Couch to Cursor: Zero to Building with AI in One Morning (In-Person + Virtual)
The full Couch to Cursor journey - explore, plan, build, debug - condensed into one hands-on 2-hour workshop. You'll set up Cursor, understand a real project with AI, plan a feature, let the Agent build it, and fix what breaks - leaving in command of your workflow.
In these two hours you'll:
1. Explore & Understand
Get Cursor installed and ready (bring your laptop — we'll help)
Adopt the mindset: working with an AI coding partner, not just autocomplete
Use Ask mode to explore our starter project and get instant answers, giving Cursor the right context with @-mentions
2. Plan Like a Pro
Use Plan mode to turn a rough idea into a clear, reviewable plan before writing a single line
Learn prompting that's specific, scoped, and gets what you actually meant — and why you plan with a stronger reasoning model
3. Build with the Agent
Hand your plan to Agent mode and watch it build across multiple files
Review changes, redirect the agent when it drifts, and switch models — plan with a strong one, build with a faster one
Ship a working feature you built yourself
4. Debug & Master
Use Debug mode to find and fix issues root-cause first
Write a Rule so Cursor follows your project's conventions automatically
Master the real skill: flowing across Ask, Plan, Agent, and Debug within one task
Plus a look at what's next: connecting Cursor to your other tools with MCP, and where to go from here.
Total beginners welcome. No experience needed — just bring your laptop and your curiosity.
