AI-Powered Code Writing

In this lesson, we’ll build a simple “Hello, World!” Flask application using natural language prompts and explore how Cursor supports real development workflows. The focus is on how the AI assists us at each step, from generating files to debugging and running the code.

We’ll learn how to:

• Prompt Cursor to generate functional code using plain English.

• Scaffold and structure a working Python Flask app.

• Handle setup steps like creating virtual environments and installing dependencies.

• Run code, respond to errors, and adapt when things do not go as expected.

• Add new features incrementally by continuing the conversation.

• Use chat settings like Agent mode, model selection, and context attachment for better results.
