The Build Lab
October 27 @ 3:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Build your best app yet!
Think you can’t build your product because you can’t code? That’s almost never the real problem.
The real problem is starting. It’s knowing exactly what you’re building before you write a single prompt.
This session starts with Madalena Costa’s groundwork: what to decide and prepare before development begins.
Then you spend the rest of the afternoon actually building your product with AI alongside others, with support in the room.
Never used AI or written a line of code? Perfect, this can be your first time. Just show up!

A woman founder building your product with AI
