Vibe Engineering: Build Real-Time AI Agents (LiveKit + Supabase)
Emilio Taylor
Build & Deploy AI Agents
Most AI tutorials stop at prompts. This one ships systems.
Most AI tutorials stop at prompts and demos.
But real AI systems don’t fail at prompts — they fail in execution.
Without workflow state, tool boundaries, retries, and observability, AI features break quickly in production.
In this course, you’ll build and deploy a real-time AI agent using LiveKit and Supabase — not just a demo, but a working system.
You’ll learn how to design AI as workflows, connect tools safely, stream responses in real-time, and handle failure cases like a production engineer.
By the end, you’ll have a deployed agent and a repeatable blueprint you can use in your own product.
What you’ll learn
Build and deploy a real-time AI agent with production-ready patterns you can reuse in your own products.
Implement agent logic with inputs, tools, and execution flow
Connect your agent to real data using Supabase
Deploy a working agent you can demo and extend
Break AI behavior into clear workflow states (input → decision → action)
Model success, failure, and fallback paths
Apply a repeatable system design approach before coding
Stream responses in real-time for interactive experiences
Handle async events and user interactions
Design responsive, real-time AI systems
Implement structured outputs, retries, and guardrails
Add logging and observability for debugging
Control cost and prevent runaway behavior

Who this course is for
Full-stack engineers (React/JS) who want to build real AI agents—not just prompt demos—and ship systems that actually work in production.
Indie builders who want to quickly build and launch an AI-powered product or agent with a real backend and scalable architecture.
Product engineers and engineering leads looking to establish reliable patterns for building AI agents inside real applications.
Prerequisites
Comfortable building React apps locally
You’ll extend a real codebase, run locally, and ship features quickly without getting blocked on frontend basics.
Basic APIs + database knowledge (CRUD)
Your agent will read and write real data. You should be comfortable working with APIs and basic database patterns.
Willing to write JS/TS and debug issues
This is a code-first course. You’ll read logs, handle failures, and debug behavior to make your AI agent reliable.

Schedule
Live sessions
2-3 hrs / week
Live sessions are hands-on and build-focused. We design and implement your AI agent together, covering core patterns, real-time behavior, and production decisions with time for questions.

Projects
3-4 hrs / week
Project work is where you build your AI agent step-by-step. You’ll implement core logic, add real-time capabilities, and deploy a working system—not just a demo.
Async content
2-3 hrs / week
Async lessons cover setup, supporting patterns, and deeper dives so live sessions stay focused on building and shipping your agent.
