My friend Ilya asked me to help facilitate an AI workshop with Women in Tech Japan and Tokyo AI on January 17th. The format caught my attention: participants come in with a business idea, and by the end of the day they’ve built something real.
Tools like Google AI Studio have made this kind of thing possible - you can go from idea to working prototype without manually writing a single line of code yourself, then export the whole thing to GitHub when you’re ready to take it to the next level with your development team.
This lets even non-technical founders from zero to 100 in a way that just wasn’t possible a year ago - hell, six months ago.
What a time to be alive!
