AI Prototyping for Non-Engineers: Demo + Hackathon

In this session, you’ll become an AI-Enhanced Product Creator. We'll start with how Product Creators have moved beyond basic prompting into higher-leverage activities like tooling, agents and prototyping. Then, we'll go deep into AI prototyping with a hands-on AI Hackathon.

Attendees will learn how non-engineers can quickly turn ideas into interactive experiences with an intro to vibe coding, a live demo and then a hands-on hackathon. Each attendee will pick an idea (or bring their own), craft a strong prompt, “code” an interactive prototype (optionally wiring in real APIs), and share prototypes and learnings with the group.

Key Topics:

• The AI-Enhanced Product Creator. Learn the four personas of AI Product Creators.
• AI Techniques for Product Creators. Progress from prompting to higher level AI activities such as tooling, agents, prototyping and coding.
• Intro to AI Prototyping/Vibe Coding. Learn how non-engineers with vibe coding tools can quickly manifest ideas into interactive experiences and test with customers faster. Includes a live demo creating a vibe-coded app.
• AI Hackathon: Creating Prototypes with Vibe Prototyping Tools. Bring an idea or pick an idea, develop a prompt, and “code” an interactive prototype. Add real APIs for more realistic interactivity. Cross-pollinate progress by sharing prototypes with the group. All in one session.

*Note: We will provide credits for a popular vibe coding platform you can use during the session.
