This Week in Los Angeles Tech Events

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. 👨🏽‍💻 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 MVPLearn how to move 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 CodeOpen ClawModern AI IDE workflows No fluff. No slide decks for hours.You build. 👥 Who This Is For Software engineersIndie hackersStartup foundersDesigners who want to shipVibe coders who want real structureNon-technical founders ready to build alongside AI Whether you’re advanced or just starting, you’ll leave with: A working buildA repeatable workflowA new mental model for development 🚀 What You Leave With A deployed project or validated prototypeA production-ready AI-native workflowA structured playbook you can reuseAccess to the AINative builder ecosystem AI Native Camp is where we team engineers and vibe coders to practice the best operational patterns for AI-native product development. If you’re serious about building in the AI era — this is where you level up. See you at AI Native Camp ⚡

Welcome to 2026 — we’re building, not debating. Vibe Coding Camp is a hands-on, hybrid build session for developers, founders, indie hackers, designers, and AI-curious builders who want to explore modern AI-native workflows across the entire AI Builder ecosystem — not just one tool. This is where you experiment with the best AI coding environments available today and learn how to build faster using structured AI pair programming. 🧠 What Is Vibe Coding? Vibe Coding is: Rapid AI pair programmingPrompt-first iterationReal-time architecture thinkingBuilding before over-planningShipping small → testing → improving It’s creative, technical, and slightly chaotic — but grounded in real workflows. 🛠 What You’ll Build With This camp is tool-agnostic by design. You’ll experiment with: 🔥 AI IDEs & Coding Agents Windsurf IDECursorKiroAntiGravityTraeClaude CodeGoogle CLIAINative IDE (Open Source) We’ll compare workflows, prompting styles, and system design approaches across these environments. 🧱 AI Infrastructure & Dev Stack ZeroDB — vector memory, embeddings, event storageAIKit — production-ready AI UI componentsAINative APIsAINative Code (Open Source CLI)Multi-agent workflowsLocal + cloud Model deployment setupsOpenClaw — peer-to-peer AI agent runtime OpenClaw will be introduced as an experimental layer for: Running agents locallyPeer-to-peer coordinationDistributed AI collaborationExploring private AI networks We’ll explore what happens when your AI workflows aren’t just local or cloud — but decentralized. This session is about understanding: How do these tools actually fit together in a real AI-native build process? 🛠️ What We’ll Do (Live) You’ll: Build a small AI-native app from scratchCompare AI coding workflows across multiple IDEsUse ZeroDB for memory + embeddingsWire UI using AIKitExperiment with different prompting patternsTest structured vs. unstructured AI pair programmingDeploy or locally run your prototypeExperiment with OpenClaw agent nodes You can: Follow the guided buildOr bring your own project and vibe-code it live Mentors will float between teams helping refine architecture and workflows. 🎯 What You’ll Leave With A working AI-native project (or validated prototype)Experience using multiple AI IDEsA mental model for tool selection in 2026A repeatable workflow for AI pair programmingClarity on when to use which platformRules for your IDE or CLI Coding toolSkills for AINative, Claude Code, Open Claw This is about learning how to think — not just copy commands. 🕘 Schedule (Pacific Time) 9:00 – 10:30 PMIntro + ecosystem overviewWhat’s new across the AI IDE landscape 10:30 PM – 12:30 PMGuided build sessionIDE comparison + ZeroDB + AIKit wiring 12:30 – 1:00 PMBreak / informal networking 1:00 – 3:30 PMOpen build + experimentationBring your own idea or extend the starter app 3:30 – 5:00 PMShow & tell + next steps 🚀 Who This Is For Engineers exploring AI-first workflowsFounders building MVPs fastVibe coders who want structureBuilders curious about Cursor vs Windsurf vs Claude Code vs AINative IDEAnyone who wants to stop reading about AI and start building with it No gatekeeping. No tribalism.We’re here to build. 🧰 Bring Anything That Makes You Better 🖥️ Laptop + charger🎧 Headphones🍫 Snacks🧦 Hoodie💡 Your weirdest ideas Vibe Coding Camp is where we test the future of development in real time.
