Writing down what will be built, who will use it and what counts as success.

Building Without Code: Product Development with AI
From idea to launch: a hands-on route to building an internal tool, prototype or small product with AI-assisted tools.
- Duration
- 2 days
- Format
- On-site / Online
- Level
- Introductory to intermediate
- Category
- Artificial Intelligence
Getting an internal tool built no longer means waiting in a developer queue. Over two days participants turn their own idea into a working version — and learn where this approach stops.
Who it is for
- Teams that need internal tools but have limited developer resource
- Founders who want to test an idea quickly
- Operations teams digitising their processes
By the end of this programme
- Turn an idea into a workable specification
- Choose the right tool for the job
- Build a working first version with interface, data and flow
- Read an error message and ask for the right fix
- Launch with a domain and measurement in place
- Know the limits and the point where a real developer is needed
Programme content
Choosing the tool
Different platform classes for internal tools, landing pages, automation and prototypes, and the criteria for choosing.
Building the first version
Setting up the interface, data model and core flow; the discipline of moving piece by piece.
Iteration
Reading error messages, describing the problem, keeping changes small and taking versions.
Launching
Domain, hosting, forms and measurement; access and permissions.
Limits
Where this approach falls short in terms of security, scale and maintenance.
