You have ideas. We'll help you build them!

This is a free, ongoing community event series where technical and non-technical people build real software with AI, together.

Entrepreneurs, business owners, students, creatives, engineers — everyone builds side by side. No coding experience needed. No gatekeeping.

Your Ideas Deserve to Exist.

You don't need to be a developer to build software. You need a community that meets you where you are and shows you how to start. That's us.

We'll show you how.

Presented by Every. In-person in Seattle and live online.

This doesn't have to be a one-and-done event for you. Everyone is welcome to join us for all future events and we'll be there to help you as you progress through your various projects and endeavors!

Register Here, Now — Free. Spots are limited for in-person.
Bring a computer — Join us in Seattle or participate online from anywhere.
Learn — A "fireside chat" kicks things off with a featured segment on a relevant AI or building topic. This month: Joel Telling!
Build + Showcase — You build for ~2 hours using your favorite AI tool(s). We'll give you a creative keyword starting point if you didn't bring something to work on yourself and certainly help you along the way! Towards the end, we'll share what we made, and give away a $100 Amazon Gift Card to one registered participant who completes the post-event survey.

Who this is for:

The Entrepreneur — You've been sitting on an app idea or a product concept. You've priced out developers. This is a faster path. Build a working prototype in two hours and test it with real people.
The Business Owner — You run a business and spend too much time on tasks software could handle. Describe the tool you need to an AI and watch it take shape.
The Curious Explorer — You keep hearing about AI building software and you want to see it for yourself. Start here. You'll build something real on your first session.
The Tech-Adjacent Pro — You work in tech but don't write code. Product managers, designers, marketers, analysts. You know what needs to exist — now you can make it yourself.
The Student — College students, high schoolers, career changers. This skill will matter no matter what you choose to do. Jump in.
The Creative — Artists, musicians, designers who want to make interactive things. Vibe coding turns creative vision into software you can share with anyone.

What is "vibe coding"?

You describe what you want in plain English. AI writes the code. You guide it, refine it, and ship it. No syntax to memorize. If you can explain what you're trying to build, you can build it. Learn more about vibe coding.

For a sense of what's possible, community founder Chris Pirillo has vibe coded hundreds of free web apps in the past year without writing code himself.

What's the vibe like?

Fun. Friendly. All ages welcome — bring your kids if they have an imagination. Watch our latest community event to see for yourself.
