ALL Build Lab Masterclass #2: Data-Ready for AI: From Raw Data to Intelligent Applications
A great AI prototype starts with more than a good prompt. It starts with data that is well-prepared, understood, and governed. In this session, we’ll explore how to prepare data for AI applications, build context that helps AI interpret information correctly, and incorporate governance considerations like data quality, privacy, and access controls. Through a practical Databricks demonstration and hands-on exercise, you’ll learn how to connect data to AI agents, provide the right business context, and build more reliable AI-powered solutions.
This is the second masterclass in the AI Ladies Lounge Build Lab 2026, a four-week build sprint in November.
What we’ll do
Explore how to prepare and structure data for AI applications.
Connect real or sample data to an AI-powered solution.
Build context so AI can understand business data and terminology.
Apply governance principles around data quality, privacy, and access.
Explore how these foundations help move prototypes towards production-ready solutions.
You’ll leave with
A working core feature connected to real or sample data, a better understanding of how context and governance shape AI applications, and a practical checklist for building with data responsibly.
Who it’s for
Anyone who wants to build with AI, whether you code every day or have never built anything. Bring a laptop and an idea.
This virtual session is designed for Build Lab 2026 participants; however, we are opening it up for all who are interested.
The ticket price is a suggested donation, but every bit helps fund our community and programs for women shaping the future of technology.

AI Ladies Lounge - Build Lab (Aug - Dec 2026)
AI Ladies Lounge is so excited to open the doors on an exciting new opportunity for community members: the AI Ladies Lounge Build Lab.
Over the next few months, we are inviting our community to move from learning about AI to actually building with it, but at the pace that feels right for them. Here's the shape of it:
Prep stage (Aug–Oct): Three curated virtual sessions and resources to help you explore, get inspired, and slowly warm up to the idea of building something of your own. These resources and sessions are to support everyone with different levels of expertise getting ready for the 'Build Lab'. Sessions are open for everyone.
Build sprint (Nov): A 4-week sprint with mentorship, masterclasses, and facilitated support. You can build solo or with a team. Registrations open at the end of October.
Demo Day (Dec 10): Selected builders share their work in person in front of an audience, and we celebrate together! More details coming soon!
