Learn by building real projects. These self-paced tutorials teach you how to work with AI tools — by speaking naturally or typing prompts. No prior coding experience required.
All tutorials support voice input. Use Wispr Flow to speak your prompts instead of typing them. It is optional — every prompt works whether you speak it or type it.

​
Why CLI tools?

These tutorials use Gemini CLI as the main AI tool because it is completely free and teaches you how to work with AI in the terminal — a skill that transfers directly to professional tools like Claude Code. CLI (command-line) tools are better for delegation — you describe what you want, and AI does the work autonomously. GUI (click-based) tools are better for suggestion — they help you while you do the work yourself. In these tutorials, we want AI to do the heavy lifting, so CLI is the right choice.
Your learning path: Learn the fundamentals with Gemini CLI (free), then graduate to Claude Code (professional, same workflow). By the time you reach the Vibe Coding tutorial, you will already know how to speak to an AI in the terminal, approve tool calls, and work with extensions — because you learned it all with Gemini CLI.
