Brief about the talk
In this session, Mazen will break down the AI tools landscape — how tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, Lovable, Replit, Codex, and Claude Code differ, and how to combine them into a workflow that helps you ship faster with the lowest reasonable cost. We’ll cover vibe coding vs. vibe engineering, the Cursor features you need to stay up-to-date, practical prompt workflows, and how to turn “cool AI” into repeatable shipping habits. Expect real examples, completed projects, and a demo-style walkthrough.
