Drop into a messy build.
A broken checkout. A suspicious fix. An AI confidently inventing an API. Sound familiar?

Your AI is confident.
Earn the right
to be.

Your honest “no” is useful feedback, too.
A few things to know.
Is the free game using AI to judge me?
No. Each mission uses authored choices and explanations. This makes the free campaign consistent and inexpensive to run. Open-ended AI evaluation is a possible future feature.
Do I need to be a developer?
The first campaign focuses on building software with AI. You don’t need to write code, but familiarity with AI coding tools will help. Tell us in the waitlist if you’d like scenarios for another kind of work.
What happens if I get an answer wrong?
You see the consequence, learn why that choice fell short, and try again. You never lose XP. A completed mission awards XP only once.
Is this a certification or a perfect-prompt course?
Neither. It’s a small practice ground for spotting common failure modes. The best choice is based on each scenario’s constraints; real work can have several good solutions.
