📱 AI-Powered Scaffolding – Quickly generate mobile app screens, navigation, and layout
🧠 Smarter Debugging – Use AI to identify and fix issues faster
🛠️ Cross-Platform Setup – Learn the basics of React Native or Flutter using AI-assisted workflows
⚙️ Tool Demos – See how AI can handle repetitive or complex mobile tasks
🚀 Build a Mobile Prototype – Walk away with a functioning app concept on your screen

👩‍💻 Who Should Attend:
Beginners curious about building mobile apps
Founders and product designers wanting to prototype ideas fast
Developers looking to reduce boilerplate in mobile workflows
Anyone excited about coding mobile interfaces with the help of AI
Join us to build your first mobile app—AI makes it faster, easier, and a whole lot more fun.

AI + Databases – Smarter Data Development
🌐 productfoundry.ai Level: Intermediate

Design, Query, and Build with AI-Powered Tools

Ready to level up your backend skills? This hands-on workshop is designed for developers who want to work faster and smarter with databases—especially when integrating AI into their dev workflow.

We’ll explore how to model and manage data using modern object-relational mapping (ORM) tools, and how AI can help generate schemas, write queries, debug issues, and handle migrations. You'll walk away with a better understanding of how to structure your backend, manage data relationships, and build full-stack apps faster.

🔍 What You’ll Experience:
🗄️ Schema Design with AI – Use AI to plan and create normalized, relational data structures.
🧠 Smarter Querying – Learn how AI can assist with SQL generation, joins, and optimization.
🔄 ORM in Practice – Dive into tools like Prisma and TypeORM to map your data to code.
🛠️ Hands-On Coding – Build and connect a backend to a real-world data model.
📊 AI-Accelerated Development – Speed up migrations, seeding, and integration tasks.

👩‍💻 Who Should Attend:
Developers familiar with JavaScript, Python, or backend frameworks
Builders looking to scale their apps with structured data
Intermediate coders eager to deepen their understanding of ORMs and databases
AI-curious devs who want to offload some of the backend heavy lifting
Unlock the full power of your data stack—combine AI with proven tools to build smarter, more maintainable apps.

AI Agent Development – Build Smarter, Context-Aware Systems
🌐 productfoundry.ai. Level: Intermediate

From Prompts to Protocols: Designing Autonomous AI Agents

Move beyond basic prompting and start building AI agents that think, remember, and act. This workshop is perfect for developers ready to dive into the architecture and logic behind AI agents—systems that can carry out tasks, adapt to new inputs, and manage context across sessions.

In this session, you’ll get hands-on experience working with agent design patterns, memory systems, and tool integration, all guided by the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—a simple but powerful approach to agent structuring. Whether you're exploring autonomous workflows or building assistants, this is your chance to learn how real agents work.

🔍 What You’ll Experience:
🧠 AI Agent Architecture – Understand how agents manage context, tools, and tasks.
📦 Model Context Protocol (MCP) – Learn how to structure agent behavior and memory.
🔗 Tool Use + Function Calling – Explore how agents interact with external APIs and tools.
🛠️ Live Agent Demos – See real-time agent execution, memory updates, and tool chaining.
🚀 Hands-On Development – Create your own basic agent using lightweight, open tooling.

👩‍💻 Who Should Attend:
Developers curious about building autonomous, AI-driven systems
Intermediate coders who’ve used AI tools and want to go deeper
Product builders creating smart assistants, internal bots, or workflow agents
Anyone interested in how memory, goals, and tools come together in AI
Start building agents that don’t just respond—they collaborate, adapt, and get things done.
