Vibe Coding Course: Build Tools With AI (Free)

Vibe coding means building software by describing what you want to an AI coding assistant and steering it, instead of typing every line yourself. This free course shows office professionals how to do it well — so the tools you build actually work, and stay safe.

You will learn to

• Set up an AI coding assistant and a safe project folder
• Write descriptions that produce working code the first time
• Build a real tool: a CSV cleaner for messy exports
• Check AI-written code with tests and a review checklist
• Share it without leaking passwords or data
