For the past few years, AI tools have become incredibly powerful. With one prompt, you can get code, explanations, or entire features written for you.
But something was missing for me.
I didn’t want an assistant that just spits out answers.
I wanted a mentor — something that helps me learn, improve, plan, and build real projects with structure and guidance.
That’s why I built PIYE → https://piye.dev
A personal AI mentor designed for developers at every level.
⭐ Why PIYE Exists
I’m a developer. And like many, I struggled with:
• Knowing what to build next
• Getting stuck on architecture decisions
• Learning best practices through real code, not textbooks
• Keeping track of progress and understanding how everything fits together
• Avoiding the “AI black box” feeling where answers appear… but you don’t grow
Most AI tools accelerate you --
PIYE teaches you.
Instead of giving shortcuts, PIYE gives clarity, structure, and real project guidance.
What PIYE Does
- PIYE Mentor — Your Personal Senior Engineer
This is the heart of PIYE.
You can ask it:
• How do I design this feature?
• Why does this code behave this way?
• Is this architecture good?
• What’s the next step in my project?
It doesn’t reply with generic answers.
It teaches, explains, and gives perspective — like a real senior engineer would.
- Feature Planning
Describe the feature you want to build, and PIYE breaks it down into:
• Architecture
• Steps
• Edge cases
• Code examples
• Best practices
• Common mistakes
Instead of “here’s the code,” you get real engineering guidance.
- Project Journey
The most unique part of PIYE.
Every project has:
• A roadmap
• Steps
• Decisions
• Microtasks
• Progress tracking
• Sessions with your AI mentor
• Notes, reflections, follow-ups
PIYE remembers everything.
It stays with you throughout the project — building, learning, and iterating with you.
Developers finally get a structured, interactive learning-by-building experience.
- PIYE Studio — Learn Prompting the Right Way
Instead of guessing prompts or copying Twitter threads, PIYE Studio teaches you how to:
• Write effective prompts
• Think like an engineer using AI
• Iterate your ideas
• Practice and improve
This is extremely important today — prompt skills matter more than ever.
Who PIYE Is For
• Beginners who want a safe place to learn
• Junior developers who need guidance like a mentor
• Mid-level developers who want structure and speed
• Seniors who want a thinking partner, not a code generator
• Self-taught developers building their own projects
• Anyone learning AI + programming together
Why Not Just Ask ChatGPT?
Great question — and a simple answer:
PIYE isn’t built to replace AI tools.
It’s built to complement them.
PIYE focuses on:
• Project structure
• Real-life engineering thinking
• Learning through building
• Continuous progress
• Saved sessions and decisions
• Your personal growth as a developer
It’s not just “here is the code.”
It’s “here is how you think like a developer.”
🟡 What’s Next for PIYE?
This is only the beginning.
I’m actively improving:
• The Journey system
• Mentor intelligence
• Real-time collaboration features
• Community knowledge
• Better roadmap generation
• More “learning by doing” tools
PIYE will continue growing with the community.
🙏 Why I’m Sharing This
I’ve never shared my work publicly before.
But building PIYE has been one of the most meaningful projects of my life.
If you want to try it, here it is:
If you have feedback, ideas, or thoughts — I’d love to hear them.
