Today, just for fun, I was experimenting with Cursor (one of the AI developme tools) and asked it to create a multi-track music recording program from scratch (C++ and the Qt GUI framework), and refined it a little bit with a fe prompts. It still would need to be tested (which I haven't done yet); I wouldn't expect it to fully work as expected right now, but it actually creat something that successfully builds & runs, with some configuration options - This is at least a skeleton of a music recording application that could be built upon, and using the AI to create this was very easy & quick. It would have taken a good amount longer to do this without help from AI.

So Cursor works with Qt Creator? That is encouraging. Sounds like it is capable of some prett great things.

I've been using Cursor as well, and I'm liking it. I've coupled it with a couple AI PR reviewers to test (coderabbit, quodo and co-pilot) and it's been really useful to get almost instant feedback on a PR. It has saved me a LOT of time, even with the trial/free limitations.

Qt Creator wasn't involved at all. Cursor is itself a stand-alone application (it's basically Microsoft Visual Studio Code with their own AI chat agent included). So it's not so much that Cursor "works with" Qt Creator; it's more that Cursor will simply generate what you ask it to. I asked it to create an application using C++ and using the Qt GUI framework.

Sorry, you explained that before I think. I went and found a couple of
videos last night and now have a better understanding about what Cursor
is. It looks really sharp!
