AI coding tools have made it easier than ever to turn an idea into a working application, and it is changing the way software is developed.
✅ This year half of all code will be generated by AI
✅ “Vibe coding” was Collins Dictionary’s 2025 Word of the Year
✅ Agentic coding platforms like Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Cursor, and Claude Code allow anyone to build an app, even without previous coding experience
But once you have a prototype, how do you turn it into something people actually use?
At this Seattle Tech Week event, you’ll hear from founders who used AI coding tools to build their own apps and gain real traction. They’ll share live demos of their products, what they learned after launching, how they moved beyond the first prototype, and what worked when acquiring their first customers.
You’ll also have the chance to build your own app with support from dedicated vibe coding mentors, connect with other current and aspiring founders, and meet people who are actively shipping with AI.
