Workshop Syllabus · Level 2

When the AI Gets Confused, Our Humans Step In.

We un-stick your project and show you how to move from “prototype” to “useful tool”.

01 Syllabus

What we cover, hour by hour.

Four modules, designed to be experienced in order.

  1. Module 01 1 hour

    The AI Code Clinic

    Goal
    The “Triage” phase. We identify why your app isn’t behaving and fix the immediate ‘vibe-killers.’

    What we cover

    • 01

      The Triage

      Bring your current project. Our experts help you identify “Tangled Prompts” and logic loops.

    • 02

      Reading the Red

      A non-technical guide to understanding error messages (they aren’t as scary as they look!).

    • 03

      The “Clean Slate” Strategy

      Learning when to keep pushing and when to ask the AI to rewrite a section from scratch for better clarity.

    • 04

      Fixing the Foundation

      Ensuring your messy prototype is migrated safely toward a structured environment.

  2. Module 02 1.5 hours

    Advanced Vibes – Data & Logic

    Goal
    Moving beyond simple text. We teach you how to handle the “heavy lifting” of a real app.

    What we cover

    • 01

      Handling Data

      How to make your app “remember” things. An intro to simple databases and saving user input.

    • 02

      Logic Loops & If-Then-Else

      Creating more complex features (e.g., “If the task is overdue, turn the text red and send me a notification”).

    • 03

      Working with Images & Files

      How to let users upload photos or download PDF reports from your tool.

    • 04

      API Basics (The Connector)

      A friendly intro to making your app talk to other tools like Microsoft 365, Slack, or Google Maps.

  3. Module 03 1 hour

    Peer Review & “Pro” Polishing

    Goal
    Getting a fresh set of eyes on your work and adding that ‘professional’ feel.

    What we cover

    • 01

      The Round Table

      Present your app to the group. We share solutions to common problems we all hit.

    • 02

      Senior Engineer Review

      Direct feedback from Gareth or Tom. They’ll spot the “Engineering Flaws” the AI missed.

    • 03

      The UX/UI Polish

      Small tweaks to buttons, spacing, and colors that make your “vibe-coded” tool look like it was built by a pro agency.

    • 04

      Security 101

      A quick check to make sure you aren’t accidentally leaving your data “doors” unlocked.

  4. Module 04 30 mins

    Deployment & The Road to Production

    Goal
    Preparing for the world to see it.

    What we cover

    • 01

      The Hosting Roadmap

      Choosing between “Shared Vibe Hosting” and setting up your own professional cloud account.

    • 02

      Version Control for Humans

      A very simple guide to Git—how to save “snapshots” of your app so you can go back if you break it later.

    • 03

      Maintenance Vibes

      What to do when the AI model updates or your needs change.

02 Swag Bag

The “Builder’s Toolkit” (Takeaway Resources).

Every participant leaves with:

  • 01

    The Debugging Cheat Sheet

    A list of “Magic Prompts” to fix 90% of common AI coding errors.

  • 02

    The “Pro” Component Library

    A set of pre-written code snippets for menus, logins, and data tables you can drop into any app.

  • 03

    The Rescue Credit

    A voucher for a 30-minute 1-on-1 “Deep Dive” with a VibeMagic engineer if you hit a wall next week.

What’s Next?

Did the AI get confused and break your app? If you’ve hit the 75% Wall, our senior engineers step in. We don’t just fix the bug — we clean up the architecture so it doesn’t happen again.
