AI Build Night 101 is a hands-on introduction to Large Language Models, centered on using Claude to solve real problems in real time.
This session is built for beginners, non-technical founders, creatives, and professionals who want to understand how AI actually works and how to apply it immediately. Instead of sitting through theory, you’ll learn by doing.
You’ll be guided through how LLMs think, how to communicate with them effectively, and how to turn simple prompts into structured outputs like workflows, plans, and repeatable systems. By the end of the night, you won’t just understand AI, you’ll have used it to build something useful for your own work.
No coding experience needed. Just bring a challenge you want to solve.
Throughout the session, we take a practical, step-by-step approach to demystifying AI and Automation. You’ll learn what these tools actually are (and aren’t), how they fit into real workflows, and where they can create the most impact in your day-to-day work. We’ll explore accessible, no-code and low-code tools that allow you to build without needing a technical background, and we’ll show you how small automations can lead to significant time savings and increased productivity.
Participants won’t just sit and listen because you’ll be actively building. Through guided exercises and real-world examples, you’ll start creating simple automations, experimenting with AI-powered tools, and thinking through how these solutions can apply to your own goals. Whether it’s automating repetitive administrative tasks, organizing and analyzing information more efficiently, improving customer interactions, or quickly prototyping a new idea, you’ll walk away having already taken action.
Beyond the tools themselves, this Build Night 101 is a beginner course built to build confidence and shift your mindset. AI and Automation can feel intimidating at first, but once you understand the fundamentals, they become powerful, approachable resources that anyone can use. By the end of the session, you’ll not only have a stronger understanding of what’s possible, but also a clearer sense of how to continue exploring and building on your own.
Come ready to learn by doing, ask questions, experiment freely, and connect with others who are on a similar journey. You’ll leave with practical knowledge, tangible progress, and a solid foundation to start integrating AI and Automation into your work, your projects, and your everyday life.
