5 beginner projects to build with an AI coding agent

Start small, finish things

The best way to learn is to complete small projects. An AI coding agent speeds you up, but you still decide what to build and check the result.

1. A personal to-do web app

Teaches the basics: pages, buttons, saving data. Ask the agent to add one feature at a time.

2. A simple calculator or unit converter

A small project with clear right and wrong answers, which makes it ideal for learning to test.

3. A landing page for a real idea

Practice layout and text, then ask the agent to make it work well on phones.

4. An expense tracker

Introduces data, totals and simple charts, and gives you something genuinely useful.

5. A small automation script

Rename files, clean a spreadsheet or collect information. It shows how code saves real time.

How to work with the agent

• Describe the goal in plain language.
• Read every change it proposes.
• Ask it to add tests and to explain what it did.
• Commit your work often so you can go back.
