How many hours have you wasted fixing AI-generated code?
In 8 modules you'll learn the system that senior teams use to ship faster without losing control of the code.
“I left with a clear, repeatable process for my own projects.”
“It completely exceeded my expectations. It's 100% practical, intensive, and well-structured.”
Do any of these sound familiar?
You use AI every day but still take just as long to ship because you're fixing more than you're generating
The AI gives you a different project structure every session and you no longer know which one is right
The generated code 'seems to work', but you don't fully understand it and couldn't test it or explain it in a code review
The AI loses context between conversations and you have to repeat the technical decisions you already made
Your team uses AI in completely different ways and the project code fragments instead of improving
You're afraid to take AI-generated code to production because you have no way to verify it's reliable
If you identified with at least one, this workshop is for you.
There's a better way to work
Here's what you'll achieve after the 8 modules:
A repeatable method from start to finish
You'll learn to specify before coding: tell the AI exactly what to build, with what constraints, and in what order. Hallucinations decrease when the context is precise.
Code you understand and can defend
You'll build with AI, not for AI. Every generated function will have its tests, context, and reason for being. You'll be able to explain any piece of code in a code review.
A configured and ready-to-use stack
You take away a fully set up environment: integrated tools, configuration files, spec and ADR templates. Your next project starts in hours, not days.
What you'll learn and master
8 modules. 5 sessions. 12.5 hours. A complete AI development system.
Fundamentals and Setup
Problem you solve
You don't understand how AI works under the hood and your environment isn't set up to get the most out of it.
What you'll learn
- Generative AI fundamentals: LLMs, tokens, context window, benchmarks
- Why AI generates garbage (and how to avoid it)
- The 4 principles of AI-Driven Development and the Explore, Plan, Code, Validate flow
- The full spectrum: Vibe Coding vs. Guided Development vs. Agentic Coding
- Copilot and Claude Code setup: configuration, modes, models, ecosystem overview, and criteria for choosing
You take away
Stack configured and running. Clarity on which tool to use and why.
Real AI costs for development
Problem you solve
You don't know how much you're spending on AI tools, whether what you pay is worth it, or how to justify it to your boss.
What you'll learn
- How much each tool costs per month: plans, tokens, API
- How to control spending and optimize consumption
- How to have the cost conversation with your boss
You take away
Full stack cost map.
AI in existing codebases
Problem you solve
Most tutorials build from scratch. You have a codebase with years of history and need the AI to work within those constraints.
What you'll learn
- How to give the AI context about an existing codebase
- Generate retroactive documentation with AI: specs, READMEs, diagrams, architecture decisions
- Incorporate rule and configuration files into projects already in production
- Use AI to understand legacy or unfamiliar code
You take away
A playbook for integrating AI into any existing project, without starting from scratch.
The tools stack
Some of the tools we'll use during the workshop. We use what actually works in production, not what's trendy.

You take away configuration files for the full stack, ready to use.
What participants say
“It's not a theoretical course or simple demonstrations: it's a 100% practical experience where you genuinely learn to work with AI like a professional developer. We built a complete application from scratch—frontend, backend, and database—following a specification-driven approach that avoids hallucinations and delivers consistent code. One of the most valuable points was understanding how to integrate AI into my real workflow: from assisted debugging, automated code review and quality pipelines, to professional tools like GitHub Copilot, Supabase, and more. I left with a clear, repeatable process for my own projects.”
Aderson Rangel 🇨🇴
Verified Buyer
“The AI-Driven Development Workshop completely exceeded my expectations. It's 100% practical, intensive, and well-structured, teaching you to use AI as a true professional copilot: from transforming ideas into precise specifications to generating functional code, tests, migrations, and automated quality reviews. I learned a clear, applicable workflow from day one, using modern tools and a real stack that accelerates development without improvisation.”
Oscar Dario Florez Diaz 🇨🇦
Verified Buyer
“The Workshop was a super dynamic and practical experience. From the very first moment we worked on a concrete task, learning as a group and sharing valuable tips. The best part is that it doesn't stay in theory: every challenge comes up live and we solve it together, which means you genuinely learn by doing. The collaborative energy and focus on real solutions make it a unique workshop.”
Nico Quiroz 🇦🇷
Verified Buyer
“An exceptional workshop: intense and completely hands-on sessions where we started from a simple idea and transformed it into solid specifications, well-defined tasks, and finally into functional code. The content was of the highest quality and perfectly structured. Without a doubt, we left with the knowledge needed to get the most out of AI in our daily development tasks.”
Jhon Fredy Martinez Realpe 🇨🇴
Verified Buyer
“The course is excellent. The content is practical and from the very first class high-value concepts are introduced. What I highlight most is that it provides solid foundations for starting to work with AI-guided development, including templates, contexts and structures that serve as starting points for future projects. Explanations are clear and every session delivers useful tools. Highly recommended.”
Miguel Nuñez 🇺🇾
Verified Buyer
“The promise of building an application with AI as a guide is fulfilled perfectly. What I value most is that you don't just leave with a finished project — you discover an arsenal of new tools and workflows that boost your productivity immediately. Manuel and David are great mentors who make advanced concepts feel accessible. It completely exceeded my expectations.”
JOSE A GONZALEZ R 🇨🇴
Verified Buyer
“I definitely recommend this workshop to anyone who wants to take their development skills to the next level with the help of AI, using it professionally and effectively. David and Manuel are professionals with vast experience and knowledge; their guidance throughout the sessions has been incredible and very valuable.”
Ivan González Mendoza 🇲🇽
Verified Buyer
“I loved this workshop. It was super practical: I built backend, frontend, and database working with AI in a structured way that's easy to replicate on other projects. Everything was very educational with high-value content I can actually apply in my workflow, plus it reinforced essential foundations for understanding AI. Manuel and David are amazing teachers, 100% recommended.”
Camila Morales 🇨🇴
Verified Buyer
“A workshop of excellent technical quality and structure. We went from zero to functional code, covering the entire development cycle. The main result is that we now have the practical ability to apply AI in our everyday development tasks. Great duo of instructors, Manuel and David.”

Bring the system to your team
We know you don't just want to learn this for yourself. That's why the Live plan includes the Team Implementation Kit: a package of documents, templates, and frameworks ready for you to propose an AI usage standard at your company.
A one-pager document explaining which project rules to implement, why, and how to present it to your team. It's not the .cursorrules file (everyone already gets that), it's the document that justifies why your team should adopt it.
Criteria any team member can follow to review PRs with AI code. It's not the CodeRabbit configuration, it's the human review process.
A roadmap for introducing AI tools to your team gradually: from a one-person pilot to full adoption. With clear criteria for moving from one phase to the next.
A ready-made template to measure and report AI impact on your team: delivery time, code quality, and onboarding speed. So you have data when your boss asks if it works.
Copy it, adapt it to your context, and present it on Monday.
