Code Coach
An AI study partner that coaches instead of just answering.
Product design, AI integration
Overview
A web app that helps people learning to code by coaching them through problems - asking guiding questions, hinting, and explaining - rather than handing over copy-paste answers.
The problem
Most AI coding help gives the answer, which feels great and teaches nothing. Learners need a partner that builds understanding and confidence.
Approach
- 01Designed a coaching conversation model with escalating hint levels.
- 02Engineered prompts that keep the model in 'coach' mode and grounded in the learner's code.
- 03Built a focused, distraction-free practice UI.
Outcomes
- A working prototype that demonstrates practical LLM product design.
- A reusable pattern for grounded, role-constrained AI assistants.
