A hands-on program that helps participants use AI-powered tools to develop practical solutions

The AI Build Experience offers an accessible, hands-on environment for participants to experiment with AI, develop new skills and create functional solutions. Experiences may be delivered through hackathons, workshops, guided build sessions or other collaborative formats, with timing and activities adapted to the audience and setting.

Participants may explore solutions related to internal automation, marketing and communications, community impact or other emerging needs. With access to practical tools, guidance and opportunities to test and refine their ideas, participants build confidence using AI to turn real challenges into usable prototypes.

No Technical Experience

You do not need to be a developer or have a finished idea. The point of the experience is to explore what you can build with AI and turn a real challenge into something tangible.

Custom AI App

You will have the opportunity to create your custom AI solution/assistant tailored to your business needs.

Hackathon-Like Feel

You will have the opportunity to ideate, implement and pitch your idea to a panel of judges.

Hands on AI Tool Experience

During your session you will be given free Lovable build credits to plan and develop your idea.

Networking Opportunities

Make connections with a community of fellow entrepreneurs that will grow outside of the program!
