Women Who Build #1 | Doing Things AI
Come with an idea. Leave having built something.
Women Who Build is a hands-on AI building session by Doing Things AI, created exclusively for women who want to experiment, build and turn ideas into something real.
Registration Fee: ₹199

Whether you're a student, working professional, entrepreneur, homemaker, or someone looking to return to the workforce, you don't need to be an AI expert or know how to code.
You just need to be curious enough to build.
What happens inside?
You'll team up with other women, pick a problem or idea and spend the session turning it into something tangible using AI.
It could be a product, website, workflow, automation, campaign, prototype, AI agent, service or business idea.
But we don't want to stop at “we built something.”
Problem → Idea → Build → Validate → Monetise → Showcase
You'll think about who you're building for, whether people would use it, how you'd reach them and how the idea could eventually create value or make money.
You won't build alone
Every 2–3 teams will be supported by a mentor with expertise across AI building, product, marketing, sales and business.
You build. Mentors help you move forward.
At the end, teams will showcase what they built, who it's for and how it could create value.
Who is this for?
Students
Women returning to the workforce
Working professionals
Entrepreneurs & founders
Homemakers exploring new possibilities
Marketers, designers, developers, product professionals and first-time builders
No coding experience required.
