AI is incredible for many reasons, but this is one that surprised me. I’ve dabbled in programming my whole life and it never really clicked. With ChatGPT, something changed. I now spend most of my free time building small tools and solving “software-shaped problems” in my personal and professional life.
This session is for beginners. You’ve used AI mostly through chat, and you have the sense there’s more there.
We’ll run a structured exercise where you build a simple personal or professional website reflecting your brand or services. No coding experience needed.
What you’ll need:
-
Computer to work from;
-
Free account on V0 for building your first prototype;
-
Free account on GitHub to save your code;
-
Free account on Vercel to publish your site;
-
If you want to go further: Paid account on V0, Claude or ChatGPT.
- Those who want can download their prototype site and run it locally with Claude Code or OpenAI Codex during the session.
What to expect:
-
You’ll go from “using AI” to “building with AI” in one session.
-
We’ll work fast, in short cycles, and focus on getting something live rather than perfect.
Homework:
-
Register free accounts on V0, GitHub and Vercel.
-
Review our guide on Coding for Non-Coders, where you will learn about the concepts we'll be covering.
-
Optional: join the Coding Club group in the Envisioning WhatsApp Community.
Participant feedback from previous sessions:
-
It was a great introduction! I am motivated to continue the exploration.
-
Phenomenal return on time invested.
-
You make it safe to be brave in using AI technology as an absolutely not technical creative!
