It's a way of building apps by telling an AI tool what you want in plain language. The AI writes the code, and you guide it, test it, and improve it.

Do I need to know how to code before I start?

No. The course starts from the basics. Knowing a little code helps, but it's not needed.

Is this course all about Lovable?

Not exactly. It gives you the groundwork you need before using Lovable or similar tools. Once you understand AI, coding assistants,, and how apps work, these tools get much easier to use.

Why does the course start with generative AI instead of building apps?

Because vibe coding tools run on generative AI. If you know how it thinks and where it slips, you'll get better results and waste less time fixing things.

What's an AI hallucination, and why should I care?

It's when AI gives an answer that sounds right but is wrong. In app building, that can mean broken code or features that don't work, so learning to spot it saves you a lot of trouble.

Which coding assistant is used in the demos?

The debugging demo uses Gemini in Google Colab. You'll also see GenAI used to build a small student details app.

What's the difference between a chat prompt and a command prompt?

A chat prompt allows you to have a conversation with AI, while a command prompt gives AI a clear instruction to complete a specific task. This course will help you understand when and how to use each effectively.

What's an MVP, and why is it in this course?

MVP stands for Minimum Viable Product. It's the simplest version of your app that still works. Starting small helps you test your idea fast before spending time on extra features.

How long will the course take?

The course has seven lessons and about an hour and a half of video. You can go at your own pace.

Yes. You can watch all the lessons and earn your certificate for free.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes. Once you finish, you'll get a certificate you can share on LinkedIn or add to your resume.

What should I do after finishing this course?

Try building a small app of your own in a vibe coding tool like Lovable. Start with a simple idea, test it, then keep improving it using the MVP approach from Lesson 6.
