Vibe Creating with Charles Ajemian & DJ Little

Get a Head Start - AI Vibe Creating

This workshop will focus on using Gemini-based AI tools to help teams develop a one-page lean canvas, a research report, a visual prototype via Google Stitch, and a pitch deck.

This hands-on workshop teaches participants how to use AI tools at every key stage of building a project: planning, researching, visual prototyping, and pitching.

Inspired by the structure of the Ideas of Impact Challenge, this session shows how AI can be more than a shortcut; it can be a strategic thinking partner. Participants will learn how to:

• Clarify their problem and define a strong value proposition using AI-supported planning tools
• Speed up research and customer discovery with focused AI prompts
• Build a visual prototype or demo using accessible AI platforms
• Craft a clear, confident pitch that tells a compelling story

Instead of using AI just to generate content, this workshop focuses on using AI to sharpen ideas, reduce confusion, and move from concept to action quickly.

By the end of the session, participants will leave with:

• A clearer project direction
• A basic prototype or demo concept
• A stronger and more structured pitch

This workshop is ideal for first-time founders, student innovators, and social impact teams who want to move fast while building something meaningful.

Workshop participants will need a laptop, a Gmail account, and their phone to participate in this session.
