I am actually trying something completely opposite. For a side project that I sometimes have to put on hold for a while I have a special session with chatgpt where we laid out a plan and it acts as a Project Manager (a micromanaging one). And I also have a tech-lead that advises me on technical issues setup in claud. This allows me to sit down at this project even with low energy and just be a monkey that does whatever the PM tells me to do in a way that the tech lead tells me to do
This is awesome! I totally agree that learning AI, LLMs, coding - no matter the industry - is important. I believe people that learn how to incorporate this tech into work flows will be at a significant advantage over those that don’t.
This is the best one of these I’ve seen, and there’s about a 1000 lurking in any search that mentions Cursor. Mic is great, his thoughts and approach on the planning items is everything my instinct was telling me and just hadn’t heard anyone with experience like his say yet. You could bring him on for a monthly guest series to check-in on the latest in AI app dev for non-coders - and not run out of new stuff to cover for the next 2yrs.
Best beginner cursor video by far with planning and system instruction etc and its not even an ai or coding channel, excellent job guys, rasmic excellent teacher brother, you other more relevant accounts up your game people
Coming from a design background, I automatically just design all my screen explicitly before starting to build out in Cursor. This has significantly made the apps i build better and the whole process much simpler because it knows and I know what I am looking for. There are times when I have to tweak designs when building to maintain or update certain functionalities but overall it is a seamless process and I have a lot of fun bringing the ideas in my head into life.
This is awesome, for many people that dont have software development background. The process he was talking about is what SDLC covers. In corporate the part he started with would be done by business analyst and product managers. On a small project one person is doing everything, but Ai is really making it possible to build a full product with jus two people at most..
What a pod fellas....Great work there!!!! As a junior dev i have gained insight into issues that were very confusing and worrying at times... Now i feel much comfortable and pumped to continue in this beatiful journey....Please and Thank you make more of thisssss
This was gold! Thanks @rasmic. I running my venture into Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality space over a decade. Being a founder, got into so many other responsibilities that I left coding few years ago. This video excited me to develop VR app with Unity and Meta Quest / Apple Vision Pro
Awesome content as always Greg! This is the future of rapid prototyping. As a product manager I've been playing with Cursor but this workflow takes it to the next level. Interactive prototypes are basically dead now that you can actually render low fidelity beta versions for user testing or experimentation.
Another great guest and helpful video. I learned to program BASIC in a college course, before the first MAC was released. I tried Assembly on an AppleIIGS 6502. That didn't go too well. I did continue with BASIC and taught VB through VB6 at a community college. Learned a bit of C and Python to help mentor high school students in robotics. I've been diving back in with no code and AI tools recently. As I say, I'm older than the internet, but this stuff is fun and keeps the cobwebs of the brain.
This is a great intro! Thank you so much for this video- as a non-tech person, I have been itching to jump on cursor & I did. But I couldn't learn unless my screen looked exactly same as the tutorial. This gives a foundational groundwork needed for success.
I feel like I'm exactly the target audience for this content. A 'Cursor' newbie who can plan a service or be proficient with Figma, but not with coding, that's me. I found it easy to understand and didn't get bored in the slightest during the 40 minutes. My only suggestion would be to add vetted English subtitles so that more people can consume content like this. It would help non-English speakers understand exactly what you're talking about. Thanks to both of you for sharing this content.
OK Greg, I have to give it to you.. When I first started watching your videos I thought the theme song was cheesy. But now I’m singing along and get all excited when it starts playing . It works! 😁
Definetely agree on the starting with design advice. Even before Figma, having an initial information architecture (what does my data look like, how do all data tables or documents relate to each other), and an understanding of basics of UI/UX (effecting UI design and interaction patterns) is a really strong starting point. Even before that start with a list of requirements, use these to design your UI/UX and data, map that to a mockup (Figma or otherwise) and then map that to a logical project structure ( what tech stack/libraries do I need, how should I structure my project and files). Then armed with all these artifacts start your cursor project. For these earlier design stages, any of the chatbot AI's can also be of tremendous help as brainstorm partners or teachers
