Uh hello guys, welcome to this video. So
0:02
in this video, I'll show you a cursor
0:04
alternative
0:06
cursor IDE alternative for creating web
0:09
applications. It's open-source AI code
0:11
editor and as you can see void is an
0:14
open-source cursor alternative.
0:17
You can use any model as similar to
0:20
cursor as well because cursor is
0:23
fantastic tool but also it cost you
0:25
money as well. As you can see the pro
0:27
plan start with $20 per month. So this
0:29
is a open-source solution that I showing
0:32
you. It's called as voideditor.com. If
0:35
you go to the browser, simply type this
0:37
address voided.com and you will load
0:39
this interface. Just type void editor on
0:42
Google. The very first result which
0:44
comes right here. This is the website.
0:46
And once you go to this, it's in beta
0:49
version. So you can download this by
0:51
clicking this button. So it's available
0:54
for Mac operating system or Windows as
0:56
well. So click on download on Windows
0:59
to install this. It's around about 109
1:04
MGB. So once it installs, you will have
1:07
this .exe file. Uh you simply run the
1:10
setup to install this inside your
1:13
machine.
1:16
So just run the setup right here. It
1:19
just basically installs it in 5 to 10
1:22
seconds.
1:24
And it's similar to cursor here. You can
1:26
actually run any AI model to actually
1:28
create coding apps directly inside your
1:32
machine.
1:35
So the popular AI models such as claude,
1:38
Gemini, uh GPT all those models are
1:42
pre-built
1:44
and in that you can see there is no
1:48
pricing model which is there in this
1:49
website at this moment of time. You can
1:52
try this for completely free.
1:56
And they do offer their GitHub page as
1:58
well. So if you want to get the source
2:00
code of this, you can just check out
2:02
their GitHub page. This is it's open
2:05
source. Here you will see all the files
2:06
are there.
2:17
So once it completes it will launch
2:19
here. It's a fully ID integrated
2:22
development environment. So similar to
2:24
VS code. So now it finishes. You
2:27
basically click the finish button to
2:29
launch this application. So
2:36
so it will automatically start as you
2:39
can see you will see this IDE screen and
2:43
uh you will get this message welcome to
2:45
void. Click on get started. And uh right
2:49
here you can see if you want to use
2:52
other API providers, you can add their
2:54
API key from Gemini or open router.
3:02
This is the free one. You can see
3:06
the paid ones is also there. If you have
3:08
a anthropic cloud API key, you can add
3:11
them as well. Deepseek, grock,
3:16
uh, deepseek every so every AI provider
3:19
it has so simply just need to paste the
3:22
API key and if you do have a local
3:25
provider local LLM which is running
3:29
let's suppose you download and having a
3:34
local LLM which is running you can paste
3:36
this address right here. So it also
3:39
provides support for that as well. So
3:42
there is an option right here add a
3:43
model and you can add custom models AI
3:47
models as well. So simply select right
3:49
here.
3:56
So click on next.
3:59
So let's suppose I basically
4:03
go to the Gemini and get my API key and
4:08
click on that create API key.
4:16
So
4:18
you copy this API key and simply paste
4:21
it right here
4:24
and click on next. And after that if you
4:28
have pre-existing settings and themes
4:30
from VS code or cursor you can transfer
4:32
them
4:34
or if you just don't want to do this you
4:36
click on enter the so this is actually
4:39
your editor and right here
4:43
you get this interface right here
4:46
similar to VS code. So you basically
4:50
create enter a folder.
4:57
It can be empty folder. Let me create
4:59
empty folders.
5:07
So once you open a folder right here you
5:09
will see the interface looks similar to
5:13
VS code such as these are the files here
5:16
and on the right hand side you will get
5:18
this chat window. So here you basically
5:22
ask any sort of question whatever
5:24
application you want to develop. You
5:26
simply say build a ReactJS app to
5:29
convert images to PDF in browser
5:34
and run the
5:36
project
5:38
create all the files.
5:42
So you actually ask the question and
5:44
using that uh Gemini API key it will
5:55
So you just need to select
6:00
the model right here. Whichever model
6:02
that you're using
6:09
these are the models which are there.
6:11
Gemini
6:25
So now you can see it is actually
6:27
generating the code for you and uh
6:33
you can just see the speed as well.
6:38
So it generated all the code for you.
6:40
Simply type the prompt and then on the
6:53
So you can also ask follow-up questions
6:55
as well.
7:04
So now as you can see it given the code
7:06
for us.
7:09
So if you have a promodel API key, you
7:12
can basically
7:15
add them
7:17
in the settings that I showed you
7:19
earlier.
7:22
So in this easy way,
7:24
this is the cursor alternative that you
7:27
can use. It is not a paid solution at
7:29
all. It's completely free. You download
7:32
