Cursor vs. Lovable: An engineer's verdict on AI dev tools for crypto

Welcome back to Seed for Thought 🌱

In our second episode, we sat down with Robin from Avail — a Developer Relations Engineer helping shape modular infrastructure through Avail’s data availability layer and Nexus, a zk-powered verification hub that unifies rollups and simplifies the multichain experience.

Seed for Thought is our ongoing series with builders, creators, and thinkers working at the crossroads of AI and crypto. We share full conversations and pull out highlights to spark new ideas across the community.

In our conversation with Robin, we dug into:

• How he uses AI in his workflow (Cursor, doc parsing, code scaffolding)
• Whether he’d trust an AI agent to move funds
• His stance on being pro-AI (or not) in crypto
• Where AI is most useful onchain today (security, yield discovery, docs)
• Thoughts on InfoFi + amplify platforms
• Why no-code site builders like Lovable still fall short next to tools like Cursor
