What 'vibe coding' actually is

Vibe coding is the working term for AI-assisted software development where the human directs the AI in plain English and the AI writes the code. The human's job is to know what to ask for and to recognise whether the result works. The AI's job is to type. It started as a meme in early 2025. By 2026, it's how a meaningful share of internal-tool software gets built. Read Vibe Coding for SMEs: Build Apps Without Engineers for the longer version of why this matters. Our workshop teaches you to do this confidently in one day.

What you actually learn

Five things, in this order: 1. The shape of a good prompt. Specify the goal, the deliverable, the constraints. Don't specify the implementation — let the model pick. Practice on three real problems from your business. 2. Claude Code installation and first-run. We get Claude Code installed on your machine, run a "hello world" task, and you see the loop: prompt → AI works → result → refine → ship. 3. PDPA-safe patterns. Real Singapore context — what to redact, when to use enterprise tiers, where to use on-device. Reference: PDPA Prompting Checklist. 4. Your first internal tool. You pick a real problem ("I waste 3 hours a week on X"). We build it together — usually in 60–90 minutes. You leave with a working tool deployed to a real URL. 5. The next 3 builds. A planning session: what's the next problem, the one after that, the one after that. You leave with a 30-day roadmap.

What people actually ship

Across the workshops we've run for SG law firms, accounting practices, and SME teams, the most common workshop-day shipments: - Customer inquiry triage (most popular for service businesses) — see the recipe. - Invoice chaser (most popular for B2B SMEs). - Document summariser (most popular for legal teams). - Board report generator (most popular for CFOs and finance leads) — see Spreadsheet to Board Report. - CV screener (most popular for HR and recruiters) — see AI Hiring for SMEs. By the end of the workshop, every participant has shipped at least one. Most ship two.

Who comes

The workshops attract a few archetypes. SME founders wanting to stop being the bottleneck on internal tools. They leave with a tool that gives them back 5+ hours a week. Law firm partners evaluating AI for their practice. They leave understanding what's possible vs. what's hype, plus a working contract-extraction tool. Senior accountants and audit managers facing the same partner pressure. They leave with workpaper-review automation and a clear sense of what to deploy across the team. HR leads and recruiters drowning in CVs. They leave with a screening pipeline and a JD generator. The mix matters less than the willingness to spend 6 hours focused on building. Almost everyone who attends ships something useful that week.

Format options

Half-day (3.5 hours): introduction + one shared build. Best for teams of 5–10 who want to taste the methodology and decide what to invest in next. From S$3,500. Full-day (7 hours): introduction + 3 builds + deployment + roadmap. Best for teams of 8–15 who want to ship multiple tools and leave with momentum. From S$5,500. Two-day deep: custom format for larger firms. Day 1 = workshop (above). Day 2 = each team member ships their own tool with hands-on coaching. From S$10,000 for up to 15 attendees. All formats include: 30 days of post-workshop async support via email, a private prompt library document, and one follow-up office hour.

Where the workshop happens

On-site in your office (most common — saves your team's commute time and pairs naturally with their actual data and workflows). Or at an OTG-arranged venue in central Singapore. For Singapore law firms specifically: many partners prefer the workshop run within the firm so partners and associates attend together. We've structured this for several firms — the cross-level discussion of which workflows to automate is itself valuable.

Next steps

Most workshops are scoped over a 30-minute call. We'll discuss your team's experience level, the sectors you serve, and the specific problems you'd want to ship solutions for.

For a one-off founder or partner who wants to learn alone (not a team workshop), The Singapore Prompt Library and Claude Code in Singapore: A Non-Developer's First-Week Guide are the best place to start.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any technical background?

No. The workshop is designed for non-developers — SME founders, lawyers, accountants, ops leads. The only prerequisite is willingness to type instructions to Claude in plain English.

What will I leave with?

A working tool you built (most participants ship a CRM, an inbox triage, or a report generator). Plus a personal Claude prompt library, an installed Claude Code setup, and clarity on your next 3 builds.

How long is the workshop?

Two formats: half-day (introduction + one build) for teams of 5–10, or full-day (introduction + 3 builds + deployment) for teams of up to 15. We can also run multi-day formats for larger firms.

What does it cost?

Half-day: from S$3,500 for up to 10 attendees. Full-day: from S$5,500 for up to 15 attendees. On-site in your office or at an OTG-arranged venue. [Book a call](/contact) for custom-format pricing.

Is the workshop PSG-eligible?

Workshops as standalone offerings are not pre-approved PSG vendor solutions. Workshops bundled into a defined digital-transformation engagement may be subject to scheme eligibility and Enterprise Singapore approval. See [Grants & Compliance](/grants).
