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 job is at risk.
Look, I'm a developer myself. I'm against glorifying all the AI hype and vibe coding.
Most developers think their job is replaced by an autonomous agent - it won't. Your job is going to be replaced by a developer who can get agents to outputting senior-level code at 5-10x the pace.
Google, Meta, Snap and more large companies are already sticking to controlled workflows for their agents and achieve exactly that. And in case your company is a bit slow it doesn't make this less urgent.
Since in fact those companies who do NOT migrate to this new form of development will be replaced by those companies who do.
Companies are replaced just like developers are. Those companies who adapt will remain - but they can't benefit from developers who only have coding skills.
And that's why I'm looking for a small, exclusive group of Android and KMP developers who are aware of this and want to get into AI workflows ASAP.
This is how the AI-First App developer mentoring helps you get there
Master AI-Assisted App Development with an individual learning plan
- We will make sure you get the right AI-skills before diving into practice.
- Access to more than 200h of premium video content about app development and AI-driven development
- Practical homework assignments & reviews from your mentors.
Build Complex Production Software With Agents in a Controlled Environment
- Throughout the mentoring, you'll build real production apps with 100k+ LOC having agents write 95% of your code.
- Get reviews for your work - on how you work with the agents, on how you make technical decisions and on difficult parts of the code.
- You'll learn to setup industry workflows with proper context engineering, quality gates, verification loops, parallelization.
Learn to Work with Large Legacy Codebases with the Right AI Workflows
- If you're working on a large existing codebase, we'll help you integrate the right agentic workflows there even without proper documentation.
- Get clear workflows for all sorts of important migrations such as Android to KMP or migrating a library.
- Your mentors will always look over your shoulder and spot any mistake the moment it happens.
Private 1:1 Chat
- Get a private 1:1 group chat with Philipp Lackner and his team of senior developers to ask any of your technical questions the moment they come up.
- Join a community of like-minded mobile developers to exchange and connect with.
- Save months of trial & error and get fast answers to your questions.
Have Technical Discussions with Philipp Lackner in Regular Zoom Sessions
- Weekly Zoom calls for Q&A
- Get access to all recordings
- Learn from other developer's experiences

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.
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-Assisted App Development
You'll go from simple to very advanced workflows, proper SDD, context engineering strategies, reviewing AI generated code efficiently & more.
System Design
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.
Parallel & Multi-Agent Workflows
You'll learn when and how you can work with multiple agents at the same time to 5x your coding output.
AI-First In existing codebases
Learn to properly work with agents in even large enterprise codebases that have not been documented for agentic use yet.
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.
For successful completion, you’ll receive a certificate proving this knowledge. The certificate can be verified.
