Here's what this means for you. You can leverage agentic AI tools to build software prototypes that reflect your unique business processes and requirements. You'll also learn these concepts: how the memory bank system grants AI models persistence, why structured documentation prevents errors in smaller models, and how generative AI shifts the power dynamic to let software adapt to your workflow.

This is part four of the vibe coding guide, or at least how I do it. Um, in the in part one, we talked about the Mise on Plus, the tools you would need, asking good questions. Uh part two, we looked at the requirements gathering process. Part three, we talked about the work the work plan process and building out the work plan, making sure it's super detailed. This is part four where we're actually gonna put the code into action. So, what we should have, we should have our coding environment. We should have our product requirements document. We should have our work plan document. Now the last thing that we're gonna do in here that we should we need to have in place are the rules. We need to have the rules for how this code how the coding environment itself should work. And there is I'm using a tool called Klein. Klein is a semi-autonomous coding tool. Uh it's a it's free, it's uh Visual Studio Code. And you can see from the Mison Plus, we had the um we had LM Studio set up as our uh model. Let me just make sure that we've we're on the correct one. Uh because LM Studio, yes, I'm on Quen 3. I need to create the Klein rules file. And this uses a process from Klein itself from Kleinbot called Memory Bank. Uh we're gonna call this Klein Rules, and I'm gonna move it up one level, and I need to change the name to add a dot up front, like so. This now tells Kline how to behave, and it it should um run through its process. And so let's talk about what's in the Klein rules. Uh, this is called memory bank. And what memory bank allows the tool to have is it allows it to have memory. This one is modified for me. So it says there's a PRD, which is our product requirements document, there's a work plan, there's a polish folder, and then the memory systems that the tool will use to record its progress as it's coding. Because if we're doing this right, um AI tools, generative AI models have no memory. I've called them for the longest time, the world's smartest, most forgetful interns. They have no memory. But in an agentic system like this, we can give them a memory. We just have to fake it by saying we're gonna read and write your progress as you're working to these files that you've that we've we've uh put in place. So clients got its rules, and then we've got our documents there. And this again is why it was so important to have the uh uh the process of building out the PRD of the work plan. If we didn't have that, LM Studio and the Quinn3 model is a good model, but it's not as as smart as a big state of the art foundation model. And so without those pre existing documents, it will make a lot of mistakes. It will make code that just completely does not run. It will make it basically garbage. With that, all it's got to do is follow the instructions in the very detailed work plan. So uh we're gonna say implement the work plan in workplan.md exactly. Now it should immediately, and we can see it is talking to LM Studio locally. Uh, so it is running on my local AI, and it's gonna have a conversation with it, it. It's gonna pass data to it, and then it's gonna start going back and forth and actually building the code following the work plan. This will take some time. Says look at the environment details, open the docs. So you can see it's beginning to uh do its processing. And thus, our vibe coding project has come to an end. We can see that it has gone through and created all of the pieces. So we're done, right? No. No, we're not done. Um we have essentially done the first draft, just the very first draft of the code. But it exists. It exists, and now it can be cleaned up and edited and processed and debugged and all that stuff, but it now exists where it didn't exist before. So with no actual coding on my own part, but the idea, the requirements, the work plan, and AI to basically do the typing. We've created something that didn't exist before. And this is the power of generative AI. This is the power of these tools to bring to life things that we didn't have before, or in the case of um Data Diarist and its predecessor, Data Slayer, we had it and we lost it. It stopped existing. So we can now revive it, resurrect it, and bring it into the world once more, but in our way of doing it, our specific way. And this, I think, is one of the critical parts about this style of generative AI and these kinds of projects. It's not just making a copycat, it's making it with our point of view, the way that we think the world should work. That you and I have our particular point of view about how analytics works, how data layers work, how you do anything, how you're how you write blog posts. You have a point of view. The software that you use today was not built with your point of view. The software that you use today, in a lot of ways, asks you to conform to its way of view. Have you ever had that experience, particularly working in stuff like CRM or marketing automation, where it forces you to adapt your business to it instead of the other way around? This is what generative AI changes. Generative AI says, no, you do it your way, and you make the software adapt to your business. And that's what's so powerful about this. So in the next part, in the final part, we're going to do the debugging process because, oh boy, are there going to be a lot of bugs. I guarantee this software is not usable as is. So we're going to go through the debugging and QA process. So stay tuned for that. Thanks for tuning in. Talk to you on the next one. If you enjoyed this video, please hit the like button.
