Cohort-based Course

Go From Idea to Working AI App—In Just 2 Hours

Course overview

Unlock a New Skillset: Vibe Code Your First AI App

By the end of this course, students will go from idea to functional AI app—even if they’ve never written a line of code before. They’ll experience the momentum that comes from building and deploying something real, using modern tools like Replit and OpenAI.


More than a one-off project, this workshop gives students:


A clear mental model for rapid prototyping

Confidence to experiment with AI tools

A repeatable process they can apply to future use cases

The ability to speak about AI and automation with firsthand credibility


They won’t just watch someone build—they’ll do it themselves.

Who is this course for

01

Product managers who want to test ideas faster and prototype without relying on engineering

02

Aspiring PMs or founders looking to differentiate themselves with real AI capabilities

03

Builders, tinkerers, or strategists who are curious about what’s possible with modern no-code/low-code tools

Prerequisites

  • A Replit account ($25 per month tier recommended)

    This is required for your hands-on app building experience.

  • An OpenAI account with API access.

    This is required to build AI capabilities in your working prototype.

What you’ll get out of this course

Build and launch your first AI-powered app using Replit—no coding background needed.

You’ll learn by doing. From a blank screen to a working prototype, you’ll build your first AI-powered app and see how approachable modern prototyping can be—even if you’ve never written code.

Learn how to connect APIs like OpenAI to add intelligence or automation

Learn how to make your app “think” or “act” using simple, powerful APIs. You’ll use tools like OpenAI to power real features—no backend setup, just clear, hands-on instruction.

Adopt the mindset and workflow of rapid prototyping to future-proof your product career

We’ll break down how builders think: fast feedback loops, functional demos, and iterative testing. This mindset makes you more effective and adaptable in modern product roles.

Walk away with the confidence of having built your first AI app using vibe coding

You won’t just talk about AI—you’ll ship something. This experience gives you momentum to explore more ideas, impress stakeholders, and expand your impact as a PM.
