Let’s Vibe at XI
Where Builders Come to Share, Learn, and Level Up.
Second Thursdays, 5–7 PMOctober Special Session: MAKE IT WORK
Can I turn my prototype into a real app?
We’re excited to welcome back Stephanie Battista Hubbard, Head of Innovation at Humanity Innovation Labs and XI Mentor, for the next step in our vibe coding journey: taking a prototype and making it actually work.
From Prototype → Product
You built something. Now what happens when someone actually needs to use it?
Stephanie will kick off the session with a focused, 30-minute exploration of the building blocks that turn a prototype into a functional product. We’ll look at databases, authentication, APIs, AI capabilities, payments, user workflows, and deployment - and how today’s vibe coding tools can help connect the pieces.
Through a live demo, Stephanie will take a simple prototype and add real functionality, showing what it takes to move beyond a great-looking interface toward something people can actually use.
Then it’s your turn to build.
For the remaining 90 minutes, we’ll Level Up Your Build. Bring the prototype you started in September - or start something new - and choose one important piece to make work.
Connect a database. Add user authentication. Integrate an API. Build in an AI capability. Accept a payment. Create a working user flow. Or finally get your app deployed to the web.
You don’t have to finish your entire product. The goal is to make one meaningful leap forward.
Bring your prototype. Pick a feature. Make it work.
Come Prepared to Build
This is a hands-on session, so please come ready to jump in:
Bring your laptop + charger. You’ll be building during the session.
Access the Google Doc: Session Prompts. Have it open and ready to reference.
Create a free account with at least one vibe coding platform: Lovable, Bolt, Base44, or Claude.
Bring an idea you want to build. Continue your September prototype or start something completely new.
Save your free usage for the session. These sessions are designed around free plans, many of which have daily usage or token limits that reset each day. Please avoid building or experimenting with your selected vibe coding tool within 24 hours of the meetup so you have as much free usage available as possible when we start.
Wi-Fi will be provided on site. Access information will be available when you arrive.
Come ready to turn “I made this” into “It actually works.”
Show up ready to experiment, build, and see how far you can take your idea in one evening.
Grab your spot, show up, and vibe with us.
Light snacks and water will be available.
Anyone is welcome to attend who is interested in learning more about Vibe Coding or expanding their skills.
