⚡ 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 collaboratorStructuring prompts like architectureTreating LLMs as pair programmersBuilding faster without sacrificing rigorValidating 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 introsRapid-fire idea pitchesTeam 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 usersTest assumptions with real feedback

Methods include:

Lean Startup MachineCustomer discovery interviewsGoogle 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 A2UIAINative APIsZeroDB (memory + backend + vectors)Claude Code / Claude CoworkGoogle CLIOllama (local models)Agent SwarmsOpenClawAINative 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 timeCreate a PRD (Product Requirements Doc)Define your data modelBuild using structured prompting + agents

Core AINative principles:

Deterministic instructions for agentsStructured prompts = architectureTDD + BDD workflowsMemory-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 productShow what you learned from usersDemo your working prototype

🏆 Focus:

ValidationExecutionClarity of idea

👨🏽‍💻 What You’ll Do

Throughout the day, you will:

Pair program with AI in real timePractice structured prompting for production systemsBuild and deploy a functional MVPMove from idea → validation → working product in hoursApply best practices for AI-native architecture

We teach:

AI pair programming workflowsRapid validation frameworksGenAI-assisted product designPractical implementation patternsHow to avoid common AI dev pitfalls

🔧 Tools You’ll Work With

Participants will gain hands-on experience using AINative tools including:

AIKitAIKit A2UIAINative APIsZeroDBAgent SwarmsClaude CodeOpenClawModern AI IDE workflows

No fluff. No slide decks for hours.You build.
