Building an AI Image Generation Web App with Flux and Cursor

In this video, you'll learn how to create a stunning image generation web app using Flux models and the Replicate API, with a strong focus on leveraging Cursor for faster development. You'll start by designing a user-friendly interface with V0, and then use Cursor to automate coding tasks, from setting up the Next.js project to integrating API calls for image generation.

You'll explore how to:

  • Design a clean UI for image generation using V0
  • Use Cursor to automate code generation for API integration and server-side components
  • Build and deploy the project locally with Next.js using Cursor's guidance
  • Efficiently connect the Flux model through Replicate for fast image generation

By the end, you'll have a powerful web app built with the help of Cursor, speeding up your workflow and delivering impressive results.
