Quick Note

This list is likely not exhaustive — other CLI tools may exist that I've missed.

I haven't tried all alternatives extensively, but they exist for you to explore.

This workshop focuses exclusively on Claude Code, the tool I use daily and know best.

Pro Tip: Voice Dictation
Many developers now dictate instead of type when using agentic tools.
