Two AI Coding Tools Cut Dev Time for Perplexity Teams from Days to Hours

17/07/2025

Perplexity AI’s engineers use both Cursor and GitHub Copilot, slashing prototyping time from days to just hours. CEO Aravind Srinivas says AI is now mandatory, with non-tech teams even tweaking iOS interfaces via screenshot prompts.

Key takeaways:

⚡ 2x AI power – Mixing tools for max efficiency

⏳ Prototyping in 1 hour (vs. 3-4 days)

🛠️ Non-tech teams ship UI changes with AI

⚠️ Trade-offs – New bugs, but speed wins

The bottom line? AI coding isn’t a crutch; it’s a productivity multiplier. But as adoption explodes (90% of teams now use AI), the real challenge is managing the speed/quality balance.

At GlenFlow, we’re seeing the same trend: devs aren’t picking one tool — they’re stacking them. Hybrid workflows = faster, leaner dev cycles.
