Summary

The creator built 2 feature requests from a beta tester in one day using AI in Cursor. He used Opus 4.7 for the design feature and a GPT model for the other one. He stresses that people still need to check what the AI built.

Key points

• AI-assisted coding made it possible to ship 2 feature requests in one day.
• Pick a model per task, for example Opus 4.7 for design work and a GPT model for other work.
• Cursor lets you switch between models from different providers.
• People still need to check and verify AI-generated changes.
