Vibe Coding for Non-Developers: Build Your First AI-Powered Prototype
Beginner friendly
Interactive live sessions
Recordings available
The Vibe Coding for Non-Developers Workshop is a live, hands-on program where you’ll build AI-powered prototypes using modern AI tools and automation workflows. Learn how to turn ideas into working systems with AI agents, workflow automation, databases, and production-ready prototyping tools — no advanced coding experience required. Through guided projects, you’ll create practical workflows like automated invoice systems, email-to-database pipelines, PDF review systems, and AI agent automations focused on real-world business use cases. By the end, you’ll have a working prototype, reusable workflows, and practical AI implementation skills you can apply to productivity, operations, and future AI-native projects.

Erik’s teaching philosophy is practical and builder-first: learn by making something useful while understanding how the system components work together. He is especially interested in AI agents, developer tools, vibe coding, workflow automation, and helping beginners become confident enough to build software that makes a real impact.
What I valued most was the focus on real-world system design and architecture. Our instructor went above and beyond, reinforcing fundamentals until they stuck and making complex concepts like LangChain approachable. The bootcamp gave me the structured, hands-on learning I needed to master skills that truly matter in the industry.

This was an amazing experience! The doubt-clearing sessions were especially helpful, allowing me to learn from my own questions and others'. I loved how each homework task pushed me to apply concepts in new ways, which really made the knowledge stick. I came out of the bootcamp confident and excited to keep building projects — it’s easily a 9.5/10!
