Facts

[@pioleonardorapirap7344]

I asked cursor, Claude Sonnet AI to build me many-to-many relationship for my app and it did create it. I learned from it and created my own based from the code given to me. I even let cursor-small explain it so I can understand it. I have to switch AI models as cursor-small and gpt-40-mini doesn't deduct to fast requests.

[@meejuneruado9517]

This dude is on fire to help, salute to you...more power.

[@kebab3n]

Nice to see cursor! 2 things tho 1 Its easier to just open the terminal in the editor, especially for begginners 2 You should not modify the lockfile

[@AwildaCisneros]

aitutorialmaker AI fixes this. Using Cursor AI for beginners.

[@swag6009]

Could you help clarify why I would choose to use Cursor AI over Claude AI? Cursor AI actually incorporates Claude 3.5, which is the same AI model available on their website. It even features a window for running basic code. Given these similarities, what makes Cursor AI particularly interesting or advantageous?

[@nickvanmaele8059]

When you ask Claude if it can generate code, it responds: "I appreciate your interest in using AI to assist with code generation. However, as an AI language model, I don't actually generate or compile code myself. I can provide guidance and explain concepts, but I can't directly create a fully functional application for you."

[@pseud0_cool]

Claude is the name of an LLM. Cursor is an IDE/text editor. Cursor leverages claude and/or gpt. The idea is to take those LLMs and merge them with an IDE for rapid development instead of going to claude or gpt directly. Cursor also has the ability to analyze you entire codebase for a project...This is basically leveraging the power of the LLMs and providing tools to use them in the most efficient way possible.

Awesome video Corbin I'm loving the video on Cursor! Oh and thanks so much for making the screen bigger for us blind folks. I had to laugh when you did that

[@kraei9799]

Would love to see you build a flutter project using cursor!

[@limit-breaker876]

What command should windows users for npm i?

[@Corbin_Brown]

I believe it's "npm install"

[@timattracts]

npm i works, you need node installed on your computer

[@powermyapps]

How do we start? In every video I watched on your channel, it feels like you are missing the start point. You are in index.js but how did you create it?

[@Corbin_Brown]

🤠

[@vuhoang5903]

So this is a separate editor, right? It is not a plugin like GH Copilot, so in order to use this, we need to use the editor itself, and we cannot use JetBrains or Visual Studio?

[@pseud0_cool]

Yea, completely separate editor...waaay more power than any plugins.

[@Chimmezirim]

Man! You really know your stuff💪

[@revolutionblockchain8338]

Awesome tutorial! Short and to the point! Thank you!

[@BransTiong]

I stopped learning coding because there was just too much to go through. I think i will jump back in here because its much easier to learn this way

[@ramo4uuuu]

U will learn nothing this way… u will just use english language to command cursor to do something. There is nothing to learn

[@Ihateteenagerstheyrecringe]

@@ramo4uuuu whats the right way to learn now that AI is here? serious question

[@fus3n]

lol you cant learn like this, all you will learn is prompting at best, programming is learnt through practice

[@QuantumRishi]

​​​@@fus3nyes, but I think there isn't need of now to go master the language to effectively do the code nowadays 😊

The Godaddy logo Ad before this video was funny as hell 😂😂😂

[@TheOceanLoader]

Umm what ad? You do know that ads are random? Also if you could part with some money, KZbin Premium has no ads.

[@johnparsons5010]

Looks like Cursor 0.44.11 for Mac no longer includes the (hidden folder) tutorial, instead virgin installation prompts to open a folder or shell with an existing project. Latest nodejs installed using defaults so if it's there, it's really sneaky about where it's hiding it.

[@dynamicskys1]

sorry but yu need to do a set up for dummies - there is no JS stuff in cursor tutor when i have opened it up? Please do a dummy version

[@Corbin_Brown]

Thanks for the feedback! From all the messages I have received, I plan on making another video on this topic and making it as simple as possible!

[@danthompson8309]

Thanks for video. How does the Ai code in cursor compare to Replit? Thanks so much

[@Tsero0v0]

Can we use it to create games in Unity?

[@pcgs_]

Heey, nice video Corbin 👏👏Could you share more videos like this one ? Maybe creating a landing page or some simple software from scratch? I'm using it on my personals projects and it so fast that I'm stuck in the middle because the ideas that I have :D

Bro this video sucks you say it's for people who don't know how to code and then you start jumping into all this jargon that a beginner wouldn't know. How do I just open it and start talking to it?

