Join the AI-First App Developer Mentoring to make Your Agents Write Senior-Level Code And Do the Work Of a whole Development Team
Master 2026's most essential AI workflows & strategies for Android and KMP development in the shortest possible time to become the app developer companies actively reach out to.
The AI-First App Developer Mentoring is for you, if …
- … you develop apps with Kotlin (native Android or KMP).
- … you notice the trends about AI-driven development, but have no idea where to start.
- … you're already using some AI tools, but lack the structure to get to confidently orchestrating multiple agents in parallel.
- … you are NOT looking for a vibe coding course, but want to learn using in professional dev environments from real developers with real experience.
- … you are able to commit 7-10h / week over 6 months.
Your agent doesn't do what you want? That's a setup issue.
Using AI as a tool to get consistent output is not based on luck - it's based on how you set up your workflow, quality gates, verification loops and memory structure.
Your AI tool and model doesn't matter.
If you're unable to integrate them into a setup and workflow that fits to your codebase, team and internal requirements you will always get bad output.
If you've played around with an AI tool already, but found yourself having to fix too many issues manually, that's NOT an AI problem. It's simply HOW you use it.
Whether an engineering team needs to consist of 10 people or just 2 - it's all decided by how it integrates AI.
Bad developer, good Al workflow:
High output
Quick iterations
Unstable software
Great developer, bad Al workflow:
Very slow output

The PL Coding AI Workflow
Using AI as a tool to get consistent output is not based on luck - it's based on how you set up your workflow, quality gates, verification loops and memory structure.
Planning & Specification
Craft a clear and detailed specification of what is going to be built.
Task decomposition
Divide big tasks into smaller digestible ones for several agents to handle.
Verification loops
Build self-correcting agents who automatically validate the Ul, the code, the behavior and important other metrics.
Multi-agent implementation
Implement the changes with several parallel agents running independently for maximum speed-up.
Professional review
Careful, but efficient review of the generated code to fix issues.
CI
Deterministic verification layer to ensure and enforce a high code quality before merging.

Who is the AI-First App Developer Mentoring For?
- Inconsistent output: You already played around a bit with agents, but the output is bad and quickly breaks.
- Feeling lost: You know you should generate >90% of your code with agents, but you completely lack the structure to get there.
- Missing system: You just enter your prompt into the agent and hope for the best - you lack a clear system for context engineering, memory engineering and verification.
- Career change: You're looking for a new job, but realized that all of them list working with agents as a requirement.
- App dev freelancers: You want to deliver work faster while charging the same rates - and ultimately handle 2-3x more clients.
- Feeling overwhelmed: You feel left behind by all the fast changes in the AI ecosystem and want to learn what matters ASAP with a clear structure.
- Bring your app idea to life: You have an idea for an app you want to build a business around, but lack the time to implement it.

The entire technical team at PL Coding is there to help you with any important questions and decisions about mobile development and AI-driven app development.We'll provide honest feedback and assessment on your current approaches to help you become an extremely desirable mobile developer.
Analyzing your current AI setup & workflows
In case you're already working with agents in some way, we'll take a close look at your current setup. Based on that we'll spot issues and gaps to then build a customized learning & practice path for you.
Learn to Build Complex Production Apps With Agents
Get everything you need to work on large-scale applications with the help of clear AI workflows that give you predictable results.
- Proactive AI setup review of your project to spot issues you aren't aware of
- Learn to make your agents deliver reliable & consistent results by coupling success to the right quality metrics
- Get a proven 3-8x speed-up while keeping your code quality at a senior level
1:1 Chat
Ask any question whenever it comes up in a personal chat group with Philipp Lackner and his team of mentors. Whatever question you have - about the practice projects, about the project at your workplace or even your own app - we have the right answers for you.
Proactive Mentoring
Asking questions is great, but only as long as you know your questions. Since you don't know what you don't know, we'll additionally review your work proactively to spot setup issues, missing skills, missing custom agents and more you aren't aware of yourself.
Q&A Calls
Ask your questions person-to-person in regular video sessions to get personalized and direct feedback on your challenges and approaches.
- Individual feedback to your AI workflows
- Direct discussions with Philipp Lackner
- Honest advice and guidance
