I beta tested IDX and really liked it. I've never been a fan of development environment in the browser though. I like my full stack, repo to release JetBains eco-system (including their documentation creator WriterSide). The problem with IDX: all files are stored in the cloud. This means you can be shut out of your intellectual property (IP) in a second, and if you're working for a company that claims the IP is theirs (even a portion of it), you could be shut out of it until the court case is over, which can take years. Cloud is great as a backup, but I would never trust it as the sole copy, no matter how many actual copies it holds. Just my opinion, but as a 30+ year developer, so yes, I have skin in the game. I have code copy on my laptop, my desktop, my server, and in the cloud. They are all sync'd and available from anywhere. I just like to be self-secured, while using the cloud as a backup. If Google built an IDX IDE, I'd take a look. Thanks for the video.
So which code editors can browse the web? I mean which ones have a big enough context window to use online knowledge base to modify code. Or is there a way to build a specific agent, that the coding assistant can turn to, that has that documentation in knowledge base. (It is quite often when I would like to share documentation with the assistant for implementing new elements in the same message , and it is sometimes a hassle to prepare a correctly formatted documentation)
Cursor has a web crawler built in. You could type @docs and give it any url and it would crawl all the pages there to build a local knowledge base. Cline also has a web crawler and browser. Give them a try and see which one you like.
Many IDEs now have built in AI assistants which have access to documentation. I use JetBrains IDEs, and their AI assistant is available in JS, CSS, SQL, Python, and more.
You build it in the cloud and then deploy it to the cloud. So, yes...built with Google probably only deploys to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). You'd just be in a dev environment though, so you wouldn't need a domain name until the project is complete, but then yes everything will have to run on Google cloud tools (DB etc.) GCP is good though. Has Vertex AI for a start, which is amazing.
I'm noob. Can this create projects from the beginning? I asked gemini to create me an app using flutter. But gemini is saying this: "I cannot directly access or modify files on your local machine. I operate within this text-based environment and don't have the capability to interact with your file system directly. My previous responses provided the code; you'll need to copy and paste it into the appropriate files in your project.". I'm I doing something rong? I thought this were like bolt or v0...
Gemini is an LLM. LLMs are generalist and are useless at creating anything complex. LLMs like Gemini are for the masses, and we the developer are a tiny minority compared to the masses. What you need to look into is Agentic AI. I built a workforce as a test a couple of years ago. I built a small language model (SML) that was trained on design and layout. I then built one that was trained on JavaScript and interactions. I also built one that wrote Python v3. I then built one that was a fantastic researcher. Didn't do anything practical but could research anything in depth and output the data in many different formats. Finally, I built an AI agent that understood all of the complexities of managing a team or workers in an IT environment. Then I built a communication framework for the manager agent to talk to the other agents and told it what I needed. All of the agents have full access to the web, and full access to each other. So, if the JS agent created a button and needed an icon, it had the designer agent make it. This entire thing is called Agentic AI. Google, MS, IBM, and all of the big companies have been building them for the last couple of years. You don't start a company and never hire any employees because one person in the company knows how to do it all. You break the work up and you hire specialists. Those specialists are trained on their specialty only and then use LLMs as resources. My workforce built me a complete 3-page website, graphics and all. It was only an experiment, and I am far from the only person doing this. If you look into Agentic AI, you'll see there are frameworks now for building agents. So, you don't have to do it from scratch like I did. You still need a decent grasp of Python because, well that's the modelling language of choice. It is a LOT of fun! Give it a try.
VERY IMPORTANT : hello thank for the video , but i wanna ask you a question : is it possible to edit a already made flutter app like an app i buy from codecanyon is it possible to edit it with an ia code editor like"cursor or windsurf or Google's Project IDX " i already buy an flutter app template from codecanyon but i dont really know to code with flutter so i wanna upload the flutter code source on the ai IDE code editor like "windsurf or Google's Project IDX "to modify it with prompt . is it possible
