Live Master Class: A Non-Technical Guide to Vibe Coding with Brian Brinkman

Written by Jeremy Zimmer | Jul 17, 2026 12:59:55 PM

What if you could build custom marketing and sales tools without writing a single line of code? That is the promise of vibe coding, an emerging approach that uses AI to turn natural-language instructions into working software. Join AI Academy on July 28, 2026, from 12:00 to 1:00 p.m. ET for a Live Master Class: A Non-Technical Guide to Vibe Coding, with Brian Brinkman. During this live virtual session, you will discover how non-technical professionals can use AI to build practical business applications, automate repetitive work, and bring new ideas to life faster.

For years, creating custom software meant relying on developers, learning programming languages, or investing in expensive platforms. AI coding tools are changing that equation. By describing what you want in plain language, you can rapidly prototype calculators, dashboards, lead-generation tools, internal productivity applications, automations, landing pages, and customer experiences that solve real business problems.

During this beginner-to-intermediate master class, Brian Brinkman will explain what vibe coding is, why it represents a major shift in software development, and how marketers, sales professionals, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and consultants can begin using it. Through practical demonstrations and real-world examples, you will see how AI can transform a business idea into working software without requiring a traditional technical background.

The 60-minute session will include a 45-minute presentation followed by 15 minutes of live Q&A. You will watch a business application being created live, learn prompting techniques that can improve application quality, and explore which AI coding platforms are best suited for different skill levels and use cases.

You will also learn how to approach AI-assisted development responsibly. Brian will address important considerations related to security, privacy, ownership, company data, application costs, and the limitations of AI-generated software. The goal is not simply to help you build faster, but to help you make informed decisions about what to build, which tools to use, and how to manage risk.
