Join this channel to get access to perks:

In this video, I'll be telling you that how you can generate Full-Stack Production-Ready Web Applications using AI with Aider and Zed AI. I'll be creating a full-stack App using AI without writing any code. This going to be a full-hands on about how you can create full-stack applications with AI.
Zed AI & Aider is a new combination AI based code editor that beats Cursor AI and is free and opensource. It allows you to generate applications with AI and it is fully opensource. This is a fully opensource and free Cursor AI alternative. You can also use it as a VS Code Alternative with AI features. This AI Code Editor comes with free Claude 3.5 Sonnet usage and it also supports Local models usage via Ollama. It is an AI Coding Agent or Text-To-Application tool that is super easy to use. It can generate code with Claude-3.5-Sonnet, Gemini, OpenAI, Ollama and Any other Model and it can also generate whole NextJS, Python and other applications within seconds. It's very similar to Cursor but it's better than that. I'll be generating some simple applications but you can also use it to generate Games, Applications, Web Applications, Websites, Frontend, Backend and multiple other things. You can also do Text-To-Frontend, Text-To-Application, Text-To-Game and other things with this. Zed AI can also be used with any opensource LLM, OpenAI models or the other Claude models such as GPT-4O, Claude-3, CodeQwen, Mixtral 8x22b, Mixtral 8x7b, GPT-4, Grok-1.5 & Gemini Code Assist.

how to implement autogen in zed for agentic workflows

[shawnkratos]

If we could only get it to use the zed ai free Claud I’d be sold. But still a great step in the right direction. Ideally I’d like to see aider built directly into zed so we have one interface/chat that does everything.

[iritesh]

What about codebase indexing that cursor has? Although it's useless most of the times because of large codebase, sometimes it is useful.

[HemangJoshi]

is it possible to have agentic workflow in this in which the agents code and edit cyclically until the goal is reached?

[creativef]

Do we need to have Xcode installed as well to get this running?

[goldenglowmaster]

Can it edit files for a project i already started that has a few bugs

[limjuroy]

Can you cover Colpali and Phidata in your coming videos?

[SharjilPrince]

Zed not working in Ubuntu, please tell something

[woufo]

I can't download it on Windows. I need to build it by myself.

[comosaycomosah]

yo you should do a video with aider config having issues with yml file

[AiForKurd]

i think zed is not avaliable for windows sadly
