Have you noticed how many new community tools were released recently? We used to only have a handful tools, like the Driver Automation Tool, PSADT and OSD Cloud, to name a few. Often built by a small team of PowerShell scripters or coders.

Did we suddenly get a lot of new developers in our community? Well yes. In the form of AI coding assistants. And those who know how to use them! Are you not one of them? Never fear, Merlin is here! I started coding with AI 3 years ago and I'll show you real examples of how to start coding without knowing how to code.

Let's look at what it takes to build a simple tool that can reduce your workload and do some of the repetitive tasks that you hate doing. We'll start with an idea and an AI chatbot like Copilot or ChatGPT. Then we'll switch to VS Code with Github Copilot and other IDEs like Cursor and Windsurf to write and test actual code.

Our goal is to help you code time-saving tools for yourself, your team, and maybe the entire IT community!