Wow, this video is pure gold! Greg and Rasmic (Micky), you guys are killing it with this content. As someone diving into AI and development, seeing Cursor in action is mind-blowing. It's crazy how quickly you can prototype and build with these tools. A few thoughts: 1. The rapid prototyping workflow is game-changing for product development. 2. Love how you emphasized planning before coding - crucial advice for newbies and pros alike. 3. Rasmic's explanations were super clear - definitely subscribing to his channel! Quick question: Any tips for integrating this approach into existing development workflows? I'm curious how teams are balancing AI tools with traditional coding practices. Keep these coming, Greg! Your content is always ahead of the curve and incredibly valuable for anyone in tech or business. Looking forward to more deep dives into AI tools and their practical applications. #AIinDev #CursorAI #FutureOfCoding
I have done exactly what Mike cautioned. Too excited i jumped in and had little success but have been stuck for the past two weeks. I am excited to apply the lessons from today.
Question for Ras Mic or anyone who can help. I'm a backend developer with 10 years of experience in CMS development(AEM). I want to get started with these AI tools but I'm kind of lost as to which ones I should start with and what's required to get started. From this video I understand V0 and Cusor are the AI that I want to start with but is there a video I can follow to get started to answer questions like: 1) Which IDE are you using that allows the AI commands on the right? 2) What minimum cost is required to be up and running and which ones are worth buying to just start learning even if I'm not planning to sell anything for now. 3) Can I upload an existing project to start with and make tweaks on it or is it like just build once on these tools and then you are on your own?
I just finished a hackathon...I wish I saw this video before. But. no worries, I'm going to work on this now. Coming from a CS background and being in non-dev roles (i.e. PM type roles) means that I have not actually done coding in my professional career...so, these tools will make it easier for me to see my ideas come alive. Thank you!
Curser directory seems to be a system prompt creator, of course you can make specialized system prompts if you put some thought into it based upon what you see on that site and of course your own intuition and thought as to what tools you will need and how they can be implemented for your project
I'm making a web application with my friend , we just have the idea and planning on how should we make and code it and this video really helps for doing it. Like super high level stuff. I think I'm ahead of 80% of the coders just by seeing this video. anyway thanks Greg & rasmic for making this
Micy Mic, great stuff, bro.I had an idea to move people from sending PDF resumes to building a website resume instead. It may be cool to do a quick tutorial on that. as always thanks to the man Creg for helping everyone.
I noticed your first point with Chat GPT. If you give it an example of what you are trying to do, then it catches on really quick, but without the example, it gives very general answers.
Let's just say I'm just curious to learn this stuff, but I'm totally new. Does it make sense to ask o1 Model (or another good AI) to create a learning plan for the next 3 months, or would you guys recommend just getting started like Ras Mike explained to us here, just start with a sketch? Great Video-thank you so much!
What is the browser Ras Mic is using that has all the tabs on the sidebar? Is it a tool only for Mac users, or can Windows users also use it? Or is it a setting on the browser?
😊 "if people like this and found it fun and interesting, maybe we'll do it again so please let us know yep let me know and maybe I'll be back !" Yes, thank you very much for this amazing meeting and please come back both together !
a little random, but i love how you've switched the VS Code stuff to the right side and the cursor chat to the right. I'm going to have to try that out!
I was developing a website with cursor composer. And it went great until i missclicked on reset composer. then my website broke and there was no way to restore the previous version. Whats the best way like CTRL+Z to get back 1 version where changes were made in multiple files? I am a beginner developer. :)
You nailed it, guys! Definitely a crash course to start with Cursor AI. Thank you so much for your effort. I have one question: Can you please help me find the source code of the free website template you shared, or guide me on how to access one for my project?
Planning is critical. As a professional developer pitching clients you need to show the client what they want. Design mock-ups are crucial to getting the cheque. Not a line of code written just pictures and process flows
I really appreciate the opportunity bro!!! Thanks for having me on, happy to answer any questions if anyone has!!!!
you're the best
Great info, solid vibe. 😎
Great info. I sent an email to you that you had listed in your info page here
You were awesome bro. Packed with info and to the point. Love it.
Fantastic explanations for us non-developers.
What a great episode. Not only is Ras Mic super knowledgable - he also has such a great vibe. Thanks for inviting him to the show, Greg
Do ya swallow?
"Your are the boss, the ai is your copilot", this is the perfect mindset to use AI in a lot of use cases. Thanks for sharing this nice experience!

