AI Product Builder Workshop

Join us for a practical two-part workshop series on building AI products—from identifying a defensible opportunity to shipping a working prototype. We'll begin by exploring one of the biggest questions in AI today: How do you build an AI product that competitors can't easily copy? As foundation models become increasingly commoditized, sustainable differentiation comes from proprietary data, user trust, and continuous learning—not just model selection. You'll learn practical frameworks for identifying defensible AI opportunities, designing data flywheels, and evaluating products through the lens of long-term competitive advantage. Next, we'll put those ideas into practice with a live Replit AI prototyping session. We'll demonstrate how to rapidly turn an idea into a functional AI application, integrate LLMs into real user experiences, and iterate quickly based on feedback—all without months of engineering effort. Whether you're a founder, product manager, engineer, designer, or AI enthusiast, you'll leave with both a strategic framework for building lasting AI businesses and the practical skills to launch your first AI MVP. No prior AI development experience is required—just bring your curiosity and a laptop.
