Vibe coding and AI agents classes in the City of Monash

What do vibe coding and AI agents classes teach City of Monash learners?

How to build with an AI and then prove its answers right, step by step, before anyone relies on them. The City of Monash suits careful builders: the 2021 Census counted 190,397 residents, and 66,197 adults, 41.2%, had a university degree, well above the 29.2% statewide.

An agent asked about the City of Monash's eight train stations will answer every question confidently. Some answers will be right, some will come from last year's file, and some will be rounded so far that they stop being true. The fix is not a better agent but a second step that throws the agent's numbers away and works each one out again from the source.

Facts last verified 10 October 2026. Teaching is online; no City of Monash branch is claimed.

The City of Monash in the Census

A large, well-educated council area

Figures for the City of Monash local government area (ABS code LGA24970) from the 2021 Census QuickStats, set beside Victoria. Suburbs within it, such as Glen Waverley and Clayton, have pages of their own.

Area

The bureau measures the council area at 81.48 square kilometres in Melbourne's south-east.

Teenagers

The Census counted 11,078 residents aged 15 to 19, 5.8% of the population, a touch above the Victorian 5.6%.

Lockdown caveat

Census day fell in the August 2021 lockdown, when 29,062 employed residents, 31.6%, worked from home.

QuickStats adjusts small cells for privacy, which means the parts of a table may not reach its total. We quote figures as published and do not add council parts together.

Signature project

An agent, 26 questions and a verifier

We placed every metropolitan station on the council boundary map and found eight inside. We then wrote 26 questions about them and a deliberately sloppy test agent with five planted habits. A verifier recalculated each answer from the FY24-25 station file.

Find a station by name1111

Busiest

The agent named the first station in alphabetical order, Clayton. Recomputed from the file, the busiest is Oakleigh with 1,624,200 entries.

Rounding

Rounded to the nearest 100,000, Hughesdale became 600,000 against a true 555,350, 8.0% out. Syndal's 700,000 was only 0.3% out.

The name trap

Asked about "Waverley station", the agent matched part of a name and answered for Glen Waverley. No station is called just Waverley.

The strict check beat the lenient one

Allowing 5% of slack sounds reasonable, but it let 10 of the 18 wrong answers through, including a growth figure built on the wrong year. Exact comparison against the source caught all 18. There is a limit, though: for four stations the agent's wrong growth formula still rounded to the right one-decimal answer, so a verifier that checks answers cannot catch a broken method. Test the method separately.

The agent, its habits, the 26 questions and the verifier are ours, so the counts describe our test, not any commercial assistant. Station figures are the department's published estimates.

The agent behind it

Generate, then recompute

A verifier is a second step in an agent's loop. It ignores how the first answer was produced and recalculates it from the source.

The five planted habits and how a verifier sees them
HabitEffectCaught by recomputation?
Reads the previous year's fileEntries off by up to 12.5%Yes
Takes the first row instead of sortingWrong busiest stationYes
Divides growth by the new yearSmall errors, sometimes none after roundingOnly when the rounded answer changes
Rounds to the nearest 100,000Errors from 0.3% to 8.0%Yes, with an exact check
Matches part of a nameAnswers about the wrong stationYes

In code the verifier is short: for each claim in the answer, look up the same figure in the file, compare, and reject the answer if anything differs. The hard part is deciding what counts as different, which is why we tested both exact and 5% rules.

Younger learners

Check a partner's sums with a calculator and mark which ones were close but wrong.

Secondary students

Write the sloppy agent and the verifier in Python, then add a sixth habit and see if it is caught.

Adults

Add a recompute step to any report an assistant drafts from a spreadsheet before it is sent.

If agents keep improving, why should a City of Monash learner build a verifier?

Because a better agent makes fewer mistakes, not none, and the remaining ones look exactly like right answers.

Our test agent never refused a question and never hedged. Its rounded figures were plausible, its wrong-year entries were real numbers from a real file, and its name match found a real station. Reading the answers, nothing looked off.

A learner who has written a verifier knows the uncomfortable result: the lenient check felt sensible and missed most of the errors. That learner will ask what checks an agent's work before trusting it, which is the question every team using agents needs someone to ask.

The City of Monash learner who builds the checker is the one whose agents can be relied on. The longer argument is in why teenagers should still learn to code in 2026.

FAQ

City of Monash vibe coding and AI agents questions

Questions City of Monash parents and adult learners raise most.

How many people live in the City of Monash?

The 2021 Census QuickStats for the City of Monash record 190,397 residents in 50,528 families, with a median age of 38.

What is a verifier in an AI agent?

A step that takes the agent's answer and checks it independently, usually by recomputing each figure from the source, before the answer is accepted.

Why not let the agent check its own work?

Because it tends to repeat the same mistake. A verifier that ignores the agent's method and recalculates from the data catches errors the agent cannot see.

What did the City of Monash verifier project find?

Our test agent got 18 of 26 station questions wrong. An exact verifier flagged all 18; one allowing 5% slack flagged only 8.

What is vibe coding?

Building software by describing it to an AI in plain words, then testing and fixing what it writes. We spend most lesson time on the testing.

Is Microsoft Copilot Studio taught in groups?

No. Our groups build agents in Python; Copilot Studio is reserved for one-to-one teaching.

Is there a centre in the City of Monash?

No. We teach only live online, have no Australian premises, and the phone number shown here is an Indian number.

What do classes cost for City of Monash learners?

The first lesson is free. Group classes then cost USD 100 a month for two live lessons a week, about eight a month, with fifteen to twenty learners, or USD 150 a month one to one. Course, format and time are agreed before payment.

How many learners per group?

Fifteen to twenty, grouped by level, pace and goals; private lessons are available if no group time fits.

Do you teach adults to build agents?

Yes. Adults learn in adult groups or one to one, often with a reporting job in mind that they want an agent to do accurately.
