Requirements in the Age of AI
AI can build software faster than ever.
But when turning an idea into an app takes minutes, a new question becomes much more important:
Do we actually know what we want to build?
Join us for an informal evening about requirements, intent and product thinking in the age of AI and vibe coding.
We’ll explore what changes when anyone can start building software with a prompt, and why understanding the problem, challenging the idea and expressing clear intent may matter more than ever.
What to expect
A relaxed evening with 2–3 short talks, a live demo and plenty of time to meet and talk with others who are experimenting with AI, product ideas and new ways of building software.
We’ll discuss questions such as:
What happens to requirements when AI can generate a working application in minutes?
Why does the first version often feel magical, while the next ten changes become harder?
How do we move from prompting features to expressing intent?
What should happen before we start vibe coding?
Could requirements become a conversation rather than a document?
Live: from idea to application
We’ll also take an idea through a live experiment.
Starting with the idea itself, we’ll use ReqTangle to question, clarify and structure the intent, then take that thinking into Base44 and see what happens when we start building.
No polished case study. No predetermined perfect outcome.
Both the tools and the way we work with them are evolving quickly, so we want to make this a real demonstration and use the result as part of the discussion.
Who is this for?
This evening is particularly for:
Business people, product people, domain experts, founders and curious non-developers who have ideas for software and are exploring what AI now makes possible.
Perhaps you’ve already tried vibe coding and experienced the initial wow, followed by the realisation that getting the application to behave exactly as you imagined is a different challenge.
You don’t need to be technical and you don’t need to know anything about traditional requirements engineering.
Just bring your curiosity, experiences and ideas.
Why now?
For years, software development has focused heavily on how we build.
AI is dramatically reducing that barrier.
That puts renewed focus on something much more fundamental:
What are we trying to achieve and can we explain it clearly enough?
We think requirements are about to become interesting again.
Not as long documents or rigid processes, but as intent, context, decisions and instructions that humans and AI can both work with.
Come explore what that could mean.
Format
Short talks → Live demo → Open discussion → Networking
This is the first event in what we hope will become an ongoing conversation around intent-driven product development, AI and modern requirements.
Come early. Bring an idea. Join the discussion.
