So now that we're pretty much done
getting started with this course and that
you know what to expect from this
course and what you'll get out of this
course, there's one last thing I need to
get out of the way.
The AI tools I'm using in this course, like
GitHub Copilot and Cursor, do cost you
money.
There might be some free tiers, you can
get started with Cursor for free, but once
you really start using them, once you use
them for more than just a couple of
examples or for just a few prompts, once
you really start using them in your
day-to-day life, you will need paid plans.
You just can't use them for free because
running all these AI models is not free
for the providers of GitHub Copilot and
Cursor.
So that is something to be aware of, that
you might be able to get started for free
in certain situations, for certain simple
scenarios, but that at some point these
tools will cost you money.
It's just the way it is.
You can't really use them at scale for
free.
That's just something to keep in mind.
In addition, to make sure that you get
the most out of this course, I also of
course want to emphasize that since
we're dealing with AI tools here, the
exact results that will be generated for
me in the videos will of course very likely
not be what gets generated for you.
Also because you're watching this in the
future, the AI models that run behind
the scenes might have changed a little
bit and so on.
The idea with this course is to show you
how you could use these tools and what
you should keep in mind when doing
that.
It's not so much about the exact results
I'm getting because those will differ.
This is just something that can't be
avoided when working with AI.
But as you'll see, you'll learn plenty of
useful tips and tricks and learn about all
the great features that are offered by
GitHub Copilot and Cursor and ChatGPT
when it comes to programming and you
will be able to apply that to your projects
even if the results you get when
following along with this course might
not be the same you see in the videos.
That's just important to keep in mind.
And with that, we can now finally get
started using these tools.
