AI After Hours: Building for Beginners Session 01

The Starting Block! CLRT × TheBlock. present the opening night of AI After Hours: Building for Beginners, a four-part Thursday series taking Dubai's professionals, founders and operators from chatting with AI to building with it. Tonight is the introduction. We launch the CLRT × TheBlock. partnership, walk the room through the progression the whole series covers, from chatting with AI, to delegating real work to it, to autonomous workflows and AI agents, and take your questions live. Vishal shows how a non-technical founder should actually approach AI, using real examples from how CLRT runs its own companies. No code, no hype, and no laptops needed. The series then goes hands-on across two Thursday evenings and closes with a live hackathon, where those who want to can put their new skills against a real-world business problem and demo what they built on stage. Who it's for? Beginners who want to learn how to build with Claude, not just chat with it. Professionals across marketing, finance, HR, sales and consulting who already use AI every day and know they are only scratching it. Companies developing internal AI skills and capability, who want their teams to leave with a method rather than a tool list. Investors looking for problem solvers, people who can apply AI to real business problems and prove it under pressure at the final. Dubai-based entrepreneurs who want to meet the people actually building in this space. No technical background required. Just arrive curious and commercially minded.Your host Vishal Sachar, Co-Founder and CEO of applied AI firm CLRT.
