Vibe coding for HR: build your own working tools with an AI agent A tool in one evening — no IT queue.
Five lessons: you describe the task in plain words, the AI agent writes the code, you check the result and share the tool with your team. A hiring cost calculator, a batch of offer letters from one spreadsheet, resume screening with scores, a dashboard from your HR system export and an onboarding tracker behind a link — all built live in Claude Code and Codex.

Stop waiting for IT. Describe the task — and build it yourself.
A course for HR people who don’t write code and don’t plan to learn programming. You stay the client: you say what you need, check the result and decide. The AI agent writes the code — it creates the file, runs it and fixes it until it works.
- 01HR in a company. HR generalist, HRBP or HR lead in a company of 50–1,000 people
- 02Not a programmer. And not planning to become one — you want results, not a new profession
- 03You have tasks that wait months in the IT queue: calculators, documents, reports, checklists
- Use ChatGPT or Claude in a chat
- Work in Excel and Google Sheets
- Export data from your HR system
- Brief an AI agent so that it builds a working program
- Turn exports and documents into a finished result in minutes
- Test a tool on sample numbers and fix it in plain words
- Share a tool with your team through a link
Every small HR tool waits months for IT, and code from a chat has nowhere obvious to go.
- To learn programming: syntax, languages, how code works
- API integration with your HR system or ATS
- A public website: hosting, domains, servers
Say it. Check it. Decide — the agent does the rest.
The course is built around tools: every lesson delivers one or two real HR tools, built step by step. Lesson one installs the agent on your computer and gets you a first result in an evening, the next three cover documents, hiring and data, and the last one rolls a tool out to the whole company. Each lesson is useful on its own: a recruiter can watch only lesson three and sort a folder of resumes tomorrow.
- Lesson 1
Your first tool in an evening
Setup without a terminal, a folder for HR tools, a brief template for the agent — and your first working calculator.
Hiring calculator · Brief template - Lessons 2–4
Documents, hiring and data
A batch of offers from one spreadsheet, a folder of resumes scored in a table, every interviewer’s ratings in one place, a dashboard from an export and salary ranges.
Document generator · Resume screening · Scorecard · Dashboard · Ranges - Lesson 5
A tool for the whole team
An onboarding tracker on a Google Sheet: the new hire and the manager open their own checklist through a link.

What does one hire cost at your company?
This is a cut-down version of the lesson-one calculator — the one you’ll build with the agent in an evening. It opens with the course example: 5 hires in a quarter. Type in your own numbers and the total updates instantly. Try to break it, too: zero hires or a negative amount is the first thing we test in the lesson.
- All costs in the period$27,000
Benchmark — SHRM, 2025: $5,475 per non-executive hire, $35,879 per executive hire.
- Empty seatwhat each day of an open vacancy costs

Five lessons — seven tools in your folder.

An author who builds his own tools with AI agents.
Mike has spent 20 years in HR and founded Pritula Academy. He builds tools for the courses and for running the academy with Claude and Codex exactly the way you will in this course: he describes the task in detail, checks the result and asks for fixes.
- Codex · academy website
The academy website has 550 course pages in different languages, and part of the information on them had to change — several days of tedious work by hand. Mike wrote a detailed brief for Codex, the agent did the job in about a day, and Mike only kept an eye on it.
- Claude · candidate search
Mike gave Claude examples of search strings from his own lessons and asked for a tool. The result was a browser page that writes candidate search strings on its own — not perfect, but working, and built very fast.
- Writing the brief
Mike built a game for the academy with Claude twice. A general request produced a primitive text game; a detailed description of the mechanics produced something on a different level. That’s why the course includes an agent brief template.
- His own examples
To have Claude prepare tools for academy courses, Mike uploaded up to 200 examples of tools he likes. The agent pulled ideas from them — and new tools are now built from those ideas.

You’ll build your next HR tool yourself.
Five lessons, seven tools in your own folder and an agent brief template — so your next calculator, report or checklist doesn’t wait in the IT queue.
When do I get access?
Right after payment. The course is recorded, and access lasts one year.
How much time does the course take?
Five lessons of 45 minutes. After each one there’s an assignment: build the same tool for your company. It takes 60–90 minutes.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The AI agent writes the code; you describe the task in plain words, check the result and ask for fixes. It’s enough to be comfortable with ChatGPT or Claude in a chat and with Excel.
Which subscription will I need?
One is enough. Claude Code comes with paid Claude plans — from Pro at $20 a month; it isn’t on the free plan. Codex works in the ChatGPT app: with Plus at $20 a month, or on the free plan with limits. Google Sheets and Apps Script are free.
Claude Code or Codex — which should I choose?
Whichever your company already pays for. All demos run in Claude Code, and where Codex works differently there’s a note on screen. The document generator and the salary range calculator are built entirely in Codex.
Do I need the terminal?
No. Claude Code works in the Code tab of the Claude app, and Codex works in the ChatGPT app. Terminal commands are shown separately for anyone who prefers them.
Can I give the agent real employee data?
The lessons use only made-up test data, with no real people on screen. Data rules are covered right inside the lessons: the agent brief template has a “what not to do” section — for example, don’t send data to the internet.
How does a tool reach my colleagues?
A personal tool is a file: it opens with a double-click, and you can send it to a colleague or put it in a shared folder. Interviewers open the scorecard through a link. The onboarding tracker runs on a Google Sheet — the new hire and the manager open it through a link.
Who reviews the homework?
Mike Pritula reviews assignments personally.
What do I get after the course?
Seven HR tools built for your company, an agent brief template and a Pritula Academy diploma on Accredible — with your own link to add to LinkedIn.
Is the course included in the academy subscription?
Yes. The $1,000 per year subscription includes this course and 160+ other courses of the academy.
Can I train my whole team?
Yes. The team plan is $2,500 a year for up to 10 people, with access to 160+ academy courses.
What isn’t in the course?
Learning to program; comparing and choosing AI models, setting up APIs and keys; public website hosting, domains and servers; API integrations with HR systems and ATS — we work with exports; Telegram bots, eNPS surveys and org charts; legal review of automated candidate screening — the course only covers the rule “a human makes the decision”.
