Build Your First Live Website with AI
A three-hour hands-on workshop where you'll build and ship your first live website with AI. No prior coding experience required.
This is for the people who've always wanted to just try it. Product managers, designers, marketers, founders, operators, or anyone who's had an idea for a small tool, landing page, or playful experiment and didn't know where to start. By the end of the session, you'll have a live website online and a workflow you can use over and over again on your own.
We'll use Claude Code, Codex and VS Code to vibe code a simple site, push it to GitHub, and deploy it live with Vercel.
