Ericka Spradley has turned her decades of coaching and volumes of proven tools into ErickaGPT - offering career advancement on your terms - in the absence of burnout.
Her app provides affordable career guidance for everyday challenges as well as support with customized plans for EQ Responses, Career Capacity, 30-Day Promotion Strategy and so much more.
Here’s my interview about how she became a Vibe-Coding-Woman.
When did the light bulb first go off - "I can build an app to make my wisdom available to more women?"
The light bulb went off the day I realized I had access to a platform for agent development. The exact same day; no guessing, no hesitation, and not one limited belief that said, “You’re not a developer or this is too technical.” Because I have well over a decade of content, experience, and expertise, I wanted to make sure women in the workplace could access guidance, support, and solutions that truly consider what’s it like to walk in their shoes in our current professional climate from a coach who has been where they are.
Did you decide to build it yourself? How did you proceed from there?
I did, actually. I researched the platform, experimented with the functionality and used AI to finalize the creation of ErickaGPT. Because technology advances at a rate that most of us can’t keep up with, my agent has evolved and will continue to do so.
Did you use Chat, Claude or...?
I started out using Chat to power the agent and am currently using Claude
What did you learn along the way that would be useful for other women who want to vibe code their own app(s)?
One thing I learned along the way is to test often.
The AI agent you create today may not function the same way tomorrow.
For example, if the version of ChatGPT that’s powering your AI agent today changes in 6 weeks, the output you tested when you launched, will look very different in the future.
Because I want the women who use ErickaGPT to have relevant support in a timely fashion, I prompt her on a very regular basis. The only way to confirm ErickaGPT will function as I intend is to test often, then make the necessary adjustments.
Here’s a sampling of the proprietary knowledge Ericka used as the basis of her app.
Here’s an example of a strategy if your role has expanded and responsibilities have increased at work.

If you’re following all the advice and it still feels like something’s in the way, I’m telling you, you are not the problem. You are working inside a system that’s withholding something from you. And now AI is making it permanent.
