Course overview

Go from FOMO to clarity on AI app "vibe coding" tools—in one honest weekend.

This isn’t just another no-code tutorial. This is a weekend bootcamp designed to help you cut through the hype and BS around AI-generated apps and platforms and get the realities of the amazing potential and the limitations of AI-generated apps. You’ll go hands-on with the top tools, see where they shine (and where they fail), and build your own mini project to test what's real.

Whether you’re a busy professional, side hustler, or just AI-curious, this crash course gives you the clarity to decide: Should you go all in on vibe coding—or walk away smarter than most?

Expect demos, break-it-to-learn-it moments, 1:1 help, and zero fluff. You’ll leave knowing what these tools can really do—and whether they’re right for you.

Who is this course for

Busy professionals who keep hearing about AI app tools but don’t have time to chase hype.

Tech-adjacent folks (marketing, ops, content) who want to build something—but don’t code and aren’t sure where to start.

Side hustlers and freelancers curious if vibe coding can actually lead to usable apps—or money.

Side hustlers and freelancers curious if vibe coding can actually lead to usable apps—or money.

What people are saying

“Yuying made complex AI concepts actually make sense, even on an early morning session. Her clarity and energy kept me hooked the whole time.”

Aparna B.

Founder, Datavine

Yuying has deep expertise in AI, but what truly stands out is her ability to make complex concepts easy to understand and apply. Her AI workshops are engaging, inclusive, and leave you feeling empowered to use AI with confidence.

Mariano S.

VP of Engineering, AFS

“Yuying and I have way too much fun breaking through the AI BS together. She has a gift for removing the intimidation factor and making this tech actually usable—even for skeptics like us.”

Polly A.

CEO AI Career Boost and AI Afterhours Podcast cohost

“Smart AI people usually aren’t this fun. Yuying’s got the brains and the humor to make this stuff actually click. We need more of that if AI’s ever going to be usable by real humans.”

David N.

Former CEO, Booktopia

Yuying Chen-Wynn

Yuying Chen-Wynn is the former Head of AI at PEAK6, where she led everything Generative AI across buy, build, invest, and risk manage for a multi-billion-dollar family of companies. Before that, she was Chief Product Officer at Barnes & Noble Education and has spent over 20 years building products—13 of those building AI products in the wild across Big Tech, FinTech, and EdTech.

She’s been deep in the GenAI trenches long before it was trendy—painfully hacking together real products while the tools themselves were still duct-taped together. Her career started in computer vision, back when AI was barely pronounceable, after she accidentally got into MIT just trying to get to Boston (true story).

Yuying is obsessed with cutting through the noise. She co-hosts the no-BS “AI After Hours” podcast with Polly Allen, where they call out hype, hallucinations, and questionable AI optimism. She also writes a sharp, irreverent newsletter on Substack that filters out AI marketing fluff and gets to the signal.

With Yuying leading this bootcamp, you’re not getting theory. You’re getting real-world experience, war stories, live demos, and that honest moment you probably need: "Can I actually build something with this?"