do you start with V0 first or go directly into cursor?
@@qubit0002 from figma to cursor. I only use v0 for basic screens or components.
15 minutes into the video, and I've already picked up some practical and sensible tips. Great Video.

This makes me SO PUMPED to get into making ideas that otherwise have been impossible for me to build. Bravo boyyos!
These cursor videos that you're doing are getting more and more helpful. Thank you!
Greg’s channel is awesome!! Thanks for watching my man
Amazing. You both have a new customer from today. Subscribed to this and Ras Mic channel. The dude is amazing. Thank you for this great content both.

One of those serendipitous moments of seeing someone approach problem solving that is similar and yet different to your own. Amazing!
20:29 Import documentation
26:38 use other AI models if cursor is stuck and tell them the solutions you tried
38:05 use templates
one of the best cursor video i have watched till now
great video Greg, first time to know your channel. Super excited when Ras Mic sharing his tips !
Ras Mic is an awesome developer. I have learnt alot from him.
Ur too kind my man! Ty ❤
Best advice.
Anyone looking to learn AI tools to build and become a pseudo developer (myself included) - take these concepts.
This is the next wave.
Awesome content as always Greg! This is the future of rapid prototyping. As a product manager I've been playing with Cursor but this workflow takes it to the next level. Interactive prototypes are basically dead now that you can actually render low fidelity beta versions for user testing or experimentation.
So trueeee
this was awesome. Ras ur a G. Appreciate u sharing ur wisdom and am excited to unpack all the useful nuggies in here.
This is the 80/20 I needed. Keep it real guys !

Sorry if this has been asked Mic- what browser are you using in the video lol?
Awesome stuff guys. Can’t wait to do some work today!!

@@GregIsenberg thank you Greg. YOu're such a baller dude. Downloading Arc now-->Replit-->Cursor-->Claude--> BUILD!

Congrats for the video and interview! Amazgin content
v0 makes us of lot of advanced react/ next.js practices since it has been trained on that.
I am not sure if ChatGPT or Claude is having that edge
Outstanding! Just subscribed. It’s rekindled my dev background
I really like how Ras takes a rather sensible approach to design and advices to spend some time with design before jumping onto cursor.

太棒了，成功让我和ai的关系有了一个更新的定位。而且，里面蕴含的很多思想都是我值得学习的
Hi Greg, thanks for your video. May I ask the name of the web browser Ras Mic used in his tutorial? Thanks
Thank you guys for sharing this with us! Super inspiring and well explained!
Excellent episode. Thanks. I was thinking of purchasing Bolt or Windsurfer or Cursor, but I think Cursor will be great.
This is just wild. Now it’s not about how well you write the code, it’s how well you prompt the AI to build the app.
I noticed your first point with Chat GPT. If you give it an example of what you are trying to do, then it catches on really quick, but without the example, it gives very general answers.

This was a great episode! How can we get the "How to Get The Best Results From Your Course AI" Document? So we can read it and have it at hand.
This was awesome. I didn’t even know about cursor till now.
13:50 What icon theme do you use? In my .cursorrules file, it doesn’t show a specific icon.
Hi bros thank you for this. What is the best way to give cursor a swagger spec, and then act or generate a connection layer based on this?

thanks :)
Hey, Greg. I want to create video tutorials and I love the quality of your videos/audio. What camera and mic are you using?
a little random, but i love how you've switched the VS Code stuff to the right side and the cursor chat to the right. I'm going to have to try that out!
Is Cursor + V0 as good for mobile development as it is for websites? If so, would love a demo.
Any suggestions on something similar for Flutter for mobile development? Tried it on v0 but the quick preview doesn't work, just code and explanation
Thank you Greg for the meeting with an AI: Mr Ras Mic.
I was developing a website with cursor composer. And it went great until i missclicked on reset composer. then my website broke and there was no way to restore the previous version.
Whats the best way like CTRL+Z to get back 1 version where changes were made in multiple files?
I am a beginner developer. :)
have u tried ctrl+z the component in which the code changed?
What software is he using to switch between apps/screens (going between Cursor, V0 etc.)?
we get straight into it that is what this channel is about... get on with it!
You nailed it, guys! Definitely a crash course to start with Cursor AI.
Thank you so much for your effort.
I have one question: Can you please help me find the source code of the free website template you shared, or guide me on how to access one for my project?
Planning is critical. As a professional developer pitching clients you need to show the client what they want. Design mock-ups are crucial to getting the cheque. Not a line of code written just pictures and process flows
Love seeing the highlight of rasmic.
Just discovered him recently.
So cool.
I appreciate u bro bro
Super useful. Thanks to both of you. See you over in X 😊
F X
This is great video, already learned a lot from it. Will implement some of these in my next cursor project.
@rasmic interested to know if you're still using claude or switching to o1?
still using claude atm
We heard what cursor is great at. Is there something it’s bad at?
This sharing is definitely more wonderful for teach people learning how to use Cursor!
Any idea how to access class or function definition, I already tried ctrl + click but didn't work ?
What is the app he is using which shows all opened application in one window?
I don't see that 'create new' composer view that you did around 22:40
Best tip in the whole video is be nice to your AI, please and thank yous, everyone!
Thank you for the video! I've been using cursor the past week and have been getting stuck time and time again! This changes EVERYTHING! THANKS!