[@kushkushnir]

Awesome!! Thanks I got it going! Can you do one even more basic, how to start a project without using the tutor project, what files are needed, folders, etc. I got a little stuck trying to start one without using the tutorial. Finally, what files am I transferring to my webserver so I can access my program from anywhere on the web? Thanks!

[@Corbin_Brown]

Thanks for the feedback! Here is a video similar to what you described: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppuwoKJ7o994h9U From the feedback I have gotten to this point, I will look toward making a video that makes everything as simple as possible and shows every step!

[@MrErick1160]

Bro this is AMAZING. I was looking to get a bit more into coding in the context of AI. I was wondering for a week what was this window every dev has where we can see everything updated live. Amazing you unblocked me on a lot of aspects already. Wish you could do more videos of these!

[@AndrewSu180]

Why not use the integrated terminal to do the commands? Opens in the directory...

[@David.Murdoch]

Tried cursor for the first time today. It's is so limited, whats the point of an AI-based IDE if the AI can't even access the filesystem?! I asked to to re-organize a large directory and it responded that it can't because it can't read the directory: > I don't actually have the ability to access file systems directly. what is even the point then?!

[@senethys]

My question is what do I do if I built an app in Claude web page and I want to start using the Cursor workflow instead. As I can see now you have already split up your project into files, but that is not what Claude does (if you start there).

[@bellloiw]

very good materials and big thanks bro! no bad intentions but i do find ur speaking way resembles trump i meant the funny way haha thanks again😂

[@barackuse]

I like this style of quick, straightforward videos: no fluff or annoying music. Nicely paced. I am transitioning from Sublime(I like a lot) and VSS. I have high hopes for Cursor (I wish they named it something else; it is so hard to search on this). Current issues that are plaguing me are that all my Python scripts broke, and for some reason, Cursor does not locate any of the modules that I use in my codes. Any suggestions on how I can get Cursor to notice the modules, and is there a way that you can use pip from Cursor terminal?

[@sajjadhaqCC]

How can I copy and paste code into my existing cursor code?

[@LuisPatiño-r7h]

Why did you specify for the game to do it in 8 bits?

[@BoatRocker619]

Compare with vscode + copilot. Both are paid and how is cursor better or different

[@Nooooooname]

you need to pay more. lol

[@pseud0_cool]

Copilot cant analyze an entire codebase. Also, the LLMs gpt and claude) are fully integrated. Using a plugin limits both performance and available features.

[@MaschiTuts]

Cursor + VSCODE is an absolute killer kombo and way better than the other combo in my opinion.

[@jaysonp9426]

That hat immediately tells me everything I need to know...I'm in.

[@mattdelias]

This is amazing!

[@jkhhahahhdkakkdh]

Wait, so I have to pay for this as well? What we need is an open source code editor that can take your api keys and do the work

[@lenznerit]

Does it have an extension for Visual Studio 2022?

[@senileghandi]

I need some help here. I ran npm install and received hundreds of vulnerability errors, this is after freshly installing node.js. I don't have a clue how to fix this

[@nir.sandbank]

Thanks for making this video. IMO, this is mostly a tutorial for using IDE. Although you do show the Command+K capability, people who would like to use Cursor for actually building an app, would need an explanation for the objective of each step, not just instructions for how to execute each step, so they can apply it on their project, even if its different. I've been using Claude to code for the last year and I'm honestly not sure how to use cursor for my own projects. Is anyone familiar with another video for cursor beginners, which includes an overview of the Cursor features, capabilities, use cases, application of different frameworks, etc? Thanks!

When I first launched the app, it was there. I have made a video here showcasing how to make your first project: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ppuwoKJ7o994h9U

So weird that you still need to go into the terminal just to get a preview of what you’re doing.

[@c.lalnuntluanga3202]

Either I'm missing something or this doesn't seem much different to copilot, and it's more expensive.

[@peterkortvel]

You literally didn't explain how did you get a boilerplate react app in there at 0:58. My cursor was empty when I downloaded it.

It's a terminal window. Cursor ai has one build in. Just hit control + ~. or you use use Mac os terminal app instead.
