TheVibeFounder x Chicago AI Forge
Anyone can prompt ChatGPT. Very few people have an AI system doing real work for them. Tonight is about closing that gap.
Bring a problem you deal with every week. You'll leave with a working agent or AI tool that handles it: an inbox triager, a lead researcher, a content engine, a client-intake bot, whatever fits your work.
Who this is for
Non-technical people (founders, marketers, operators, consultants, clinicians, creators) who want AI doing real work, not just giving answers. No coding needed.
Technical people (engineers, PMs, data folks) who want to ship an agent, try new tools, and get feedback in the room.
Anyone who's been saying "I should automate that" for six months.
Who this is NOT for
AI first-timers. If you've never used ChatGPT, Claude, or similar, this isn't your starting line. Spend a week prompting, then come back and build.
The AI-curious but unconvinced. If you're still deciding whether AI is worth your time, this room has already decided.
Can't code but use AI every week? You're exactly who this is for.
What you'll leave with
A working agent or AI tool built around your own workflow
A clear picture of what's worth automating and what isn't
A group of Chicago builders to keep building with
The evening
6:00 | Arrive and set up: get logged in and choose what you'll build
6:30 | Workshop: AJ and Justin shows how they pick what to build, how they build agents, and how they get people to use them
7:00 | Build session (2 hrs): hands-on build with support in the room. Beginners are paired with no-code tools, and technical builders go as deep as they want.
9:00 | Demo night: show what you built and get live feedback from VC investors
9:30 | Networking
What to bring
Laptop and charger
One real, repetitive task you want AI to take off your plate
