What it does: Tell it "build an app like this" in Japanese and the AI writes the code, with fixes handled via chat too. It's also good at understanding and revising existing code.
Who it's for: People who want to build their own apps and tools, from programming beginners to engineers.
Strengths: Dramatically speeds up development. Even non-engineers can build simple things.
Watch-outs: The initial environment setup is somewhat tricky for total beginners. Generated code needs checks for things like security.
