Build with AI: Come with an idea, leave with a working app.

All-day beginner 'vibe coding' event from GDG Chicago at TAG's Fulton Market office: non-programmers use AI assistants to build a working app prototype from a plain-English idea, with mentors on hand and food provided.

Why it matters

A room full of non-technical attendees prompting AI assistants all day, unsupervised on cost, is a live case study in how much token spend unmanaged 'vibe coding' generates per finished prototype.

The tokenmaxxing angle

Because attendees never write code directly, every iteration toward a working prototype is a fresh AI-assistant prompt — effectively an unmetered field trial of how many generation attempts non-technical users need.

From the organizers

Hosts Dan Baran, Joel Vasallo (Director of Platform Engineering, TAG - The Aspen Group), and Amanda Rossi (Web Developer, Bag Tags Inc) run it Sat July 25, 9am-5pm at TAG's Fulton Market office, lunch/drinks provided.
