UXDX 2026 Workshop
AI Prototyping for Non-Engineers: Demo + Hackathon
In this session, you’ll become an AI-Enhanced Product Creator. We'll start with how Product Creators have moved beyond basic prompting into higher-leverage activities like tooling, agents and prototyping. Then, we'll go deep into AI prototyping with a hands-on AI Hackathon.
Attendees will learn how non-engineers can quickly turn ideas into interactive experiences with an intro to vibe coding, a live demo and then a hands-on hackathon. Each attendee will pick an idea (or bring their own), craft a strong prompt, “code” an interactive prototype (optionally wiring in real APIs), and share prototypes and learnings with the group.
Key Topics:
The AI-Enhanced Product Creator. Learn the four personas of AI Product Creators.
AI Techniques for Product Creators. Progress from prompting to higher level AI activities such as tooling, agents, prototyping and coding.
Intro to AI Prototyping/Vibe Coding. Learn how non-engineers with vibe coding tools can quickly manifest ideas into interactive experiences and test with customers faster. Includes a live demo creating a vibe-coded app.
AI Hackathon: Creating Prototypes with Vibe Prototyping Tools. Bring an idea or pick an idea, develop a prompt, and “code” an interactive prototype. Add real APIs for more realistic interactivity. Cross-pollinate progress by sharing prototypes with the group. All in one session.
*Note: We will provide credits for a popular vibe coding platform you can use during the session.
