A Creative Community That Builds With AI

Your Ideas Deserve to Exist.

You don't need to be a developer to build software. You need a community that meets you where you are and shows you how to start. That's us.

From our latest community event experience

Our community stays free for everyone thanks to sponsors who believe in what we're building together.

You Have the Ideas.
We'll Help You Build Them.

Most people with great software ideas never build them. They assume they need to hire a developer, learn to code, or wait until "the right time." AI changed that equation. You can describe what you want in plain English and watch it take shape in front of you. The skill is called vibe coding, and anyone can pick it up.

But figuring it out alone is hard. You hit walls. You don't know what questions to ask. You wonder if you're doing it wrong.

That's why this community exists. We bring together people who have ideas — entrepreneurs, business owners, students, creatives — with people who know the tools. Nobody here is a spectator. Everyone builds. The technical folks help translate your vision. The non-technical folks bring the ideas worth translating. And everyone leaves better than they arrived.

  • No experience required. If you can describe what you want, you can build it. We show you how to start.
  • Ongoing, not one-and-done. Monthly events, weekly streams, and a Discord that's active between sessions. This is a place you come back to.
  • All ages, all backgrounds. Kids build alongside founders. First-timers sit next to engineers. The mix is the point.
  • Free to join, free to stay. Every event, every stream, every conversation — no cost, no catch.

The Rhythm

Four ways to plug in — pick one or pick all. The community runs on a steady beat you can count on.

Monthly Events

Last Saturdays @ Noon PT

Our flagship gathering. Learn something new, then build for two hours. In-person in Seattle, live online everywhere else. A random attendee wins a $100 Amazon gift card at every hybrid event.

Weekly Streams

Thursdays @ 6pm PT

Live vibe coding sessions on YouTube and Twitch. Watch builds happen in real time, ask questions, and follow along on your own machine. No registration needed.

Discord Community

Always Open

The space between events. Share what you're building, get help when you're stuck, find collaborators, and see what others in the community are making. This is where relationships form.

Who Belongs Here

If you've ever thought "I wish I could build that" — you're in the right place.

The Entrepreneur

You've been sitting on an app idea, a workflow problem, or a product concept. You've priced out developers. You've looked at no-code tools. You haven't found the right path yet. This community shows you a faster one.

The Business Owner

You run a business and spend too much time on tasks software could handle. Custom tools used to require a budget. Now they require a good description of the problem. We'll show you the rest.

The Curious Explorer

You keep hearing about AI building software and you want to see it for yourself. You're not sure where to start. Start here. No textbook, no bootcamp — you'll build something real on your first session.

The Tech-Adjacent Pro

You work in tech but don't write code. Product managers, designers, marketers, analysts. You know what needs to exist — now you can build it yourself without filing an engineering ticket.

The Student

You're figuring out what you want to do, and this skill will matter no matter what you choose. College students, high schoolers, career changers — everyone is welcome and encouraged to jump in.

The Creative

Artists, musicians, writers, designers who want to make interactive things. Generative art, weird toys, tools for your own workflow. Vibe coding turns creative vision into software you can share with anyone.

What the Community Builds

Community founder Chris Pirillo has vibe coded 274+ apps in the past year. Community members build things like:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is "vibe coding"?

You describe what you want in plain English. AI writes the code. You guide it, refine it, and ship it. No syntax to memorize, no frameworks to learn. If you can explain what you're trying to build, you can build it. Read more about vibe coding here.

I have zero technical experience. Can I still participate?

Yes — and you're exactly who this community was built for. We pair non-technical members with people who know the tools. You bring the idea. The community helps you make it real. Many of our most active members started with no coding background at all.

Is everything free?

Every event, stream, and community space is free. Thanks to sponsors like every.io, we keep it that way. No upsells, no premium tiers.

What do I need to get started?

A laptop and curiosity. For live events, bring your machine and an idea (or let the random word wheel give you one). For streams, just show up and watch. For Discord, join and introduce yourself. There's no wrong entry point.

I'm an entrepreneur. Can I prototype my actual business idea here?

That's one of the best uses of event time. Bring a real problem or product idea and use the two hours to build a working prototype. You'll get feedback from the community and walk away with something you can test with real users.

Can I sponsor your events or promote my product?

We work with sponsors who want to reach a high-intent audience of creators and entrepreneurs. Beyond standard branding, we find creative ways to integrate your tool into the event experience. Get in touch to discuss what makes sense.

Can you run a private workshop for my team or school?

Yes. We bring the full workshop experience to companies, schools, and organizations. We tailor it to your group's goals — whether that's internal innovation, digital literacy, or rapid prototyping. Learn more below.

From the Community

Bring Our Workshop to Your Group

We bring our workshop experience to teams, schools, and organizations worldwide. Same energy, tailored to your people.

Companies & Teams

Turn Your Team Into Builders

Move your team from reading about AI to building with it. We show employees how to vibe code their own workflow solutions and prototypes — skills they'll use the next day.

Schools & Students

Digital Literacy That Sticks

Students (and parents) discover that building software is a creative act, not a memorization exercise. We make AI literacy approachable and fun for all ages.

Business Groups

A Competitive Edge for Local Business

We partner with Chambers of Commerce and economic development groups to show members how to build custom tools with AI — no traditional dev budget required.

Conferences

Embed a Workshop in Your Event

Give your attendees a hands-on session that goes beyond slides. We bring the full workshop experience into your conference schedule — your audience leaves having built something.

1:1 Sessions

Custom Walkthroughs

We answer your questions and walk through custom options for your needs — available privately or as a public live stream where others can learn about your business too.
