How To Use AI To Build Your Prototype
Go from idea to prototype without a full technical team.
Designed for founders and builders at the earliest stages, you’ll learn how to use AI tools to move from concept to prototype faster, how they help to reduce development costs, and how it can support smarter product decisions from day one.
Through a mix of guided exercises, live building, and collaborative problem-solving, you’ll experience how AI can act as your co-founder across coding, design, and MVP development. Come with an idea or join a team and leave with the skills to turn an idea into a working prototype.
This workshop is offered by the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus Ecosystem and UTEST, in partnership with Codalio.
