- Phases
The Plan
Ep 1–3- Ep 01
The Idea Isn't the Problem. The Plan Is.
Why 90% of builders fail before they write a single line of code — and the exact framework to fix it.
“Your idea isn't the problem. Your plan is.”
- Product thinking
- Ideation
- Hook episode
- Ep 02
Distilling Vision Into a Blueprint
How to take a product vision and compress it into a document that AI can actually execute.
“If you can't write it down, you can't ship it.”
- PRD writing
- Prompt design
- Framework drop
- Ep 03
Prompts Are Programs. Write Them Like It.
The shift from "asking AI" to "programming AI" — and why it changes everything about how you build.
“Stop asking AI for help. Start giving it instructions.”
- Prompt engineering
- Agent instructions
- Mindset shift
The Architecture
Ep 4–6- Ep 04
Wiring the Orchestrator: Your AI Project Manager
How to build the brain of your AI system — the orchestrator that delegates, routes, and coordinates everything.
“This is where your product starts to think for itself.”
- Agent architecture
- Orchestration
- Wow moment
- Ep 05
Building Your Bot Squad: Specialists, Not Generalists
Why one AI agent can't do everything — and how to design a team of specialized bots that out-perform any solo model.
“Don't hire a generalist. Build a squad.”
- Multi-agent
- Bot design
- Team breakdown
- Ep 06
Memory, Context & State: Making AI That Remembers
The missing piece most builders ignore — how to give your agents persistent memory so they actually learn your product.
“Stateless agents are expensive. Stateful agents are powerful.”
- Context management
- State design
- Aha moment
The Build
Ep 7–9- Ep 07
GitHub as Your Source of Truth
How to structure your repo so your AI agents and your human team can collaborate without stepping on each other.
“Your repo is a conversation between you and your AI. Structure it that way.”
- GitHub
- Repo structure
- Practical gold
- Ep 08
CI/CD for AI: Pipelines That Ship Themselves
Building a CI/CD pipeline that integrates AI agents into every stage — test, review, merge, and deploy, automatically.
“I pushed code. My pipeline did the rest. I didn't touch it again.”
- CI/CD
- GitHub Actions
- Automation flex
- Ep 09
Live Build: Idea to MVP in 60 Minutes
Everything from episodes 1–8 applied in real-time. One idea. One hour. One working MVP.
“This is the episode they'll share. Make it a spectacle.”
- Live build
- Speedrun
- Must-watch event
Production & Scale
Ep 10–11- Ep 10
Hardening for Production: What Breaks When Real Users Arrive
The gap between "it works on my machine" and "it works for 10,000 users" — and exactly how to close it.
“Shipping is the start. Surviving is the skill.”
- Production readiness
- Monitoring
- Reality check
- Ep 11
Execute at the Speed of Thought: What's Next
The finish line isn't the last deploy. It's when you can't tell the difference between having an idea and having it shipped.
“This isn't the end of the series. It's the start of the movement.”
- Vision
- Community
- Movement moment
