What are you using as a Bruno alternative for AI API workflows?

Hey everyone, Lately I’ve been spending more time building small AI apps and testing different inference endpoints from Hugging Face, and it made me rethink my API workflow a bit. I originally used Bruno because it’s lightweight, local-first, and easy to keep in Git. A lot of developers still seem to like it for that exact reason. But once I started juggling: * multiple model endpoints * auth tokens * mock APIs * shared collections * generated docs it became harder to manage everything cleanly across projects. Recently I tested Apidog and what I found useful was having API testing, docs, mocking, and OpenAPI management together instead of stitching multiple tools together manually. There are already a few discussions around combining AI tooling with API workflows too. Not trying to start a “best tool” debate honestly — just curious what people here are using nowadays for AI/API-heavy projects: * Bruno * Apidog * Postman * Hoppscotch * Insomnia * custom scripts Especially interested in workflows that work well with rapid experimentation around model APIs.
