BUILD WHAT SELLS: Product Thinking to Live AI App in 2 days

Build what Sells: From Product Thinking to Production-ready App in 2 days

Most hackathons jump straight into coding. We don’t. This is a 2-day, hands-on AI product build sprint where you’ll not only ship a live, production-ready AI app — you’ll also learn structured product thinking frameworks that ensure you’re building the right idea, the right way.

You’ll follow a framework-driven build process that combines product strategy with technical execution:

• Identify the right problem worth solving
• Shape it into a solution people will pay for
• Build it using AI tools like Cursor, Agentic workflows & modern frameworks
• Deploy a production-ready product with DB, authentication, AI agent & usable UI

And you won’t do it alone — you’ll work alongside fellow founders and Product leaders in a collaborative, high-energy environment with ongoing support after the event.

Why It’s Different

• Zero Prior Coding Required – Scaffolded guidance to harness AI as your co-builder and ensure you deploy with speed and quality even if this is your first build.
• Framework-First, Build-While-Learning – Product thinking isn’t an afterthought; it’s integrated into every step. You don’t just hack features; you validate problems, scope solutions, and decide what to do next.
• Live Deployment – Your app isn’t a demo; it’s running in production by the end
• Proof of Work – Show you can deliver, not just ideate and walk away with real assets for your portfolio, pitch or Monday meeting
  

Who Should Join?

• Founder or Builder – Want to launch a product, not just talk about it
• Product Manager or Product Leader – Need hands-on AI skills to deliver real outcomes
• Aspiring Entrepreneur – Looking for a proof of work to attract users or investors
• AI-Curious Professional – Ready to turn curiosity into a tangible product
  

What You Will Walk Away With

• Production-Ready AI App – Live, deployed, with DB, Auth, AI agent & polished UI
• Exact AI Build Prompts – Prompts for secure, bug-free, user-loved apps
• Product Thinking Muscle – Frameworks to identify, validate & execute winning ideas
• Hands-On Tech Skills – AI integration, full-stack basics & rapid build workflows
• Ongoing Community Access – Keep building, get feedback, and refine post-event
