00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.420
Now, as you can tell from the last lecture,

2
00:00:02.760 --> 00:00:05.120
this course will focus on GitHub Copilot

3
00:00:05.120 --> 00:00:09.120
and Cursor and some chat GPT usage or

4
00:00:09.120 --> 00:00:11.520
similar AI chatbots.

5
00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:15.660
This course will not cover services like

6
00:00:15.660 --> 00:00:21.380
Repl.it, Bolt.new, v0 or other popular AI

7
00:00:21.380 --> 00:00:23.080
services you might have heard of.

8
00:00:23.340 --> 00:00:26.820
For example, Repl.it is a service that tries

9
00:00:26.820 --> 00:00:29.520
to use AI agents to solve problems for

10
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:29.760
you.

11
00:00:30.160 --> 00:00:32.060
The idea is that you don't have to write

12
00:00:32.060 --> 00:00:33.860
too much code there, but that instead

13
00:00:33.860 --> 00:00:36.420
the AI does it for you and then you

14
00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:38.620
essentially just review and tweak it.

15
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:41.080
And whilst this might sound promising,

16
00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.340
in my experience, these services aren't

17
00:00:45.340 --> 00:00:48.540
fully there yet, especially once you start

18
00:00:48.540 --> 00:00:50.300
working on more complex problems.

19
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.380
At least I was never really able to

20
00:00:53.380 --> 00:00:55.600
become more efficient with them and

21
00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:57.240
whilst that might change in the future,

22
00:00:57.560 --> 00:00:59.620
it's therefore not the focus of this course.

23
00:00:59.820 --> 00:01:03.140
Instead, the focus are the main players,

24
00:01:03.280 --> 00:01:06.600
the tools that in my experience give you

25
00:01:06.600 --> 00:01:08.860
the biggest efficiency boost.

26
00:01:09.120 --> 00:01:11.600
GitHub Copilot, Cursor and as

27
00:01:11.600 --> 00:01:14.000
mentioned to some degree chat GPT.

28
00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:16.740
Because those tools integrated into your

29
00:01:16.740 --> 00:01:19.500
editor or in case of Cursor, your editor

30
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:21.980
being a tool with lots of AI integrated

31
00:01:21.980 --> 00:01:25.700
into it, these really are the tools that

32
00:01:25.700 --> 00:01:28.960
allow you to use AI efficiently as a

33
00:01:28.960 --> 00:01:32.740
developer and to write code faster and

34
00:01:32.740 --> 00:01:34.360
hopefully also better.

35
00:01:34.840 --> 00:01:36.560
That's why that's the focus of this course.

36
00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.880
If you are looking for those other tools,

37
00:01:39.460 --> 00:01:41.820
this just isn't the course for you.

38
00:01:42.160 --> 00:01:44.280
That's really important to understand.

39
00:01:44.760 --> 00:01:46.560
Well, and with that, let's continue.
