get the Single most important skill of the future to Bulletproof Your Android or KMP Career Against AI Disruption
Master AI-assisted app development by being mentored from Philipp Lackner and his team of AI experts - and get the kick in the a** you need to not sleep over the most important industry shift of your career.
The 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.
I'm Looking For 8 Android Developers.
"Most developers still just chat back and forth with ChatGPT or occassionally use random agents to solve small, niche problems.
They struggle to see reality in the eyes. They still think they will type all the code themselves in 3 years from now, but don't realize that RIGHT NOW is already the time where that's not necessary anymore.
And this is not about vibe coding. This is not about skipping the technical fundamentals. Deeply understanding system design and the tech stack you work with is becoming a requirement to let AI build on top of that.
If you give AI the wrong foundation, it will build garbage 10x faster. But if you supervise, know what quality code looks like and how you make AI write that, it will build high-quality software 10x faster."
And that's why I'm looking for an small, exclusive early access group of Android and KMP developers who want to get both: A super solid technical foundation and then letting modern AI execute on that.
This Is How The 6-Month Mentoring helps you master AI-First App Development
Master the technical foundation with an individual learning plan
Build Complex Real-World Software - With AI
Ask Your questions in Regular Zoom Sessions
Q&A - whenever you need it
After the Mentoring You Will Have Validated Hands-On Experience About…

LLM Fundamentals
Truly understand how AI works under the hood, why & when it hallucinates and what you can do against that.
These fundamentals will give you a thorough understanding of when to trust AI and when better not to.
Agentic development
You'll know exactly which AI tools to use for which purpose - and how you use them to get a 5-10x productivity boost.
Prompt Engineering
Learn what makes good prompts - not by following the next basic prompting course, but by learning to practically apply the science behind that.
AI-Driven Development
You'll learn to deal with all the challenges AI-driven development brings and how the way you use those tools will differ as projects and teams scale.
System Design & Android Architecture
We'll make sure you'll have a great understanding of mobile app system design to let AI build on the right foundation.
You'll learn in detail how to break down larger projects into distinct features and requirements AI can execute on.

Data-heavy apps
You won't just learn to work with basic REST APIs and simple databases, but deal with the entire data-layer stack:
- Offline-first development
- Synchronization techniques
- Partial uploads
- Performance
Jetpack Compose & Design Systems
Get into building high performing UIs with Jetpack Compose, learn to integrate complex animations and more.
And way more...
This is not an exclusive list... The mentoring will provide you with everything you need to build world-class Android or KMP apps with AI - both on the technical side as well as how to use AI in that workflow.
