From Prompt to Product – Building Apps with AI Coding Agents

A full-day hands-on workshop with Ingo Eichhorst (IONOS) exploring how AI is changing software development in practice.

Move beyond the chatbot and start building.

On May 8, 2026****, as part of our month-long**** mAI ist für AI series, 42 Berlin is hosting an intensive full-day workshop focused on the practical use of Artificial Intelligence in software development.

In this workshop, we will use modern AI coding tools to build small applications from idea to working result within just a few hours.

After a compact introduction to the current state of programming with AI, we will move straight into practice: setting up the tools, working with OpenCode and a coding LLM, and developing our first applications step by step in the browser.

The workshop is hands-on, beginner-friendly, and at the same time gives participants a practical understanding of how AI can already be integrated into real development workflows today.

The Agenda
