💭 in your head · nothing to type

Look at the flood of AI tools as a supermarket shelf without price tags. You have one cart and one task, but too many boxes.

Which feature would you use to find the right shelf?

💭 in your head · nothing to type

Return to the supermarket shelf. Quadrants turn a jumble of boxes into clear aisles: first find the category, then choose the product.

Which aisle would you push your cart toward for your next task?

💡 Concept

The map: 4 quadrants of AI tools

Quadrant What it does Examples
🟦 Zero-code builders Prompt → ready app in minutes Lovable, Bolt, Replit
🟪 AI dev platforms Deep work with code and projects Claude Code, Codex
🟨 Design-to-code Design → code Figma Make, Stitch
🟩 AI coding assistants Helpers inside the IDE Cursor, Windsurf

Where this course sits

Claude Code is quadrant 🟪. It's the "heavy artillery". It doesn't just draw buttons — it manages files, the terminal, and the project's memory.

Your new role: PM + QA + Conductor

In Software 1.0 (a person writes the code) the roles were one way; in Software 3.0 (a person speaks, the model writes) they have shifted:

  1. Product Manager (YOU): decide WHAT to build.
  2. AI agent: writes the code from your intent.
  3. QA (YOU): verify it works.
  4. DevOps (YOU + AI): ship the project to the world.
