Different tools for different jobs - one stack.
The advantage isnโt โusing AIโ.
Itโs knowing which layer to use - and when.
Let's break it down. Excellent overview by Rakesh Gohel: โฌ๏ธ
๐ญ - ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ (๐ฐ๐ต๐ฎ๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐ฏ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐๐ฒ๐ฟ/๐ฎ๐ฝ๐ฝ):ย
โ Use it when the work is thinking in words. Itโs best at turning vague ideas into structure - drafts, summaries, plans, decisions. It gives you clarity and high-quality writing fast, but you still execute the work elsewhere.
Example use cases:
โฆ Turn messy notes into a 1-page brief with a recommendation
โฆ Rewrite a draft in your voice and tighten it by 30%
โฆ Create a decision memo: options, trade-offs, risks, next step
๐ฎ - ๐๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฑ๐ฒ ๐๐ผ๐ฑ๐ฒ (๐ฎ๐ด๐ฒ๐ป๐ ๐ถ๐ป ๐๐ผ๐๐ฟ ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐บ๐ถ๐ป๐ฎ๐น):
โ Use it when the work lives in a repo. It can navigate your codebase, edit across files, run commands, and iterate with feedback like a real pair programmer. It turns intent into working code changes you can test and review.
Example use cases:
โฆ Create a new application with real functionalities
โฆ Debug your existing database module safely
โฆ Generate a migration plan, implement it, and validate with checks

โ Use it when the work is workflows, not thinking. It shines on repetitive operations: organizing folders, extracting data, filling templates, moving things between tools. It turns multi-step busywork into a repeatable automation so you stop doing manual glue work.
Example use cases:
โฆ Extract tables from PDFs into a clean spreadsheet template
โฆ Rename, tag, and sort hundreds of files into a consistent taxonomy
โฆ Update a report pack weekly: pull inputs, clean data, export outputs
