Guys, this is a 55-minute class. Save it, download it if you can. The instructor is explaining really important stuff that you don’t come across every day. It’s super useful and will help you develop your ideas for future AI apps.
@@franknillard Would love to see what kind of technologies we can use to build a website. I use Swift for iOS app development with Cursor but I want to build web apps as well. Like a mini CRM for my production line to plan production with AI (by using Google's free API) and a local AI Chatbot which is connected with WhatsApp or Slack so I can chat with my company data while on the road.
Awesome content. I have been searching for a video that can teach me the entire process of developing a project using a cursor. This video is a perfect choice. Thank you!!
Sir, you have literally saved my life. I was so insanely inefficient with trying to build my simple app and now I know why. AGENT mode is god tier! Deep into drafting my instruction.md file 🙌
Awesome video! Thanks for all the info! Here’s what I’d do differently :) based on what I’ve learnt. 1: Using the notepad feature to store all of these instructions and everything is much better as it localises them all to the notepads menu - this means none of your internal development instruction files or PRD documents will get committed to your GitHub repo - they will instead stay in the IDE’s project session. 2: based on my experience, to save you time from going to Anthropic to have it format your o1 message, you’ll find that when you copy the entire message from o1, when you paste it, it will be in markdown format - it just means you have to delete its intro and outro jargon.
Hey; Point 1 makes sense, will have a look at that. I realised Point 2 as I was uploading this video haha. Thanks for your comment, your feedback means a lot!
i successfully made it to the authentication screen using clerk and logged into my web app through otp. Was a surreal experience . You have explained this perfectly to the T especially the files documentation part and not depending solely on the editor for the files was a game changer it took me around 2 hrs to do so
Hey! Thank you for your comment. I love reading comments like these, knowing that I made a difference into someone's day. Now, it's time to finish the web app! Best of luck!
Great video, my biggest learning was, first do proper requirements engineering and then start to code. You just have a way faster feedback cycle with AI and thats what it was all about. Something whe theoretically should have done in the past, but forgot about in the "Agile Age". Great to see that AI will make this clear to us again. Remember the golden rule of computer science, "shit in / shit out".
Thank you for the video , top stuff . I noticed in your rules for AI you have a line asking it to refer to perplexity, that’s a great idea , have you seen it improves your results ?
Its ironic, but I have started adopting a flow very similar to this for new projects and I find it works a little smoother. I try to spend some time putting together docs that explain functionality and system design, road map up front. Its then a little bit more predictable when you ask Cursor to make changes.
The idea that a non-coder/programmer would be comfortable doing this workflow and all the debugging you did in the later part of the video is pretty funny. 😅 Anyway, as a working programmer I really enjoyed the video, very useful! Thank you. 🙏🏻
Hahaha, I think the debugging is an essential part to building anything in code! You have a to be comfortable getting errors, that's where you learn the most! On a sidenote, thank you for the comment and support, means a lot.
lol isn’t this how lovable and bolt work at the moment ? they are basically cursor agents ??? this is wild lala land stuff haha 😆 it is awesome how i am a non coder guy currently learning about these agents 🤯
Yes! Lovable and bolt work like this, but Cursor is a VS Code fork, which makes it more familiar to code in! As a non-coder you can definitely learn about these agents, yes! Basic Python concepts is something that I suggest you to learn though.
Do you recommend for exemple, create an MVP app on bolt/lovable, to be fast, and then open in Cursor for maintaince and updates? Or this can confuse Cursor in someway?
Hey, welcome back Matt! Glad to talk to you again!! :) Regarding the community; there's already a TONNE of interest. I want to make sure I have everything in place before I launch it so that I can provide as much value as I can! It's coming real soon though, stay tight! Regarding the tools you mentioned; I think Relevance and Dumpling are amazing tools! Relevance is fully reliant on LLMs, which has its pros and cons but nevertheless it definitely does the job if prompting is good! Dumpling is pretty cool, and enables so many powerful workflows within Make.com. Do you want me to do a video about them?
Yeah! I tried to see how long it would take to build it using minimal human input, and I can safely say that it does require some good prompting knowledge! Yeah, definitely, I will note Windsurf to my to do list. Thank you for your comment :)
I dream of a system where I could have multiple agents with strict roles. I could first create the masterplan with user story with a PM agent. Then follow that with requirements engineer agent and create use cases. Then involve the first set of dev agents to create tests and mock data to pass them. Then let the devs loose, have them iterate with tests while QA agent improves tests and creates more of them. Devs would create actual PR/MRs and the whole team would review them. Doing AI development now is annoying, if the project gets larger you end up babysitting so so so much. You find yourself constantly asking the agent "why did you do that?" and it replies sorrysorry you're right blahblah. I wish I could have more agents with boundaries.

