Build
An afternoon. A working agent. Yours to take home.
Build is the tier for people who want to walk out of VibeFest with a working AI agent — not a toy, not a demo, a thing that does real work on their behalf.
The afternoon is structured like a focused studio session. We start with the agent shape (what it sees, what it does, what it refuses), spend the middle building, and end with a working system that runs on your own hardware.
What the time looks like.
Shape the agent.
Scope, inputs, outputs, guardrails. Before any code: what does this thing actually do? Who uses it? What must never happen?
Scaffold.
Wire up the runtime, LLM, tool-calls, logging. Walk out of this hour with an empty-but-alive skeleton that responds to one input.
Build the core loop.
The agent's actual job. Step by step: perception, reasoning, action. Iterate. Debug. Break it on purpose. Fix it.
Patterns, harden, ship.
The patterns you'll reach for again — memory, retries, cost-control, prompt injection defense. Wire them in. Add observability. Walk out with a README, a runbook, and a working bot.
What you walk out with.
- A working AI agent that does one thing well — on your Mac.
- Full source code, well-commented, with the patterns named.
- If you chose +Mac Mini M4: the Mini itself, yours to keep. (~$600 of real hardware on top of the workshop.)
Who it’s for.
For you if
- You can read code (any language) and want to write agents.
- You've got a real use-case — a thing at work, a side project, a life automation.
- You want a focused afternoon, not a self-paced course that dies on week two.
- You're ready to spend a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Saturday afternoon on it.
Maybe not if
- You've never coded — Vibe or Learn first.
- You need multi-day co-building with a partner to ship something real — that's Ship.
- You can't commit an afternoon — Learn is the 2-hour version.
Where to go from here.
