Build Your First App with AI — 3-Day Workshop
About this event
The third in Makersquare.ai's Austin workshop series: three full days building a working application with AI assistance, 9am–4pm daily at Capital Factory, aimed at people who have ideas but not a development background.
From idea to a running application
The closing workshop in Makersquare.ai's autumn Austin series is about shipping software with AI doing the heavy lifting on implementation. Over three consecutive full days participants take an idea through to an application that actually runs — the point being that the bottleneck for most people is no longer writing code but knowing how to direct the tools that write it.
Expect substantial time at the keyboard: scoping something buildable in a weekend, working iteratively with AI coding assistants, and dealing with the parts that AI still gets wrong — debugging, structure, and deciding when generated code is good enough to keep.
Practical details
- When: Friday–Sunday, November 6–8, 2026, 9:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. each day

Registration runs through the organizer's booking form and seats are capped. The series is pitched at motivated beginners and career-changers as much as at engineers; this session in particular assumes no prior development background.
Organized by
An Austin builder community running live-demo and networking nights where makers show AI products they are shipping and swap practical lessons.
