Greg Isenberg’s Ultimate AI List: From Idea to Execution (and Why I Love It)

You know that feeling when you stumble on something actually useful online?
That was me this week when I saw Greg Isenberg drop this List of AI Tools to Go From Startup Idea to Execution.

Greg isn’t just another AI influencer — he’s one of the sharpest minds when it comes to community-driven startups and design that sells.
When Greg talks, founders listen.

This list? It’s not just random links.
It’s a startup playbook, showing exactly how to go from idea in your head → product in the world — using AI at every step.

Step 1: Find Your Next Big Idea

1. ideabrowser (free) — A community-signal feed of validated startup ideas. Skip the brainstorming; start with what’s already trending.
2. wisprflow — Speak your idea into existence. Literally. Voice-to-prompt for startup brainstorming.

Step 2: Research, Design & Prototype

3. claude code — Spawn sub-agents that design, research, and even write code for you.
4. bolt / lovable / replit — Build your prototype with AI-assisted code and instant hosting.
5. lindy ai — Drag-and-drop AI workflows for non-developers.
6. string.dev — Type one sentence, ship a workflow (think “Zapier minus zaps”).

Step 3: Build Agents & Automations

7. vapi — One-click voice agents for customer feedback, lead capture, or sales calls.
8. cursor — An AI-first code editor with in-built agents that understand your project context.
9. arcads — Generate ad creatives, copy, and targeting strategies from a single prompt.
10. reelfarm — Create faceless AI videos to promote your product in seconds.

Step 4: Develop, Test & Optimize

11. ideabrowser (starter/pro) — Optimized prompts for LLMs + pain points mined from Reddit.
12. code rabbit — A pull-request copilot for reviews, fixes, and refactors.
13. hologram — Spin up synthetic users to stress-test your product flows.
14. ampcode — The fastest agent command-line interface (CLI) for devs.

Step 5: Understand Your Users

15. surfboard — AI cohort analysis to detect user “aha” moments from day one.
16. productlane — Turns user feedback threads into prioritized AI-driven roadmaps.
17. synthflow — Create realistic voice-overs for demos and product launches in seconds.
18. anima — Convert Figma designs into on-brand coded components (“vibe coding”).
19. Julius AI — AI data analyst that gives you instant product and marketing insights.

Step 6: Grow & Monetize

20. Superwall — Test and deploy paywalls instantly without updating your mobile app.
21. Poppy AI — A visual AI ads creator. Think Canva + Conversion Magic.
22. Flux AI — Perfect for placing your product with AI-generated visuals and avatars.
23. Gemini — Watches videos and performs tasks based on them. Like a visual assistant.
24. Reddit Answers — AI that turns Reddit discussions into pure content inspiration.
25. Runway ML — Generate product demo videos from text descriptions.
26. Gamma AI — Create lead magnets and presentations (not S-tier yet, but getting there).

Why Gregs List Slaps

Greg didn’t just compile tools — he built an AI startup roadmap.
It starts with what to build (ideabrowser), moves through how to build it (Claude, Bolt, Lindy), and ends with how to scale it (Surfboard, Julius, Runway ML).

Basically, if you’re a solo founder or small team, this is the closest thing to having a 10-person AI-powered startup team.
