely on theoretical aspects or just listed use cases without diving into the technical architecture behind them. I synthesized findings from dozens of research papers and articles to create this overview.
Hey HN, I've been playing around with Cursor AI, v0, and the new kid on the block, Bolt.new, while building Vyce.app. There's a lot of buzz about Bolt.new being a 'Cursor & v0 killer', but from my hands-on experience, that's not really the case. Don't get me wrong, Bolt.new is cool, but it's not the be-all and end-all some are making it out to be. I break down what each tool is good at (and not so good at) based on actually using them in my work. Turns out, each one has its own strengths in the software development workflow.
For me Cursor and v0 can and will coexist. Cursor is helpful working at smaller pieces of code in a flow you are orchestrating actively, v0 and bolt are MVP/PoC makers that can't really help much if the project grows. I do think something similar to the mythical AI SWE will happen this decade and that may eat the market, but I don't think it will emerge from these tools.
I have been working on generative AI for coding for some time (building producta.ai now), and based on user research and beta testing, people prefer tools that are good at working on existing repositories and at handling complete features, even if later they need to review / update parts of the solutions. If one specific tool ends up eating the rest, it's probably going to start like something on these lines
Agree. v0 and Bolt are currently only good for prototyping. It lacks the granular control of a proper coding editor like Cursor. But they work well together as the feedback loop and barrier to start iterating on a rough idea is extremely low in v0 and Bolt compared to VSCode + GH Copilot or Cursor.
