AI-Assisted Coding Tutorial – OpenClaw, GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, CodeRabbit, Gemini CLI

Tech

Learn how to use AI tools to become more productive as a developer. You will master AI pair programming and agentic terminal workflows using top-tier tools like GitHub Copilot, Anthropic's Claude Code, and the Gemini CLI. The course also covers open-source automation with OpenClaw, teaching you how to set up a highly customizable, locally hosted AI assistant for your development environment. Finally, you will learn how to maintain high code quality and streamline your team's workflow by integrating CodeRabbit for automated, AI-driven pull request analysis. Some of this course is based on this article from Mrugesh Mohapatra: https://www.freecodecamp.org/news/how-to-become-an-expert-in-ai-assisted-coding-a-handbook-for-developers/ CodeRabbit provided a grant to make this course possible.

So you need separate PC/Mac mini that runs 24/7 at home for openclaw?

Great rundown of major AI tools out there. Also the pace of development in the ecosystem is incredible, I still can't understand how to use MCP effectively bcs everytime someone explains a use case, its: "Oh, X tool now does Y automatically so you don't need this anymore"

Not at all accurate in my case. Sorry to keep repeating the same thing iver and over again. Even the todo list is not what it should be. I don't know how you are getting such accurate results.

In my case, it is not at all accurate. It is not suggesting correct class names. I had to spend more time correcting it. Is anybody else facing the same issue?

is there a difference in performance and features (commands, skills etc) between Copilot CLI and Claude Code? in Copilot CLI we can use Claude models, so I'm trying to understand if there's a difference if using Claude Code rather than Copilot CLI with Claude models

Please add more information about usage plans to this video at 9:50. You talk about the Free plan, but it looks like you have at least the Pro plan. And many options further down the video, it looks like, are not available to the Free plan. So that people don't look for what is not available to them in this plan, because it is very, very demotivating and prevents them from learning something if the training material does not match what you can do. I have been through this pain since the days of M$ Access 97 and 1500 page books where 80% of the options did not match what was available on the Access computer.

How I “missed” tutorials when you don’t understand anything about the topic, you try to learn, read, watch videos, but on your computer nothing works the way it does in the tutorial. This is not a complaint about the author. It’s just that — I “missed” it.

Awesome video, Beau! One thing though, could have really used a detailed step by step guide on using OpenClaw, there are several videos out there but I personally like the way you explain things, easy for me to process and internalize.
