Build Your Product with AI: 4-Hour Intensive Workshop (in partnership with Startup Barreiro)
Turn your idea into a working product in just 4 hours. No coding experience needed.
Ready to stop talking about your app idea and start building it? This hands-on intensive takes you from concept to working prototype using cutting-edge AI tools.
First edition in Margem Sul, hosted at Startup Barreiro. If you are in Barreiro, Seixal, Almada, Montijo or anywhere on this side of the river, this one is for you.
Lisbon folks: 20 minutes on the ferry from Terreiro do Paço.
What makes this different
This is not a demo where you watch me build something. YOU build your own product with your team, guided step by step by someone who has helped Fortune 100 companies launch and scale and taught 20,000+ entrepreneurs online.
How the 4 hours work
Phase 1, Foundation : software architecture for non-tech entrepreneurs, simplified.
We'll vote a business idea together, turn into a Product Requirements Document (PRD) and build it live, while digging into the tools you'll use in the workshop. Vibe Coding it all the way, with an eye on solid architecture.
Phase 2, Build Time (2.5 hours): form small teams (or work alone) around complementary ideas and build hands-on with AI tools, with direct support from me and real-time problem solving as you go.Phase 3, Showcase (30 minutes): each team / individual presents their working product, gets feedback and next steps, and we celebrate what you have built.
