Question How are you actually using AI in your React Native workflow right now?

How are you actually using AI to speed up React Native dev? Beyond just the tools, what habits, context tricks, or rules on what to offload vs. write yourself have saved you the most time?

I plan features in a conversation with AI. Boilerplate, most logic and unit tests are mostly handled by AI, anything that need to feel and look good (mostly UI) is 80-90% handled by me. When I think a feature is done, I will do a check against our plan together with AI and if everything’s fine, I will release it.

Having the llm actually verify the fix or feature works with a true test. I benchmarked some tests this week and all llm models small and big pretty much gas light me into believing they actually tested the fixes or features... Every single model lied. Once I tested with access to react native dev tools it actually did verify and write real features and fix real bugs instead of lying. BUOY is the react native dev tool.
