Beyond Vibe Coding: From Prototype to Real Users
Have you hit the Vibe Coding Wall?
You built an app with Lovable, Cursor, or Claude Code. It felt like magic.
Then one small change broke three other things. Your AI kept forgetting earlier decisions. Suddenly, you're spending more time fixing bugs than building.
Don't worry, there's a better way
In this hands-on workshop, learn how build a product you can confidently launch to real users.
We'll show you how to use spec-driven development: giving your AI coding agent a clear plan, the right context, and guardrails so it knows what and how to build.
Bring your product idea and coding agent. Leave with:
A build-ready product spec (PRD) that gives your AI coding agent clear instructions.
An engineering plan covering how your app works, its architecture, and a build & test plan.
Reusable custom AI skills to help you plan, review, and improve future builds.

FAQ
Why does my AI-built app keep breaking when I make changes?
AI coding tools can lose track of earlier decisions or change parts of your app you didn't intend to touch. We'll show you how clear specs and reusable instructions can help prevent that.
What is spec-driven development? Do I need to know how to code?
It's a way of giving AI a clear blueprint before asking it to build. You don't need traditional coding experience, but you should have tried building with an AI coding tool.
Can I use this with Lovable, Cursor, or Claude Code?
Yes! The approach works across AI coding tools. I recommend one that lets you select the model and see the filetree (eg Cursor, VS Code with Claude/ChatGPT/Gemini plugins) but you can use any tool you prefer.
Will my app be ready to launch after 90 minutes?
Not quite. You'll leave with a product spec, architecture plan, and reusable AI skills to start building toward production with more confidence.
