Agent builder vs “Cursor for APIs” — which dev tool would you actually use?

Hey everyone, I’m building my next project and would really value your input. I’m exploring two directions — both designed for mid-to-senior technical builders: AI Agent Builder: Create complex, production-ready agents from plain text in minutes. Fully code-ownable, transparent (not a black box), and easily connectable to modern tools — even the latest YC startups with APIs. Cursor for APIs: A dev-first tool to connect to any API instantly. Just type “build a RAG system for…” and it suggests the best tools, then generates the right code and surfaces the latest docs — including niche APIs. Think of it as a fast, intelligent API library with copy-paste-ready code. Which of these would actually improve your workflow?
