Working with charmthirteen
What does charmthirteen do?
charmthirteen is AI advisory and systems design for founders. That means 1:1 consulting, founder website and agent builds, and workshops that teach the AI Collaboration Pyramid framework directly, not just the tools. The current workshop series is Claude Loves Lovable.
Who is this for?
Founders and vibe coders who are already building with AI and want a second set of eyes that isn't just cheering them on. Fits best when you have a real project in motion, not just an idea you're still turning over.
How much does it cost?
Pricing varies by engagement type. Book a Vibe Check call to talk through fit and get current rates.
How does an engagement start?
A short call to check fit, followed by scoping the specific deliverable, whether that's a consulting block, a build, or a workshop. No engagement starts without that fit conversation first.
Do you work with early-stage founders or only established teams?
Both. The scope changes with the stage, so early-stage work tends to be sharper and faster, established teams tend to need more integration with what already exists.
VibeCheck.exe
What is VibeCheck.exe?
An AI thinking partner that pressure-tests your idea before you build it. You describe the idea, VibeCheck pushes back with the questions that matter, and it tells you to sharpen the idea, redirect it, or drop it. See the full write-up on the blog.
How is VibeCheck different from ChatGPT?
A general-purpose assistant tends to agree with you by default. VibeCheck is built to push back with grounded, honest feedback, checking what already exists in the market before it supports an idea.
Is VibeCheck available yet?
Not yet. It's in preview, and the phone version is in private testing, and a web version is coming under charmthirteen.
What is the AI Collaboration Pyramid?
A three-level framework for working with AI, built on ask with curiosity, explore with intention, and refine with judgment. VibeCheck is built directly on this framework.
