Choosing your tool and setting up

All major AI coding tools share the same core loop — you describe, the agent builds, you review a live preview. They differ in where the code lives and how much control you get: browser-based builders manage everything for you, while CLI agents work directly in your own repository. For your first project, pick whichever gets you to a live preview fastest. You can always graduate to a repo-based workflow later; the prompting skills transfer completely. Set up the essentials before you start building: an account with your chosen tool, a place for the project to live, and ten distraction-free minutes. That is genuinely all you need for lesson three.
