Vibecode Like an Information Architect
A little less “vibes,” please. What we really need is more intention, judgment, and IA craft.
AI can now generate code, interfaces, and even entire apps in minutes. The barrier to building software has never been lower.
But that doesn’t mean software suddenly makes sense.
Because the most human part of building great products was never writing code (ouch, sorry dev-friends). It’s defining the system itself — the objects, relationships, role permissions, and taxonomies that make complex software understandable to humans.
In other words: wrangling ambiguous, contextual complexity.
In this hands-on workshop, we’ll explore a new way of building software with AI — one that goes beyond vibecoding and into intentional, architectural coding.
You’ll learn how to generate real applications while applying the core information architecture skills that make systems coherent: conceptual modeling, object thinking, and human-centered structure.
Along the way, you’ll learn the ORCA Process from Object-Oriented UX (OOUX) — a framework for revealing the “world model” of your product. Instead of prompting AI with vibes and hoping for the best, you’ll prompt it with a clear architectural understanding of the system you want to build.
By the end of the workshop, you’ll:
- Prompt AI to generate functional applications
- Model complex domains using object-oriented thinking
- Turn messy requirements into systems AI can build from
- Discover why IA skills are a superpower in the age of AI-assisted development
Most of our time will be spent doing what IAs do best: thinking. We’ll work with sticky notes and collaborative modeling to sharpen the structure of the system before bringing it to life with AI in the final hour.
No prior experience with OOUX or vibecoding required.
And the best part? Everything you learn here applies to any complex product or service — whether you’re building with AI or not.
Workshop bonus: Everyone who registers will also receive the OOUX Discovery Bundle — the first five modules of the acclaimed OOUX Masterclass (a $333 value).
This series of high-quality video lessons will deepen the concepts from the workshop and help you confidently wield the ORCA Process on all of your projects.
