About this event

From Prototype to "Shipped"

Welcome to the next phase of Data Science-AI-Cloud Sundays. We’ve spent time exploring what AI can do; now, we’re focusing on what you can build. This session is all about narrowing the gap between a great idea and a live project. We are diving back into AI Studios to master the art of rapid prototyping with one goal in mind: shipping.

🏗️ Today’s Technical Roadmap

  1. AI Studios Selection: Understanding when to use the lightweight speed of Google AI Studio versus the robust, enterprise power of Vertex AI Studio.

  2. Rapid Blueprinting: Using "Build Mode" to generate functional application structures in minutes rather than days.

  3. Iteration & Refinement: Learning how to "talk" to your prototype to fix bugs, change UI elements, and refine the AI's reasoning.

  4. The Path to Deployment: A step-by-step look at how to take your prototype out of the studio and move it toward a live, shareable URL.

🌟 Why This Workshop is Critical

In the current tech landscape, the most valuable skill isn't just knowing how to code—it's the ability to ship. * Breaking "Tutorial Hell": Many learners get stuck in a cycle of endless courses. This workshop forces a shift from consumption to creation, helping you build a tangible portfolio.

  • Speed as a Competitive Edge: In 2026, the barrier to entry for building apps has never been lower. Those who can prototype and test an idea in a single afternoon will lead the next wave of innovation.

  • Community Growth: By building and sharing in public, we strengthen our local ecosystem, turning our community from a group of learners into a hub of active builders and creators.

👥 Who Should Join?

  • Aspiring Builders: If you have an idea for an app or a tool but haven't known how to start the "build," this is for you.

  • Data & Cloud Transitioners: For those moving from data science scripts to functional cloud applications.

  • The "Curious Beginner": No advanced engineering degree required. If you can describe what you want to build, you can prototype it here.

  • Career Improvers: Anyone looking to add "Rapid AI Prototyping" to their CV—a highly sought-after skill in today’s market.
