00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.900
There are different categories of tools we
have to differentiate when it comes

00:00:03.960 --> 00:00:07.310
to AI tools for developers. We have

00:00:07.380 --> 00:00:10.640
external AI chatbots like ChatGPT
and Gemini, for

00:00:10.700 --> 00:00:14.020
example.
Those are great for asking code-related

00:00:14.080 --> 00:00:17.450
questions and getting answers
or discussing general

00:00:17.500 --> 00:00:21.340
concepts,
not specifically to a concrete code base

00:00:21.380 --> 00:00:25.080
might be working on
but instead for a new project

00:00:25.090 --> 00:00:28.650
planning where a lot of code-based
specific knowledge is not

00:00:28.660 --> 00:00:32.420
required, because, of course, ChatGPT
and Gemini and all these other AI

00:00:32.460 --> 00:00:36.440
chatbots don't have access to your code
base unless you copy and paste

00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:39.320
all those code files,
which nobody wants to do.

00:00:39.400 --> 00:00:43.320
That's where AI-powered completion comes
into play as

00:00:43.400 --> 00:00:47.080
a first in code-based tool.
Here we have GitHub

00:00:47.140 --> 00:00:50.970
Copilot and Cursor,
which we'll both see in this course here,

00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:54.530
and both these tools offer intelligent
autocompletion.

00:00:54.580 --> 00:00:58.180
That's not just completing based on type

00:00:58.220 --> 00:01:01.780
definitions or anything like that
but instead are context

00:01:01.900 --> 00:01:05.780
aware of your file,
the surrounding code of the

00:01:05.880 --> 00:01:09.110
area you are currently working on,
and that they offer...

00:01:09.110 --> 00:01:13.080
Provide smart suggestions for what you
might wanna type next.

00:01:13.100 --> 00:01:16.950
And we'll take a look at these smart
assistants and how they work later in the

00:01:16.980 --> 00:01:20.670
course, of course.
We'll also take a very close look at

00:01:20.720 --> 00:01:24.410
coding agents,
and here I'm talking about GitHub Copilot

00:01:24.460 --> 00:01:28.130
Cursor. Another example which
is not part of the course

00:01:28.160 --> 00:01:31.960
course, would be Claude Code.
Unlike the code completion,

00:01:32.020 --> 00:01:35.660
here we're not just talking about
completing parts of the code but

00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:39.640
instead having the AI agent generate vast
amounts of

00:01:39.680 --> 00:01:43.520
codes, entire code files
and working across multiple files in your

00:01:43.580 --> 00:01:46.880
code base. These agents are aware of your

00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.740
project.
You can also give them specific extra

00:01:50.780 --> 00:01:54.640
might need, and unlike ChatGPT and Gemini,
they do work

00:01:54.680 --> 00:01:58.660
in your code base
and understand your code base,

00:01:58.700 --> 00:02:02.660
significant amounts of codes with those
agents, and as a developer, you wanna

00:02:02.700 --> 00:02:04.540
learn how to control these agents.

00:02:04.550 --> 00:02:08.500
And that's specifically what we'll also
cover in this course, how to work

00:02:08.508 --> 00:02:11.740
with Cursor and GitHub Copilot
and how to provide the right

00:02:11.780 --> 00:02:15.660
instructions to these agents.
And then there

00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:19.640
also would be code review tools,
something like Bugbot by Cursor

00:02:19.740 --> 00:02:23.720
or CodeRabbit or other tools.
The idea here is that these are

00:02:23.780 --> 00:02:27.240
tools that typically run in the cloud
and automatically

00:02:27.280 --> 00:02:31.140
review pull requests
that might be opened on GitHub to have an

00:02:31.200 --> 00:02:35.049
extra pair of AI eyes on that code
and have some

00:02:35.120 --> 00:02:38.900
automated code reviews being done for
every pull request that's opened, for

00:02:38.960 --> 00:02:42.640
example. And they therefore may catch
and fix certain

00:02:42.700 --> 00:02:46.460
issues or provide a solid baseline for
human-based

00:02:46.560 --> 00:02:49.560
reviews so that you can build up on what
the AI already

00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:53.340
identified.
This will not be the focus of this course,

00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:55.800
another important category of tools to be
aware

00:02:55.880 --> 00:02:57.740
of.
