Vibecoding 101: Design Your First AI System (No Code, Lego Style)

​AI is not magic. It’s Lego.

​You have a table full of powerful pieces – ChatGPT, tools, automations, agents – but if you don’t know what you’re building, you just end up… clicking around.

​This 2-hour live vibecoding workshop is for non-technical founders and career-switchers who want to think like AI builders without writing code.

​Using a simple Lego metaphor, we’ll break AI down into clear building blocks and help you design one real, useful AI workflow for your own startup or career.

​You’ll leave with:

• ​A clear use-case (no more “I don’t know what to build”)

• ​A visual blueprint of your AI flow

• ​A working first version built live during the session

• ​A clear “this is what AI does for our startup” sentence you can use in investor calls and decks

​No prior technical background needed. If you can play with Lego, you can do this.

​What we’ll cover

• ​AI as Lego pieces

  • ​Inputs, brains, and actions: the three basic “bricks” of any AI system

  • ​Why prompts are just one brick, not the whole castle

• ​Designing your set

  • ​How to pick ONE high-leverage use-case for your startup or next role

  • ​Turning a vague idea (“I want an assistant”) into a clear flow (“it does A → B → C”)

• ​Building live (vibecoding session)

  • ​Step-by-step: define input, instructions, and output

  • ​You’ll build your own mini-system using guided templates

  • ​Live examples: investor research assistant, lead qualification helper, content repurposer, etc.

• ​Next steps

  • ​How to improve your build over time

  • ​How to talk about what you’ve built in a way that sounds real, not buzzwordy

​This workshop is for you if…

• ​You’re a non-technical founder and you want to use AI seriously, not just for random prompts

• ​You’re in a career transition and want to show you can think in systems, not just “I used ChatGPT a bit”

• ​You’re tired of AI convos and want a simple way to actually build with it

​Not for you if you want deep coding, math, or model architecture. This is about thinking and building at the product / workflow level.

​Format

• ​Length: 2 hours

• ​Style: Highly interactive, workshop-style, cameras-on
