Course overview
Turn plain English into production‑ready software. In the highlight‑reel you speak a prompt, an app materialises, and it’s live before lunch.
When you try it solo, you hit:
🔄 Endless “almost‑works” prompts that crumble on edge‑cases
🧪 No tests, no version control, no rollback safety‑net
⚡ A conveyor‑belt of shiny tools that change every week
AI‑Augmented Software Creation fixes those gaps by fusing AI‑first workflows with rock‑solid engineering practice.
What makes this program different
💬 English‑as‑Code - instructors narrate every step while “talking” code into existence, then dissect each prompt, diff, and revert.
🧪 Safety Nets Baked‑In - every lab auto‑generates integration tests, sets up CI, and ends with a “debug‑with‑the‑AI” exercise.
🔄 Tool Agnostic, Not Tool Fragile - hands‑on speed‑dating with Cursor, Replit Agent, LangChain, Copilot plus any new vendor that joins mid‑cohort; you graduate with a decision matrix, not vendor lock‑in.
💰 Lean Pricing, Heavy Value - 4 live workshops, 4 guided labs, 2 guest AMAs, private Slack, lifetime recordings — all for $995.
By week 4 you will,
🚀 Draft a prompt and ship a working feature in under 60 minutes
🛠️ Refactor AI‑generated spaghetti into clean, modular code with passing tests
🌐 Launch a full‑stack micro‑app on Replit or Vercel with CI, error‑tracking & cost dashboards
🔒 Spot licensing, privacy, and prompt‑security risks before your boss does
How the cohort works:
1️⃣ Reserve your seat in the next cohort (dates below).
2️⃣ Join four 90‑minute, demo‑driven classes (Tue 17:00 BST / 09:00 PT) and complete four async labs.
3️⃣ Stay connected in private Slack for feedback, tool drops, and lifelong community.
Why now?
Since Andrej Karpathy’s February 2025 tweet popularised “vibe coding,” AI‑assisted development has exploded, but structured training is still scarce. This course turns that buzzword into a repeatable, defensible skill set.
By graduation you’ll speak AI‑augmented software fluently, translating ideas into secure, production‑grade apps whenever inspiration strikes - without waiting for a dev team or a stroke of luck.

Founders, Tech Leads & Engineering Managers
Prompt → Prototype in under an hour
Speak a BACK/SPEC prompt, watch Cursor or Replit Agent scaffold a working app, and iterate live until it runs—no deep coding background required.
Built‑in Code Quality & Guard‑rails
Apply the 3‑Rule Framework—smart tool choice, auto‑generated tests in version control, and prompt‑level guard‑rails—so AI output stays review‑ready and future‑proof.
Clean Refactors, Not Spaghetti
Turn first‑draft blobs into readable, modular components with Cursor’s multi‑file chat, background agents, and diff review—all while the tests stay green.
Deploy & Monitor Like a Pro
One‑click push to Replit or Vercel with secrets, CI, scheduled redeploys, error tracking, and token‑usage dashboards—your demo link “just works.”
Quantify and Sell the ROI
Leave with a time‑and‑cost delta calculator and a 5‑slide deck template that prove exactly how AI‑augmented workflows cut budgets and accelerate delivery.
Live sessions
Learn directly from Akshika Wijesundara, PhD in a real-time, interactive format.
Lifetime access
Go back to course content and recordings whenever you need to.
