Startup CEOs Use AI Tools For Work
Three AI startup CEOs in San Francisco told Business Insider how they personally use generative and developer-facing AI tools in work and life. They reported using vibe coding for product design and diagnostics at Together AI (which operates tens of thousands of GPUs), using Glean to generate rapid proposals, and employing Lovable, Replit, Cursor and ClaudeCode to speed workflows. The executives say AI often replaces routine human tasks.

Scoring Rationale
Practical, tool-specific founder anecdotes drive relevance and usability, but anecdotal, single-source reporting limits generalizability and impact.
