Most teams rush to pick AI tools before they really know what they need them for. 🤖 And then they wonder why things don’t quite fit together. After seeing a lot of AI projects up close, I’ve realized something simple, not all tools solve the same kind of problem. Some help you build features, others help you connect everything behind the scenes. Think of it like this: 𝗧𝗼𝗽 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 – where you actually build and ship things. Assistants, CI/CD, testing, monitoring. Tools like GitHub Copilot, CircleCI, or Cursor live here. 𝗕𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗲𝗿 – the foundation that keeps everything running. Agent frameworks, vector databases, and evaluation systems. That’s where LangChain, Pinecone, or LangSmith fit in. If your goal is to write software with AI help, focus on the top layer. If you are building AI products, you’ll need both. Choosing the right tools starts with understanding what layer you are actually working in. That’s where clarity beats complexity. Which tools have made the biggest difference for your team lately? 🤔 #AI #Innovation #SoftwareDevelopment #AIDevelopment #Automation #MSiHub

2wWhen you are at the start of building, would you say frameworks are important, or is it easier to prototype and test without frameworks (naive memory managememt, context engineering etc)?
