Aider (Upgraded) + FREE Claude / ChatGPT + Files To Prompt: This is the BEST FREE Way for AI Coding!

Ader and Klein: New Upgrades for Coding

Introduction to Ader's Upgrades

  • The video introduces the latest upgrades from Ader, highlighting its superiority over competitors like Klein.
  • The new version supports the Haiku model and allows users to apply file edits easily from chat interfaces such as ChatGPT or Claude.

Features of the Latest Update

  • Users can generate code using free chat interfaces, copy it, and run AER with the "apply clipboard edits" option to integrate changes into their files.
  • To utilize this feature effectively, a model must be configured in AER; simple models like Gemini or Mr. Draw are recommended.

Setting Up AER

  • New users can install AER using a specific command; existing users should upgrade to the latest version.
  • It is suggested to use Gemini Flash due to its free access, fast performance, and favorable rate limits for applying code changes.

Using Chat Interfaces for Code Generation

  • The presenter recommends using ChatGPT or Deep Seek for generating code due to fewer rate limits compared to other platforms.
  • An example is provided where a user requests a simple HTML/CSS/JS To-Do app from ChatGPT, demonstrating how easy it is to copy generated code into AER.

Editing Code with AER

  • After creating an initial file, users can request modifications (e.g., adding features), copy updated code from ChatGPT, and apply it seamlessly in AER.
  • This process showcases how efficiently one can iterate on projects without needing extensive manual coding.

Advanced Tool: Files-to-Prompt

  • The video introduces the "files-to-prompt" tool that consolidates multiple files into a single prompt for context when working with larger projects.
  • By running this tool on project directories, users can provide comprehensive context about their entire project when querying AI models like ChatGPT.

Applying Changes Across Multiple Files

  • When making changes across several files, it's advised to handle one file at a time—copying changes sequentially ensures accuracy in updates.
  • Despite being somewhat tedious, this method allows developers to maintain high-quality outputs while leveraging free tools effectively.
