Vibe Coding: Build a Business from Scratch with AI
It’s never been easier to build something — and never harder to know what’s worth building. In this session, Bethany Crystal shares a behind-the-scenes look at how she turned a scrappy AI prototype into a real-world education product, MuseKat, without writing a line of code.
You’ll learn:
- How to use AI and low or no-code tools (like Cursor, Replit, ChatGPT, and Claude) to move from idea to MVP,
- The fundamentals of “vibe coding” (the art of building from instinct, not instruction) and the limitations of scaling with this model,
- Where most early-stage builders get stuck, and how to push through,
- How to prepare yourself for a lifelong career of learning beyond the classroom,
- An inside peek at today’s technology job market in an AI-first era of work,
- Whether you’re an aspiring founder, solo builder, or just AI-curious, this session will give you a practical playbook to get started, and a clear-eyed view of what it really takes to go from vibes to viable.
This workshop has the opportunity for hands-on practice. If you want to build alongside others we recommend downloading Cursor, or creating a free account on Replit, Claude or ChatGPT. Workshop participants will have the opportunity to access one free month of ReplitPro after the workshop.
