buildDay: Build & Deploy a Working AI App in 6 Hours (Zero Coding Experience Required)
Build a real AI-powered web app in one day. Deploy it live. Take it home.
Never built an app before? Perfect. That's exactly who this is for.
In 6 hours, you'll go from zero to a fully deployed AI application-not a tutorial, not a prototype, but a real app that works on the internet.
What You'll Build
We're all building the same application together (follow-along style):
A full-stack web app with AI features
Real database backend (Supabase)
Live deployment (Vercel)
Working AI integration (showing how to integrate AI into your application)
You'll have the link to show friends by end of day.
What You'll Learn:
The fundamentals of modern web development:
Scoping: What's realistic to build (and what's not)
Planning: Turning ideas into buildable specs
v0 "Vibe Coding": Using AI to generate your frontend
Frontend: How user interfaces actually work
Backend: Connecting to databases and APIs
AI Integration: Adding AI features to your app
What You'll Leave With
A deployed app you built (with your name on it)
Basic understanding of how modern apps are made
Confidence that you can build software
Clear sense of what you'd need to learn to build your own ideas
Who This Is For
Complete beginners who want to understand how apps work
People with ideas who don't know where to start
Anyone curious about AI tools for development
Professionals wanting to understand technical concepts better
No coding experience required. Seriously.

By 3pm, you'll have something real to show for it.
