AI & Modern Builds
Learn to Build Real Products with AI Coding Tools
Hands-on coaching for founders and solo builders to use Cursor, Claude, and AI development tools to ship real products — not just prototypes.
The Problem
AI Coding Tools Are Powerful and Dangerous Without Guidance
Every week, another founder announces they're building their startup with Cursor and Claude. Some of them ship. Most hit a wall at 60% done, with a codebase too chaotic to complete and no idea how to get unstuck. The tools are real; the learning curve is steeper than the demos suggest.
The mistake isn't using AI tools — it's using them without the foundation to evaluate what they produce. Cursor generates code that looks right but isn't. Claude suggests approaches that work in isolation but create architectural problems at scale. Without judgment to recognise these issues, you don't know you're in trouble until it's expensive to fix.
Vibe Builder Coaching is for founders and builders who want to genuinely learn — not just copy prompts, but understand why something works, how to recognise when AI is leading you astray, and how to build the judgment that makes AI tools genuinely powerful.
Our Approach
Learn by Building Your Actual Product
We coach on real projects, not toy examples. The most effective learning happens when you're building something you actually care about, with real stakes and real problems. Our coaching sessions are structured around your actual build — we work through your specific challenges.
The curriculum covers the foundations: understanding the code AI generates well enough to review it, architectural patterns that make AI tools effective, debugging strategies for AI-generated code, and the development workflow that separates hobbyist builds from production products.
Coaching is one-on-one or in small groups, with session recordings and a curriculum tailored to your experience level and project type. You're not on a generic course — you're getting mentorship from engineers who've shipped real products.
