​AI x Build - Design & Validate Your Product Idea With AI

​​This event is a collaboration with the AI Builder community “Build x AI,” supported by Ape Unit — a Berlin-based development company.

​This workshop is for designers, engineers, AI builders from all backgrounds and for those aspiring to become one.

​TL;DR

• ​Learn about the current state of building with AI and watch the live demo on how to design, build and validate

• ​Bring your AI idea, prototype, or project — Work on your idea in the session and submit via Pionext to get feedback (here’s the tutorial).

• ​Connect with builders, creators, and potential co-founders online from around the world. (We are going to use this discord server for this: https://discord.gg/Vzp6p3E6Q)

​What to Expect

​We’ll start with an overview of “vibe-coding” — the latest workflows and tools (Cursor, Claude, Codex, Bolt, Lovable, V0, etc.) that make building and iterating on AI ideas faster and more intuitive.

​The rest of the session is all about you: pitch your project, get peer feedback, and find collaborators.

​We’ll use Pionext, our community-built platform, to facilitate feedback, collaboration, and early user connections.

Agenda

​Intro: AI-Augmented Coding (Vibe-Coding) A short hands-on talk introducing current workflows, tools, and patterns for faster AI-assisted development.

​Real-Time Creation Showcase A live demo where the speaker designs and builds a prototype in just 20 minutes to share best practices.

​Workshop: Build Your Prototype It's time to build! Work on your own idea or join forces with others. We'll be here to help you get unstuck. Submit your finished prototype to our platform.

​Project Showcase & Pitches Creators will pitch their ideas, receive feedback, and connect with attendees who may join, contribute, or sign up for early access.

He is a partner at Unit 8 (Ape Unit), an emerging-tech venture & development studio, and previously co-founded dacade (a peer-to-peer developer education platform) and Abend (an algorithmic marketing platform). More recently (September 2025), he launched 900s, an interactive, podcast-style learning app with 15-minute episodes and live AI Q&A (20k+ users), and he organizes biweekly AI-builder meetups in Berlin. With his team at Unit 8, he is also building Pionext, an idea-validation launchpad that lets creators pre-sell usage credits to prove demand before they build.
