You don't need to spend money on Cursor anymore. Instead, here are three simple tools to create your own AI coding assistant one that can help you build full websites or mobile apps without writing a single line of code.
First, download the VS Code app from their official site. It’s an open-source code editor developed by Microsoft, and it’s actually the same base software that Cursor is built upon.
Next, inside VS Code, install the cline AI extension. This tool functions a lot like Cursor’s Agent Mode it’s an AI-powered coding assistant right inside your editor.
Lastly, head over to Google's AI Studio and claim your free API key. This gives you access to Google’s newest AI models that can write and assist with your code.
Once you’ve installed cline, you’ll see a new icon. Click it:
Paste your API key into cline, and that’s it you’ve essentially built your own AI coding tool.
Give it a try and see how much it can help.
