AI-Powered Weekend: Beginners Build Apps in Minutes

A Business Insider reporter attends a two-morning vibe-coding workshop in Singapore to learn how AI can let non-technical people prototype apps quickly; the five lessons are: build multiple apps rather than fixating on one, design around real users, learn by making and debugging, start with a strong planning prompt before coding, and mix and match tools and models for speed; the personal trainer app was created in about an hour, demonstrating how structure, guardrails, and prompt-driven workflows help beginners ship quickly.
