      I am already starting to get confused about which AI tool is best for which purpose. For example, what is currently the best AI for vibe coding if I wanted to build a trading algorithm? Or what would be the best AI agent for writing a book based on my ideas and notes? With so many specialized tools emerging, I wonder whether we'll eventually have an AI agent whose main job is to understand our objective and recommend the most suitable AI tool or agent for that specific task. It feels like that could become one of the most valuable AI applications in itself.

          I have just commented with recommended tools for the cohort. Provided you are willing to pay for your subscriptions, a strong general purpose tool is Anthropics Claude, which can run everything from Vibe to other General Purpose use cases. Google is a strong contender, as you can use a lot of it for free. Will explain in class, and have a use case prepared which maybe relatable.

            Hi everyone, in the module today we will be introducing concepts and have a short hands-on vibe coding session with Gemini. For tool recommendations, consider: I will explain the tasks and reasons for my recommendations later. Recommendations are largely due to free tier capabilities.

                Prof, I clicked on the link to Gemini.  It gave me "Gemini" and not "Gemini3".  I think Prof Ian was using Gemini3 in his videos. Nevertheless, I followed his prompts to create a clock. My observations: the clock did not come out as Prof Ian's did.  I am a total vibe coding newbie, what I did was to continue asking Gemini. Gemini's suggestion was that I should copy the code somewhere it can be executed.  Can you show this in class?  it looks like even if someone ask the same question with exactly the same prompt, Gemini's response may be different.  I find this interesting.   I wanted to load some data to play-analyze.  Is there a video/ tutorial  i can refer to for best prompts to get the data talking

                    Hi Professor, Thanks for the breakdown. One question on combining tools rather than picking one. I am drafting, on paper for now, a workflow which i want to test in n8n, but I want Claude to act as the reasoning step inside it, for example a social media content workflow where Claude drafts and I validate in many execution steps before anything ships. Does that integration have to happen inside n8n itself, using the AI Agent node or a direct API call to Claude, or is there a better pattern for combining a workflow orchestrator with a prompt-to-app or agentic tool from a different category on your list? Also, on the n8n free tier note, self hosted only, does that mean the workflow data stays fully on my own infrastructure if I self host, or is there still a dependency on n8n's servers for parts of the execution?

                      I am a bit confused about how vibe coding tools help build workflows. So far, I understand that they can create simple AI-assisted apps, but how do these apps connect to and improve actual business processes? Are vibe coding tools mainly for app development, or can they support workflow design and automation?

                          I understand that vibe coding is useful for developing an MVP, but professional developers are still needed to bring the solution into production. As our IT department does not have in-house developers, could Jonathan or anyone recommend any companies that provide services to productionise, host and maintain such solutions? Thanks!!

                              While AI tools are accelerating development, understanding the training data behind a model is crucial for determining its reliability. Consequently, a specialized model (like one trained specifically for Angular) is likely to be far more accurate and trustworthy than a generalized model.

                                  I have two questions for those who are shipping AI products/features in production : 1. Many AI solutions look impressive in a demo, but become difficult to maintain as new capabilities are added. How do you architect agentic AI systems so they remain modular, scalable, and easy to extend without creating technical debt? 2. With the rapid growth of AI adoption, how is your organisation thinking about compute sustainability? What practices are you putting in place to ensure AI is used efficiently-balancing business value with energy consumption, cost, and environmental impact?
