Desphixs WorkSim

Get job-ready by coding real features in real projects — right inside VS Code.

Tutorials teach syntax. WorkSim teaches YOU how to build.

Most people get stuck in "tutorial hell"—watching videos but never building anything real. WorkSim fixes that. We give you a real dev job environment inside VS Code.

Instead of watching, you will:

• Clone actual codebases (like a Junior Dev would).
• Pick up tickets to fix bugs or build new features.
• Get instant feedback from our AI Senior Dev.

No videos. No hand-holding. just real work.
Stop practicing "Hello World". Start building a portfolio that gets you hired. 💼

🚀 How It Works

It's simple. We simulate a real tech company workflow:

1. You join a project (e.g., an E-commerce app or a SaaS platform).
2. You get a ticket with a specific task (e.g., "Fix the login bug" or "Add a dark mode toggle").
3. You write the code in your own editor.
4. You click Verify and our AI reviews your work instantly—telling you if it works, or how to fix it.

It's the closest thing to a real internship you can get without an interview.

✨ Features

🔍 AI-Powered Verification

Submit your code and receive instant AI feedback including:

• Pass/Fail status with detailed explanations
• Score out of 10

• Improvement tips for next time

💬 AI Helper Chat

Stuck? Chat with an AI assistant that understands your current ticket and can guide you without giving away the answer, so you can actually learn.
