what's going on guys Josh pook here and in today's video we're not going to be talking about cursor we're actually going to be looking at some of the competitors that are rising up yes that's right there's a lot of new AI ID out there and this one is called void void ID we're going to dive into it and show you how you can get started let's get right [Music] in all right guys for those of you who are new to the channel or maybe you didn't see some of my recent videos well I actually just

did a video on pair Ai and this is an open source AI powered code editor it's an alternative to cursor and it is getting some a few new updates I've heard that should be coming out recent or very soon that should be pretty cool um so we'll see if they can catch up to cursor cursor right now just got a really crazy update I did a video yesterday check that out down below link will be in the description about the new cursor compos cler updates as well as notepads and whatnot as well as super Maven

if you're not familiar with super Maven they just raised 12 mil to build a text editor IDE all right so all these different extensions are seeming to you know starting to switch over to the whole IDE approach we've seen that it went worked so well with cursor and there's also kind of I guess maybe a new kit on the Block and not super new but I guess new uh to some degree um I mean they're new enough where there's not even you can't even download it you have to get on their wait list to get

access or you have to actually build it yourself compile the code which we'll go over a little bit of that today um and this is called void right so right now there's a weit list this is the website link will be down below um you can join the weit list if you want but I'm going to show you how you can actually build out the extension so void is an open- Source cursor alternative write code with the best AI tool retain full control over your data and access powerful AI features all right so I I'm

a huge cursor fan right now I believe it's definitely the best bar none in terms of AI coding a lot of other cool tools too Claud Dev got an update I'll do a video on that to this week um a lot of other ones you know all these other AI code Ides are pretty cool Z Zai um but some of the benefits of course with like an open source IDE like we're seeing maybe with pair like we're seeing with void is like it says up here you can have retain control of your data and you

can typically use it with lots of times more models local models um and all that good stuff so AI features you love so tab to autocomplete edit selection in line and contrl L to ask questions and include files contrl K to edit selection in line and then tap and then this is powered by vs code so another VSS code Fork just like cursor just like pair AI seems like everyone is forking VSS code and putting AI features in it and uh so we got some Community features uh anyone can advance our road map blah blah

blah blah blah so index your files intelligent search with AI fine-tuned generation dock strings View and edit underlying prompts then experimental features fast apply even on Thousand line files contextual awareness third-party integration so we see oama grep Di and dock search and then many more coming soon so pretty cool pretty interesting you can host it locally or it can go direct with the llms and here is the there's a Discord as well as a GitHub which is right here so all this will be linked down below now pretty much right now the only way you

can actually use it is by going to their contributing section right here so it's really meant to if you're like contributing to the open source but you know we can go ahead and build it to test it out a little bit um so there's really two parts to this there's one which is building out the extension so I'm going to go over that right now and then there's also building the full IDE okay so either both of these I'm not going to lie at least maybe it's just me but it some of it's It's not

the it can be a little bit difficult or tricky especially the first time to you know follow this these instructions or at least do it properly so I'm going to show you how to do it I personally didn't see any other videos on YouTube or anywhere really talking about this so um yeah hopefully this helps you guys out and yeah we're going to go over the extension right now so so first things first you're going to want to get clone the repo of course so if we go here to our terminal you can just go

to whatever you know location you want oops okay so I already have this clone so I'm not going to do it but you're going to get clone it once you do that you're of course going to CD into your uh repo there okay so now I'm cded into that repo I'm just LS right here you can see all the different files and in order to do the extensions what we're going to do is open this folder right here so extensions and then forward SL void and then we're going to open that into vs code so

I'm going to CD into extensions and then CD into void and then I'm just going to do code dot or I could have done cursor dot okay so this is going to pull up the void extension um directory right here so what we're going to do is open up the terminal which I already have opened and then you're going to run mpm install to install the dependencies all right guys and I also made a full sop document that I'll give you the link to down below um so you can access this as well it can

help it has a little bit more detail for certain things so if you get stuck just reference this document it will be down linked below for free so we're right here so we're npm installing to install the dependencies once that's done we're going to npm npm run build okay so now we got these dependencies installed now we're going to npm run build okay once we do that and that's built then we're going to press F5 if you're in vs code if that doesn't work you can do control shift p and or command shift p on

