Questions
Vibe coding in the Philippines, in plain words
The questions we answer most in the Discord, answered here the same way.
- What is Vibe Coders PH?
- Vibe Coders PH is a Filipino community for vibe coding: building software and creative work with AI tools and modern coding agents. Members make AI tools, films, and Filipino stories, and share what they learn through projects, guides, cohorts, and events.
- Is Vibe Coders PH free?
- The Discord community, the blog, and the guides are free. The AI Builder Cohort is the paid, mentor-led program: ₱24,999 for Regular and ₱39,999 for Premium Mentored, currently taking an early-access waitlist.
- Do I need coding experience to join?
- No. Start with the free 7-day challenge or the basics page, then follow the beginner guides on the blog. The learning tracks cover web development, AI engineering, and data analytics, and the Web Development track starts from the fundamentals.
- Do I have to be in Metro Manila?
- No. The community is remote-first and members join from across the Philippines on Discord. In-person events happen in Metro Manila when we meet, such as GenAI to Z at UP Diliman in Quezon City.
- What do members actually build?
- Websites and portfolios, AI agents and automations, n8n workflows, and AI films and reels. The projects page collects screenshots and demo videos of what the community has shipped.
- How do I start?
- Join the Discord, try the free 7-day challenge, and read the guides. If you want live mentors and a group shipping alongside you, join the AI Builder Cohort waitlist.
