Where This Came From
This guide came out of necessity. Visual Hive was building AI-powered event technology and needed a reliable way to ship production-quality software with a small team. The obvious approach — just use AI to write code — produced expensive garbage until we built the structure that this guide describes.
What worked got documented. What failed got documented too. Over several projects, the patterns solidified into a methodology that produced consistent results.
Richard Osborne, CTO at Visual Hive, built the initial methodology and worked with The Low Code Foundation to document it properly and share it openly.
Visual Hive
Visual Hive is the Event Intelligence Company. We research the B2B events industry and build AI products that turn event data into personalised experiences and measurable results.
Our product, Erleah, is an AI-powered attendee engagement platform. We use this methodology internally — Erleah and the VH Conference Toolkit were both built with these practices.

The Low Code Foundation
The Low Code Foundation is a community for developers, founders, and builders who use low-code and AI tools to ship products. The methodology in this guide was shared through the Foundation's community and refined with input from members building real projects.
The Foundation hosts discussions, resources, and project templates for AI-assisted development at github.com/The-Low-Code-Foundation.
The Guide's Status
This is a living document. The methodology continues to evolve as we build more projects and learn from each one. Significant updates will be reflected in the "Last Updated" dates on each page.
Corrections, suggestions, and additions are welcome — open an issue or PR on the GitHub repository.
