Vibe Coding with AI
You know your business. Now learn to build for it. Turn one focused idea into a first working app—with AI, practical guidance, and no coding background required.

Our workshops have welcomed people from
From AI user to app builder
A real idea.
A working first version.
This is a hands-on day for English-speaking business owners, founders and leaders in Thailand who use AI for productivity and want to start creating their own tools.
Choose a focused idea: a quotation helper, a customer enquiry tracker, a simple dashboard, or a small service prototype. Learn the complete cycle: describe → scaffold → test → iterate → deploy.
You will work with tools such as Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, with guided setup and plenty of time to practise. Keep the scope small enough to build and test during the day.
What you work toward
Leave with more
than a slide deck.
A working app
An interface and a feature you can run, test and demonstrate.
A shareable URL
Publish your first version and get feedback from others.
A repeatable process
Prompts, practical judgement, and a way to keep improving.
We aim for a small, shareable prototype. A workshop app still needs appropriate testing, security and data handling before it supports real customers or business operations.
Friday 13 November / 09:00–17:00
Your day,
from idea to demo.
A practical sequence with coffee breaks, a lunch break, and a peer showcase. All times are local Bangkok time.
Welcome & orientation
Understand the day, meet the tools, and see how you can guide AI without a coding background.
Outcome: A clear view of the building process.
Find your one-feature app
Choose a business problem. Use AI to define the user, one useful feature, and what success should look like.
Outcome: Your one-page product brief.
Coffee break
Prototype the experience
Map a simple user journey, generate a UI from your brief, and refine it for usability and your brand.
Outcome: A working interface prototype.
GitHub & your local workspace
Learn repositories, commits and cloning in plain English. Open your project and run it on your laptop with guidance.
Outcome: Your prototype running locally.
Lunch break
Build & test one useful feature
Work with Claude Code or OpenAI Codex to add a form, a chart, or an API connection. Describe, build, test, debug and improve.
Outcome: One working feature you can demonstrate.
Coffee break
Iterate & troubleshoot
Ask AI to explain errors and suggest fixes. Practise solving common setup, dependency, environment-variable and port issues.
Outcome: A tested improvement and a repeatable debugging approach.
Publish your first version
Learn what deployment means, configure the required settings, and publish using a suitable hosting tool. Check your app from its live URL.
Outcome: A shareable first version to test.
Showcase & next steps
Give a 90-second demo, share feedback with peers, and decide what to improve next. Take away the prompts and building process.
Outcome: A demo, a clear next step, and the confidence to keep building.
Before you arrive
Bring your laptop.
