“Thanks again for an incredible workshop Joshua! My obsession with Cursor has exponentially deepened. Cannot recommend this workshop highly enough. The care and thought put into it was excellent, and the skills and workflows I came away with have truly levelled up my product design practice.”
Pip Shea Principal Product Designer at CSIRO “It was such an epic day!! So glad I signed up last year, the wait was worth it. It has opened doors for me personally in my AI vibe coding journey. Highly recommend — even to complete beginners!”
Freya Stockman Product Designer @ Relevance AI “For someone who isn't a developer, an IDE can feel like a wall. Cursor's agent lowers that barrier... I've worked with Josh and seen his passion for teaching. I'd recommend his sessions to anyone looking to level up from vibe-coding.”
Michael Potter Product and Experience Design “What a powerful learning experience. The way the workshop was structured made complex AI workflows feel approachable and exciting. I really appreciated how intentional the environment was — supportive, hands on, and deeply practical.”
Sonia Bedrosian UX/UI & Graphic Designer 🧑🍳 The core lesson
Three steps to cook with any agent
-
1 Specify
Specify the work
Tell your agent exactly what you want, like writing the shopping list together before anyone heads to the shops.
-
2 Verify
Let it check its work
Think about how your agent can check its own work, the way a good chef tastes the dish before it leaves the kitchen.
-
3 Effort
Say how much effort
Tell your agent how much effort the job deserves, or it might come home with the whole supermarket.
Specify, verify, effort: a repeatable skill you can take to any agent, across different tools and workflows.

🍽️ What you'll cook up
Your own agentic workspace
Build and publish your own software, run a team of agents on schedules, then combine the two. We cook because everyone gets recipes.
Your own recipe app
Build and publish a custom cooking companion that lives on your phone.
A team of kitchen bots
Agents on schedules that organise your recipes, plan the meals and plan the shopping.
The two, combined
One agentic workspace where your bots and your app work side by side.
👋 Who it's for
Curious? You're in the right kitchen
You've never written code
Perfect. No coding and no tech job needed — just curiosity and an appetite.
You'd love help in the kitchen
Hand the recipe sorting, meal planning and shopping lists to a team of bots.
You already chat with AI
Go from one-off chats to agents that work on a schedule, and software of your own.

❓ Good to know
Frequently asked
Do I need to know how to code?
No coding experience required. The workshop assumes you're non-technical — you don't even have to work in tech. The goal is to learn enough to build your own personal software so you can practise.
I already use Cursor. Will I learn anything new?
Yes — this isn't a tour of Cursor features. It's about the craft of working with an agent: when to plan, when to prototype, when to start fresh, when to ship. Even experienced users tend to skip the moves that make this sustainable.
What if I want to build something other than a recipe app?
Everyone builds the recipe app during the workshop (it's our teaching vehicle), but the patterns transfer directly to any AI-first application — a CRM, a fitness tracker, a personal tool, a side project.
