Build Your App in One Day with AI: Vibe Coding Workshop

This isn't another AI lecture. This is an 8-hour, hands-on workshop where you build YOUR app from scratch and deploy it live on the internet — all in a single day, with zero coding experience.

You bring your idea. The AI builds it for you.

Using Claude (for planning and design), Google AntiGravity (for building), and Firebase (for your database, login system, and hosting), you'll go from a blank screen to a fully functional, publicly accessible app by 5:30 PM.

All tools, subscriptions, and accounts are provided. You don't need to buy or set up anything, just bring your laptop and your ideas.

Why this workshop

Most AI courses teach you theory. You sit in a lecture, practise on the same demo project as everyone else, and leave with knowledge but nothing to show for it.

This workshop is the opposite.

You walk in with YOUR idea. Not a tutorial project. Not a follow-along exercise. YOUR idea — the app you've been wanting to build. And by the end of the day, it's live on the internet for anyone to use. Don't have an idea yet? No problem — we provide 3–5 ready-made ideas you can build and learn with.

The format is simple: I show you how I build, step by step. Then you follow along and do it yourself. With only 3–4 students per session, you get dedicated 1-on-1 guidance the entire day.

Every single student ships.

What this workshop covers

• How apps and websites actually work (frontend, backend, databases, hosting, authentication)
• Introduction to Claude, Google AntiGravity, Firebase, and how vibe coding works
• Idea selection, MVP scoping, and writing a professional app brief with Claude
• Creating a brand style (colours, fonts, design direction) with Claude
• Setting up AntiGravity and configuring MCP servers
• Building your app from brief to working prototype, with testing and debugging
• Connecting Firebase for authentication, database, and storage
• Running an AI security check, deploying live with Git, and connecting a custom domain

What you walk away with

• A working app, deployed and accessible via a real URL you can show anyone
• Your project files on your machine, ready to keep building
• Practical skills with Claude + AntiGravity + Firebase
• Knowledge of the full tool landscape for your next project
• App store publishing checklist for Google Play / Apple

What you need

• Laptop (Windows or Mac) with Chrome installed
• Basic computer experience (you can use a browser and type)
• 3–5 app ideas, or just come ready to learn — we provide ideas too
• No coding or design experience needed
• All accounts, tools, and subscriptions are provided for you

Why Claude + AntiGravity + Firebase

There are dozens of AI building tools in 2026. We've tested them all. This is the stack that actually gets a non-coder from idea to live app in one day.

Claude handles the thinking. You use Claude to write your app brief, define features, and generate your brand style (colours, fonts, design direction). This is the blueprint that makes everything else work. Most people skip this step and wonder why their AI-built app looks generic. We don't skip it.

AntiGravity handles the building. It's a real IDE that runs on your machine, not a browser sandbox that crashes when your project gets complex. You paste your brief, the AI agent plans the work, writes the code, tests it in a built-in browser, and deploys it. You manage the outcome. The AI does the coding.

Firebase handles the backend. User accounts, database, storage, and hosting, all connected to AntiGravity with one click. No manual configuration. No separate services to set up.

Why not Lovable, Bolt, or AI Studio? They're browser-based builders. They feel magical at first, but as your app grows past 15–20 components, the browser slows down, the AI loses context, and things start breaking. With Bolt in particular, developers have documented costs spiralling into the hundreds just debugging AI-introduced issues. Your project lives inside a browser tab. If it gets complex, you're fighting the tool instead of building.

The bottom line: Claude + AntiGravity + Firebase is the most complete stack for a beginner to plan, build, test, and deploy a real app in one day.

Why learn from us?

I've spent 12 years in digital design and development. Through Jin Design, I've helped launch over 100 websites for clients including Phillip Futures, Singlife, Allianz, VulcanPost, and Lion Global Investors.

But this workshop isn't about my agency work. It's about what I've been doing for the past year: teaching myself AI-powered development from scratch. I've since shipped multiple real apps using this exact Claude + AntiGravity + Firebase workflow. I'll show you these apps at the start of the workshop, not screenshots, the actual live products.

I keep the class small (max 4 students) because I want every person to leave with a deployed app, not just notes. All tools, subscriptions, and accounts are provided so you don't have to worry about anything except building.
