From Vibe Coding to Production: The Founder & CTO Workflow by AI Builders Vietnam & Antler
Hands-on AI Product Workshop Hosted by AI Builders Vietnam & Antler
We’re starting 2026 with action. After hosting 14 events over the past four months, we’ve seen strong demand for meaningful, hands-on workshops that go beyond traditional panel sharing. This workshop is for early-stage founders, operators, and builders who are done with "ideating" and ready to start building.
This session mimics the real-world collaboration between a Product Founder and a CTO. We will demonstrate how non-technical founders can use "Vibe Coding" to build their first MVP, and then show how technical leaders audit, harden, and scale that MVP into production-ready software.
Think: 50% Product Speed, 50% Engineering Rigor, 100% Execution.
In this workshop, we feature Minh Hoang (Head of Product) to demonstrate the zero-to-one building process, alongside Duy Nguyen (CTO, Founder of Build in Public community with 50k people) to showcase the engineering perspective on scaling.
🗓 Agenda
Session 1 – Minh Hoang
Head of Product
🎯 Ship a Functional MVP in 45 Minutes: A Workshop for Non-Technical Founders
Minh Hoang kicks off the session by tackling the classic founder's dilemma: "I have an idea, but I can't code." In this hands-on demonstration, she will show you how to ship a functional MVP in just 45 minutes using Claude Code and MCP.
What you’ll learn:
From Idea to PRD: How to translate a raw concept into a structured Product Requirements Document (PRD) to validate demand.
From PRD to Product: How to use the latest AI toolkits—including Claude skills, MCP, and Claude Code—to turn those requirements into a working prototype.
👉 Outcome: If you have an idea and have been searching for a technical founder, this workshop allows you to stop waiting and start building.
Prerequisite: To follow the live coding session 100%, please set up your GitHub repository and complete the pre-read instructions beforehand.
Session 2 -Duy Nguyen
CTO / Founder @ Build in Public Vietnam
⚡ The CTO Perspective: Scaling the MVP with an Engineering Mindset
Duy Nguyen takes over to answer the Future CEO's question: "How do I ensure this doesn't break when 1,000 users show up?" This session audits the "Vibe Coded" MVP and refactors it for stability.
You’ll learn how to:
The Reality Check: A breakdown of where the "Vibe Coded" MVP is vulnerable (Hallucinations, Latency, API Costs).
Refactoring with ClaudeKit: Moving from a script to a system by structuring messy MVP code into a reliable framework.
Manage Technical Debt: Knowing when to hire devs and how to handle rate limits, caching, and error handling.
👉 Walk away with: A clear roadmap on moving from a "Cool Demo" to a "Scalable Product."
Session 3 – Recap & Q&A
We wrap up with a guided discussion on the trade-offs: The balance between "Building Fast" and "Building Right."