Well, to clone an entire website you'd need access to the server running the site. The backend is just that, on the backend and inaccessible. As for IOS aps, you'd still need an IOS dev license and AI-powered Apple apps, and that methodology doesn't exist outside of the Apple campus.
Am i crazy or should windsurf be able to install something like crewai with no problems? Ive put wayyyyy too many hours into trying get that working...like legit using gpt to walk windsurf step and it still failing
I just guess why that is: so.. did u believe IT? After all, its stats, isn't it... an amplifying mirror. That.. is going to be hard for anyone really. Every time one asks, one has to expect. Better frame the question well, bc with great power... etc ;) Personally I fought with gemini every damn time I tried to use it. And with bing. I like to ask em this though: should the models not pay US, bc i always... always end up teaching the thing, trying hard even, so it maybe... just maybe, not do something it will regret, let alone useful to me :) And that, i believe, is worth a whole lot.
If you consider the fact that this runs on the cloud It does beat all these local IDEs by a longshot, because you can't really run these without internet. It would be cool if there was compatibility for locally ran LLMs for these IDEs because cloud versions are going to make them defunct. But then again, there's many downsides that I'm not taking into consideration here, such as team ecosystems that would otherwise be difficult to integrate this google IDX, mainly because it's not compatible with many VScode apps. But what do I know, I'm just a skid xd
I run all of my tools locally. I have multiple LLMs installed on my server, and even if my internet was out, I could still work uninterrupted. IDX will not even load the interface if you have no internet.
me: what llm are you Gemini: I'm Gemini, a large language model built by Google. me: which version Gemini I don't have a version number. I'm constantly being updated. me: are you pro ultra or something else Gemini: I don't have different versions or tiers like "Pro" or "Ultra". I am a single model that is continuously updated. me: where can i get your how you perform in eval tests Gemini: Unfortunately, I don't have access to specific evaluation test results or performance data that's publicly available. Information about model performance is usually kept internal for various reasons, including ongoing development and competitive considerations.
🎉 2025🎉 No more learning to code-just better prompting and understanding the tool. It's like using a calculator without needing to know how it works. Amazing! We’re going to be millionaires now, haha 🤣
Never. You know we are easily 5 to 8 years away from being able to tell a machine what to do without watching every step it takes to make sure it's doing what is expected. Minimum 5 more years. I've been a software engineer for more than 30 years. A web developer for more than 20. An AI developer for the last 7. We are nowhere near ready to trust AI, unless you personally train and then fine-tune your own models. You know why they haven't cured cancer yet? It's an industry that makes companies hundreds of billions per year. Think how much money is made from the entire developer tools industry. They won't release AI that can completely work like a senior developer. Think how many people globally that would put out of work. 5-7 years minimum and that won't be from large companies.
I would like it if you compare any new IDEs with Cline and windsurf.
That way we can have a better idea.
Thank you.
Exactly. Cursor is great since it's well known. But... It's not as good as the other tools we are using now
@@chriscotton4207like which tooks?
It won't work because he's very principled and it makes his comparisons biased.
@@rousabout7578 which is great. articles and video that say: "what is better is up to you" are a total waste of time.

It doesn't work well with proxy😢
OMG! I was just looking into Project IDX right before watching this video, thank you, champ!

Wait, flutter is not paid to export apk ? Otherwise nice
Where can we deploy an app created with Project IDX out of the Google Cloud?
As devs, we tend to ask ourselves that kinds of questions. Maybe we should just wait for whatever it builds to just appear. All else is details
You build it in the cloud and then deploy it to the cloud. So, yes...built with Google probably only deploys to Google Cloud Platform (GCP).

Nice! Need to test it in real project
Is there anything that it does better than VS code and Windsurf?
It's free and is online.. So, can be accessed from anywhere and anything that has a browser.
@AICodeKing Nice. Hope it is going to be more useful for web based applications just like Google sheets is better over excel for web based usage.
