I tested different AI coding agents with the same hard prompt.

The results? Surprisingly different.

Some shipped insane apps, while others needed quite some work.

Here are the results + prompts: 🧵 Image ✍️ Notes and Prompt:

- All the tools mentioned in this post are incredibly good. 
- These were just the results I got after one single prompt. 
- Results could vary significantly with follow-up prompts and/or redoing the experiment

Prompt: “Design a futuristic, visually stunning SaaS analytics dashboard — a Baremetrics-style metrics tool built for modern founders and teams. It should display key subscription metrics (MRR, churn, LTV, ARPU, growth rate, active users) with sleek, real-time visualizations and fluid transitions between views.
The UI should feel like a blend of Baremetrics and Apple Vision Pro — ultra-polished, lightweight, and high-tech. Use a dark-mode base (# 0E1117) with luminous neon accents (electric blue, violet, mint green) and soft glassmorphism effects on panels. All charts should animate on load — bar charts rising fluidly, pie charts rotating into place, and line graphs pulsing gently as they stream live data.
Incorporate smooth hover and tap interactions: tiles expand, tooltips fade in, and section switches slide with spring-like animations. The sidebar should be minimal but elegant — just icons with glowing states, and optional labels on hover.
Typography should use a modern sans-serif like Satoshi, Geist, or Space Grotesk, with bold 28–32px headers and subtle glowing sublabels. Use soft shadows, rounded cards, and smart use of negative space to keep the layout breathable.
Key sections: Overview (MRR, Users, Churn) Revenue Breakdown (Plans, Locations, Sources) Customer Insights (Cohorts, LTV, Retention) Forecasting (Growth curves, risk alerts)
Everything should feel alive — think motion design meets finance UI. It’s Baremetrics, reimagined for the AI-native, visually obsessed generation.
