Build Your First AI App: A Hands-On Workshop for Female Founders
Advertisement
Join a hands-on session where you will learn how to use AI to build and test your ideas quickly, without relying on developers.
About this Event

You have ideas. You know what your business needs.
But building tools, apps, or automations has always felt out of reach.

This workshop changes that.

Join us for a hands-on session designed for female founders who want to use AI to build, test, and launch ideas faster, without needing a technical background.

You will go from idea to working prototype in one session.



What You Will Do

This is not a talk. You will build.

During the session, you will:

  • Turn an idea into a simple product or tool
  • Learn how to “talk to AI” to get what you want
  • Build a working prototype using AI tools
  • Test and improve your idea in real time
  • See how fast you can go from concept to something usable

You will leave with something you created.


What You Will Learn
  • How founders are building products without developers
  • The basics of prompt writing that actually works
  • How to structure an idea so AI can build it
  • Tools you can use to create apps, automations, or agents
  • How to move faster without overthinking or overbuilding

AI now allows you to go from concept to working product much faster than traditional development

This workshop shows you how.


Who This Is For
  • Female founders with ideas they want to build
  • Business owners who want to move faster
  • Non-technical founders who feel blocked by execution
  • Creatives who want to turn ideas into products

No coding experience needed.


What to Expect
  • Short intro to how AI works in business
  • Live demo of building something from scratch
  • Guided hands-on build session
  • Support while you create your own idea
  • Founder networking at the end

Workshops like this typically combine learning, building, and collaboration in one session


What to Bring
  • Your laptop
  • One idea you want to build
  • Openness to experiment

Why Attend

Because waiting for developers, overthinking your idea, or staying stuck is no longer necessary.

You can build.

And once you build once, everything changes.
