⚡ AI Native Camp - Santa Cruz & Online

🧠 AI Native Camp A 1-Day Hands-On Intensive in AI Pair Programming AI Native Camp is a fast-paced, immersive workshop where engineers, founders, and vibe coders learn how to build software the AI-native way. This is not a lecture. This is not theory. This is live building, live pairing, and real shipping. 🧠 What Is AI-Native Development? AI-native development means: Designing systems with AI as a collaborator Structuring prompts like architecture Treating LLMs as pair programmers Building faster without sacrificing rigor Validating before overbuilding You won’t just “use AI.” You’ll learn how to engineer with it. ⏱️ Full-Day Schedule 9:00 – 10:00 AM → Intros + Idea Pitches Participant intros Rapid-fire idea pitches Team formation (or solo builders) Define your “How Might We” (HMW) problem 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM → Validation Sprint Validate before you build. Get out of the building (or online) Talk to real users Test assumptions with real feedback Methods include: Lean Startup Machine Customer discovery interviews Google Sprint (Jake Knapp) validation techniques 12:00 – 1:00 PM → Lunch Break Recharge, connect, refine your idea. 1:00 – 2:00 PM → AINative Tools + Workflow Overview Learn how to build 10x faster with AI-native tools: AIKit + AIKit A2UI AINative APIs ZeroDB (memory + backend + vectors) Claude Code / Claude Cowork Google CLI Ollama (local models) Agent Swarms OpenClaw AINative IDE ⚡ Focus: turning ideas into working systems — fast 2:00 – 4:00 PM → Build Sprint (AI Pair Programming) Now you ship. You’ll: Pair program with AI in real time Create a PRD (Product Requirements Doc) Define your data model Build using structured prompting + agents Core AINative principles: Deterministic instructions for agents Structured prompts = architecture TDD + BDD workflows Memory-driven development (persistent context across tools) 4:00 – 5:00 PM → Demo + Pitch Session Present what you validated and built in 8 hours. Share your product Show what you learned from users Demo your working prototype 🏆 Focus: Validation Execution Clarity of idea 👨🏽‍💻 What You’ll Do Throughout the day, you will: Pair program with AI in real time Practice structured prompting for production systems Build and deploy a functional MVP Move from idea → validation → working product in hours Apply best practices for AI-native architecture We teach: AI pair programming workflows Rapid validation frameworks GenAI-assisted product design Practical implementation patterns How to avoid common AI dev pitfalls 🔧 Tools You’ll Work With Participants will gain hands-on experience using AINative tools including: AIKit AIKit A2UI AINative APIs ZeroDB Agent Swarms Claude Code OpenClaw Modern AI IDE workflows No fluff. No slide decks for hours. You build. 🎧 Prep + Continue Learning (Recommended) Want to get the most out of the camp — or go deeper after? 📘 Sprint — Jake Knapp Learn rapid validation, prototyping, and decision-making Core foundation for the validation sprint you’ll run during the workshop 📗 Exponential Organizations — Salim Ismail Understand how modern companies scale 10x faster, cheaper, and smarter Aligns with AI-native thinking and leverage 🎥 Moonshots (Peter Diamandis) Explore exponential thinking, innovation, and future-building Great mindset fuel before and after the camp 👉 Watch: https://www.youtube.com/@peterdiamandis 👥 Who This Is For Software engineers Indie hackers Startup founders Designers who want to ship Vibe coders who want real structure Non-technical founders ready to build alongside AI 🚀 What You Leave With A deployed project or validated prototype A production-ready AI-native workflow A structured playbook you can reuse Access to the AINative builder ecosystem AI Native Camp is where we team engineers and vibe coders to practice the best operational patterns for AI-native product development. If you’re serious about building in the AI era — this is where you level up. ⚡ See you at AI Native Camp ⚡ https://ainative.studio
