i show my friend how to build his first ai app -- live on stage in chicago

A live-on-stage experiment in Chicago's old post office: one builder teaches a zero-code friend to ship his first AI app in two hours.

Why it matters

Whether modern AI tooling truly lets a non-coder ship in an evening is an open question — this event runs the test in public.

The tokenmaxxing angle

Vibe-coding's dirty secret is the token bill behind every 'just describe your app' demo; a live build shows exactly where the spend goes.