Mac and then type in debug and start debugging and then click enter so since I'm in vs code I'm just going to click F5 and that should run the void extension as you can see it's building right here okay now we can see waiting for pre-launch task and boom it's going to open up another vs code so this is the one we got right here and once we do that you're going to want to set up your AI features so you can press control Plus on Windows or command plus uh uh plus this right here

this little comma um to open the settings and then in the search bar type void it's going to locate the void extension and you're going to see the different API Keys such as anthropic open AI different ones that you can input so let's go ahead and do that all right so we're in settings here we're going to search for void okay so once we search void we can see anthropic API uh grep tile Al llama settings these are coming soon and then open AI API key so you can paste in your API Keys here once

you do that you should have it um on your left side here like it will say like chat I pulled it over here so we can see chat right here so this is similar to if you've seen like continue Dev or pretty much any chat AI tool that we've covered or just in general GitHub copilot claw Dev you're going to see that right here so we just have some basic code right here um what I can do is Click control L this is going to like reference the file in the chat so it's kind of

like context so we included this I could go here to my manifest uh Json control L and then I could just say tell me about the these files and now we're getting our explanation about what they're doing and this is correct all right so you can go ahead and use the extension test it out now for those of you who want to build the IDE I'm going to let you know this one is a little bit more tricky even for me I've been struggling with it these last few hours and um I was creating a

guide for right here but I actually am stuck so um did make a lot of progress I'll still leave this section in the guide even though it is incomplete I'll leave it in here for you guys so if anyone troubleshoots it figures it out maybe you could let us know in the comments down below help some people out but for those of you who really want to see the IDE and want me to make a separate video um showing you exactly how to get the IDE set up let me know in the comments down below

I will quickly mention a few things that I tried and kind of where I'm seeing some issues so building the IDE basically if you're doing it like for example if I go to the Discord right here I see the founder of this tool he's mentioning if you're running it on Windows you're going to want to uh build it in a uh Dev container right so if you don't know about that basically install Dev containers right here on VSS code and remote development and then when you open up void it uh should prompt you to um

basically use a Dev container if not you can do control shift p and type in Dev containers and click Start new Dev containers you're going to need Docker installed for that um so yeah there that's one method he's saying is the dev container method basically everything's containerized so it should have less issues with you know how your system could be set up um but if you're going to do it with like on your system you're either way I think you're going to need Visual Studio downloads you may need to modify it um build tools to

include certain uh things in it I have some screenshots here showing you um and yeah you can just read some of this if you want to go ahead and try to actually build out the IDE for yourself I don't want to fully walk through this because like I said I'm I'm personally encountering issues right now um and yeah I'm going to I'm I will definitely troubleshoot this and try to figure it out in the next few days and if I do and you guys want me to make a video just showing you guys how to

do that let me know or if any one of you guys actually figures out how to do the IDE side of things let me know at the end of the day I think this is a really cool tool to keep an eye out for either way once we actually buil like once we say if we did build the IDE I think it's really not at that stage yet where you would want to be using it over cursor even with a fully built IDE because like ha AI is still fairly new and at least they get

you a download but you know void is so new that there's a weit list and the only way you can even run the IDE is with actually building it yourself so I think it's definitely I mean it is way too new to to say either one of these actually replace cursor um but it is something to be on the lookout for you know we're seeing a lot of these idees vs code Forks continue de Forks whatever the case may be spawn up or you know come come uh you know know being built so some of

them are open source and I mean a lot of them are that's kind of the differentiator between cursor um so we'll see we'll see what who wins this race this war and then we see like I mentioned um you know super Maven who's an established uh extension Chrome extension or uh vs code extension now they raised 12 mil and now they're building an IDE we have Zed IDE let me know in the comments down below what's your favorite IDE I mean is it cursor or you think that someone is going to take the Throne of

cursor do you think are you are you going to bet on one of these idees or maybe do you think someone should come up with some other idea that's a little bit different than how all these companies are doing it um let me know in the comments Down Below guys if you're new to the channel we upload videos every single day on AI automation AI coding business growth Etc so if you want to stay on the loop on everything I'm learning on a day-to-day basis as well as different AI companies or AI news or whatever

the case may be in terms of building your business learning about Ai and technology make sure to smash that like button smash that subscribe button thank you guys so much for the recent 6,000 subscribers we're getting closer to 7,000 so um appreciate all the recent support other than that guys I will see you in tomorrow's video let me know what your thoughts are in the comments down below about all this guys do you think void AI IDE has some potential right now it's still super early like we literally have to build it ourselves but I

did still want to share this with you because I haven't seen anyone talking about it um at least on YouTube YouTube so I if you guys do want me to actually um make sure I troubleshoot this and figure out how to build the IDE and then give you guys a really in-depth guide on how to do that with a standard SLP like document let me know in the comments down below and I'll make sure that I get that that done for you guys and updated and I'll make a separate video on that but other than

that I will see you in tomorrow's video keep hustling keep grinding and of course accelerate your stride take care
