From Startup Idea to MVP: Build Real Apps with AI Coding + No-Code (Workshop)

​AI coding tools like Lovable and Cursor make it easier than ever to generate working prototypes from a single prompt — but turning those prototypes into real, functional apps still takes time, logic, and structure.

​This workshop explores a new way for non-technical founders: combining the speed of vibe coding with the clarity and control of no-code logic. You’ll see how to connect a front-end built with tools like Lovable or Cursor to a visual backend where your data and logic actually live — no debugging through lines of code required.

​We’ll walk through:

• ​The typical gap between a prototype and a product

• ​How to add backend logic, workflows, and data without coding

• ​A live demo showing how AI-powered apps can become launch-ready in hours, not weeks

​Who it’s for:

​Non-technical startup founders, indie makers, and anyone exploring AI tools to build a real online presence — beyond just a demo or prototype.
