AI Coding Trial - A practical starting point for AI-assisted coding

AI Coding Trial is a beginner-friendly space for people who are curious about building with AI but don’t know where to start. Instead of traditional coding lessons, it uses small guided missions to let users experience the process of creating with AI. The current version includes a free trial path, preview missions, multilingual support, and a growing Academy for beginner-friendly AI and coding knowledge.

What changed the most between your original idea and the product you actually built?

When I started building my current project, the idea was actually quite simple.

I wanted to make a small app to record what I was learning while experimenting with AI-assisted coding basically the things I discovered, the problems I ran into, and what I learned from talking with AI while trying to build different things.

But as I kept working on it, the project slowly changed. Some of my notes started turning into beginner-friendly learning content, I added different paths and examples, and eventually it became much more different functions.

What are the 5 tools you simply couldn't do your work without?

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

  1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

  2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

  3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

  4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

  5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
