What is Code With Vibes?
Code With Vibes is a paid, self-paced course for building working software by directing an AI coding agent. That can be Claude Code, Codex, or a free model running on your own machine. The 26 modules run from setup and your first build through local models, an always-on agent, APIs, data, retrieval, agents, evals, safety, and a capstone. You get every module the day you buy.
Who is Code With Vibes for?
Code With Vibes is for people who want to build their own tools and automations with AI. Think operators, founders, creators, junior developers, and solo builders. Prior programming experience is optional. The agent writes the code. The course teaches you to direct it, check what it changed, and fix it when it's wrong. You'll use a terminal, and the setup lab walks you through it from the first command. Want live coaching or a done-for-you build? Skip the paid course.
What will I build in Code With Vibes?
Before the capstone you build a small tested app, a model running on your own machine, and an always-on agent you can message from your phone. You also build a streamed model application and a provider adapter. For the capstone you pick one of seven use-case tracks. You produce a proposal, a data-flow diagram, a threat model, representative evals, a tested failure path, and operator docs for your own system. Four capstone tracks come with working starter projects.
Does Code With Vibes teach Claude Code and Codex?
Yes. Code With Vibes has equal-footing setup recipes for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. It adds a free route that runs either one on a local model, and a module on always-on agents like Hermes Agent and OpenClaw. The lessons teach the workflow they share: scoped tasks, project instructions, diff review, tests, permissions, handoffs, and recovery. Exhaustive product coverage stays with the vendor docs and academies.
Why pay for Code With Vibes when Anthropic Academy and OpenAI Academy are free?
Anthropic Academy and OpenAI Academy are good, free places to learn their own tools. They give you current setup, product concepts, and practical Claude Code or Codex workflows straight from the vendors, so use them. Code With Vibes is worth paying for only if you want one vendor-neutral build path of 60 to 80 hours. It runs through local models, always-on agents, apps, APIs, data, retrieval, evals, safety, failure handling, and a capstone. The current price is on this page.