Ios swift app tutorial would be amazing

Nice!! 🤗Please do part 2!!!! Its rare this type of content 💪

That's why there is an option called git ignore right 🤔

100%!! Because of AI, now the power is in being very good at defining what you want! Fully agree with the shit in shit out as well haha

This info is excellent so thank you!
You are so welcome!
Most informative video and channel yet and I knew it since the first one I saw
Hey, can't express how much I love reading comments like yours. Thanks a lot, really.

Yes! Well thought, planning in todays AI age is crucial. Keep it going!!!

super content. thank you very much for this.
Hey! Thanks for your comment, I am very happy that you enjoyed your content :)
Honestly Cline as VS Code extension seems to be superior, so what are your thoughts?
Haven’t tried Cline to be honest, got used to the way Cursor works. Do you want me to make a video about it and my thoughts on it?
@@franknillard Yes Please
Can you provide your PRD file? So we can use it as example when prompting to an gpt. Thanks btw to this very helpful explanations
Great content; thank you for sharing.
Hey, thanks a lot for your comment!!!
bravo perfect explaining
Thanks a lot :)
Awesome stuff!!
Thank you Will! Means a lot :)

Swan Lake on the background added a fanciness to the video. GL to my fellow composers!
Man of culture I see ;) Thanks for the comment 🫶
Do you recommend for exemple, create an MVP app on bolt/lovable, to be fast, and then open in Cursor for maintaince and updates? Or this can confuse Cursor in someway?
Hi! I think it is possible. Create the visuals on bolt/lovable and then build the functionality on Cursor. Makes sense!
for front end cursor it's great, but i feel windsurf do better thing when it comes to logic
I can do a video about them if you want?
When is that community coming? 😊What do you think about relevance AI and Dumpling AI?

@franknillard yes please, but I think n8n has wider capabilities and is cheaper, it can do everything those two do right ?
This is huge
Thank you, I love reading comments like yours, makes my day. So happy to know I was able to help you :) Now, back to building!! ;)
13:30 I'm shocked!!! Can you please "try" the Windsurf Editor to build this app?
Yeah! I tried to see how long it would take to build it using minimal human input, and I can safely say that it does require some good prompting knowledge! Yeah, definitely, I will note Windsurf to my to do list. Thank you for your comment :)
Your instruction.md file should be renamed to .cursorrules as part of their documentation to give context to the Cursor AI Agent.
Ai json concept and yes I agree
True! That makes everything a bit more streamlined. Thanks for spotting that out!
I have a Github VS Code/Cursor extension to publish to Github with one click and for other commit too.
A 3rd party extension or your own?
Pretty cool! Your extension saves a lot of time!
Why do I get the sense that the first half of this video was RUSHED?!
Not sure what you mean?
Can you please do one for Windsurf AI?
Second person that asked; will deffo write it on my To-Do list, thanks for your comment!!
@@franknillard Thanks mate
LOL, I wondered where you learned this
Jason AI?
its getting worse and worse wover the time i switched to windsurf
I see! What do you like about Windsurf?

Yeah, I dream the same to be honest! 2025 will be full of surprises that might solve these problems!
