1-day AI builder workshop

Prompting and specs for AI coding tools

A practical 1-day workshop for turning rough ideas into clear instructions AI coding tools can actually follow.

Most poor AI build results come from unclear instructions, weak context and oversized requests. This workshop helps you write better prompts, specs, acceptance criteria and debugging instructions so AI tools can produce more useful work.
