Vibe Coding Mastery: Turning Product Ideas into Software

Vikash Rungta

xPM Meta SuperIntelligence Labs

In 2026, the PM who can't build is the PM who gets left behind.

💡What if you walked into your next roadmap review with a working product, tested with real users, showing proof instead of asking engineering for permission?

What if you could test your idea with real users before you write the spec?

What if you stopped asking Engineering for permission and started showing them proof?

This course teaches you how.

The Evolution of the PM

"Spec writing isn't ending. But it is changing forever."

For the last decade, the "Spec" was the product. You spent weeks crafting it, reviewing it, defending it.

But in 2026, the Spec is no longer a document. It's a Prototype.🧩

Why write 10 pages explaining a user flow when you can build a working version in 20 minutes? ⏱️

  • Old Way: 📝Write requirements →⏳ Wait for Eng → 🎨Review Mockups → 🔁Iterate

  • New Way: 🛠️Build Prototype → 👥Test with Users → 📦Hand "Working Spec" to Eng

The best PMs aren't bypassing Engineering. They are accelerating Engineering by solving the ambiguity problem before a single line of production code is written 🚀

In 2026, you don't need to write code to build software.

You don't need to know syntax. You don't need to debug. You don't need a Computer Science degree.

You just need to know how to Vibe

What you’ll learn

Vibe Coding is the skill of using AI to translate your intent into software. It replaces Syntax with Context, which is your superpower.

  • Stop being a "Spec Writer" and start being a "Builder."

  • Ship a live, working product in your very first session.

  • It might be a simple landing page. It might be a personal portfolio. But it will be real. It will have a URL. And it will be yours.

  • As a PM, you already know the edge cases. You know the user flow. You know the "Why." You were just missing the tool to make it real.

  • We teach you a workflow using a curated set of browser-based AI tools that allows you to:

  • 1. Generate interfaces by describing them. 2. Logic your way through complex problems. 3. Deploy to the real world instantly.

  • FROM wondering what "Agentic AI" actually means TO knowing exactly how to deploy an agent in 5 minutes.

  • FROM asking "Can AI build this?" TO Showing "Here is the prototype I built."

  • FROM zero proof of technical ability TO a portfolio of live products that prove you are a builder.

  • Action-First: Every session ends with a build. No theory without practice.

  • Async-First: No mandatory Zoom calls. Build when it suits you.

  • Community-Powered: Join the Community of Builders. Live support when you're stuck.

Testimonials

  • This intensive program delved deep into integrating Al into product strategies, emphasizing practical applications and real-world impact.

    Capstone Project Highlight:

    As part of the course, our team developed an Automated Customer Dispute Resolution Solution for Airbnb, aiming to enhance efficiency and customer satisfaction. This hands-on experience was invaluable and has directly influenced my approach to product management.

    A big thank you to the instructors and peers who made this journey enriching. Here's to continuous growth and embracing the future of Al in product management!

  • A huge shoutout to Vikash Rungta for his incredible guidance and teaching the GenAl for Product Managers course!

    This course was an absolute game-changer, providing hands-on experience in building AI-driven products with real-world impact. Vikash's expertise, engaging teaching style, and deep industry insights made complex AI concepts practical, actionable, and inspiring for product managers.

    His ability to break down LLMs, Al workflows, and business applications into clear and strategic frameworks was invaluable. I walked away not just with AI knowledge but with the confidence to drive AI-powered innovations. Thanks for your dedication to empowering the next generation of AI-savvy product managers!

    If you're a PM looking to level up your Al game, I highly recommend learning from him!

  • 'Hello World' all over again.

    Thank you Vikash Rungta for reminding me of the time I wrote my first lines of code that displayed 'Hello World' on the screen. But this time around, I didn't write code, I just wrote a prompt! And what did I make?

    Made a game of Tic Tac Toe on Claude - https://lnkd.in/emJQPc9z

    A cute Expense Management app on v0 - https://lnkd.in/emDvEsUT

    I trained a model to recognise a pen, a notebook and Me :)

    Tried my hand on Playground and Al Studio

    And built an Al agent using Langflow!

    Not just that, Vikash had 200+ slides that taught us how an LLM is built, what a Foundation Model is, I learnt what a Token is (played with Tiktokenizer), I learnt Temperature determines model Creativity (LOL!), we went deep into prompt engineering, learnt about CoT, RAG, Embeddings, Agents, etc

  • A huge thanks to Vikash Rungta for a mind-expanding course that took us from the basics of training a model to building an Al agent with Langflow. This wasn't just about code; it was a masterclass in the #FirstPrinciples of #GenerativeAl, emphasizing that #TechFluency is the new language for leaders.

    The most valuable part? Connecting with so many founders and executives focused on the big question: where are the #moats in this Al-first world? A truly insightful and well-organized forum.

  • From this point onward, every produg going to be an Al product." - Vikash Rungta

    Truly enriching-not just because of the content itself, but because of how Vikash seamlessly embedded conventional product management methodology into the world of Al. It's reshaping the profession, redefining what it means to be a product manager, and influencing how we interact with products and services in the future.

    Big thanks to our instructor. Every lecture was insightful, but what stood out most was his openness-sharing both personal and professional stories that makes him such a relatable person that encouraged us to think differently, challenge norms, and push further even in unfamiliar territory.

  • Exciting Milestone in My Al Learning Journey

    I'm thrilled to share that I've recently completed the Generative Al for Product Managers course through Stanford Continuing Studies, taught by the incredible Vikash Rungta.

    While I've taken a few Al Product Manager courses, this one stands out. Vikash's approach focused not just on Al fundamentals, but on solving real business problems-a perspective I believe is crucial for all product manager in this space. The capstone project provided hands-on experience, ensuring I could apply the concepts immediately, beyond just theoretical learning. I left the course better equipped to apply these learnings to my role.

    But the journey doesn't stop there. I'm currently diving deeper and taking his Zero to Launch-GenAl Product Builder Bootcamp.
