From Ideas to Launch with AI: Real Results from SheAI's Vibe Coding Event 

Girl, we know. Building a software product can sound a little intimidating. Especially if you feel like you're already juggling a thousand things every day. Developing software used to involve knowing how to code, being tech-savvy, or spending months learning before you can create anything real. 

That's not the case anymore. With the rise of AI, one of the fields that has been transformed the most is actually web development. AI can now write complex code in seconds, meaning the person behind the machine simply needs a very solid idea and code it by vibing, a.k.a., going by vibes and feeling what works well and what doesn't. 

The term vibe coding was coined by Andrej Karpathy in 2025 and refers to the practice of building software by using natural language to prompt a large language model (or LLM), which then, in turn, generates code that reflects your prompt. You can then go back and forward, communicating with the LLM, adding features, sections, changing the copy, etc., until you get your desired product. 

In this article, we'll introduce you to the world of vibe coding and share with you a step-by-step resource that we built to help you win. Then we'll go into our specific 3-day vibe coding event, taking a deeper look at how women are building incredible solutions and establishing businesses with this method.

The Vibe Coding Method 

So how can complete beginners build and deploy products in a matter of days? Introducing Vibe-Creation,  a revolutionary approach to development where LLMs like Claude, Gemini, Loveable, Replit, Cursor, and v0 meet human intuition. Instead of getting lost in technical jargon or intimidated by code, you simply need to learn how to describe well what exactly you want, or in other words, create a strong prompt. AI will then transform these products and their features into functional web applications. 

At SheAI, the vibe coding framework consists of three core pillars:

• Vibe Designing — Creating visual and interactive elements that resonate with users. Colors, layouts, typography, and micro-interactions that create an intuitive, engaging experience.
• Vibe Coding — Building the functionality that delivers on your product's promise. Fast responses, smooth interactions, and reliable performance that build user confidence.
• Vibe Writing — Crafting language that communicates your product's personality. From welcome messages to error notifications, every word shapes how users experience your product.

The Vibe Coding Roadmap

We turned the entire launch process, from stabilizing your prototype to deploying, testing, and growing, into a free Product Launch Roadmap you can download now and use at your own pace. It covers all steps with checklists, hosting options, database recommendations, and a post-launch strategy built specifically for AI-built products. 

Common Mistakes When Vibe Coding Your First Product

Here are some barriers that consistently slow down new builders:

• Trying to make everything perfect before launching (it'll never be perfect)
• Adding 10 features at once instead of nailing one core thing and then adding on slowly, as needs arise
• Redesigning the UI (or the look and the feel  for days instead of shipping
• Getting stuck on tiny details rather than getting real user feedback

Our mantra became: Focus on 1 core feature + real users + fast iteration. 

The second thing that we keep telling our vibe coders is the power of building in public. We're all a little bit risk-averse and are hesitant to make something public that doesn't feel like it's perfect yet. However, building in public is super empowering.

First of all, you get direct feedback from the people who know and love you. Secondly, people can join your journey and feel like they're a part of it, making them long-term supporters. And thirdly, it helps your social media storytelling, helps you connect with fellow builders, and can be instrumental to your crowdfunding campaigns in the future. 

The AI Vibe Coding Event

Back in December 2025, we hosted our first 3-day Vibe Coding Buildathon and helped participants take their ideas from concept to live deployment in just three days. No coding experience required. Just real women learning how to build products from scratch.

In just 3 days, we went from an idea to launch

Over 50 participants, mostly women in tech and aspiring AI entrepreneurs, but also some men who support women, showed up ready to learn, create, and launch by simply leveraging an AI agent for software development. Women supporting women, ideas flowing, generating codes, and learning from each other's hickups. And by the end of the three days, the participants deployed real apps. But we didn't stop there. We want to see our participants win, and so we decided to offer prizes to the winners. The third place got one month, the second place three months, and the first place received 6 months of SheAI mentorship and free access to all of our courses and other educational materials.

This is the story of how we turned amazing women with ideas into vibe coders and how three incredible women rose to the top with products that solve real-world problems.

Meet Our Buildathon Winners and Other Participants 

After days of building, testing, and presenting, we had the difficult task of choosing the winners of the 3-day Vibe Coding event. Our evaluation criteria involved innovation, differentiation, and how advanced the project has become - indicating the investment of the founder. Here's what the winners had to say:

Third Place: Druga by Fatiha Mostafa Roja

Prize: 1 month free SheAI Platform access + Mentorship

 "What stood out to me about the Buildathon was how accessible it felt from day one. As a beginner, I came in with ideas but no clear path forward, and left with a working prototype and a process I can actually repeat. It wasn't about building the perfect product; it was about building something meaningful to you. The material was excellent, and the energy in that space was contagious." 

Second Place: Wealthy Cora by Foix Coral Mallofré

Prize: 3 months free SheAI Platform access + Mentorship

"Got such a wonderful learning experience with SheAI Vibe Coding Buildathon 3-day course. 100% recommend this community!"

— Foix Coral Mallofré 

First Place: Artfully Create by Tomar Beh

Prize: 6 months free SheAI Platform access + Mentorship

"Thank you, SheAI, for the incredible opportunity to learn so much during the 3 days. For the first time, I really got hands-on with the backend, connecting a database, creating a sign-in flow, and understanding how the logic behind the scenes actually works. I still don't know how I did it, but I did and it was fun, meaningful, and I always loved being a part of it. Thank you for the opportunity. I am looking forward to learning more. We all really appreciate your work and the opportunity you give to women."

— Tomar Beh

And the other participants had plenty to say too:

Joanna Wake, who joined us for the vibe coding event and has now become SheAI UK Brand Ambassador, says: "I was so impressed with it and how fast we progressed. I am planning to do as much learning as possible over the next month or so, and SheAI courses will be my go-to! I've got 15 years as a skills leader in the UK, so I am genuinely impressed with the offer you have and the movement you are all creating."

Marta López Pérez noted: "Learning new skills even when they are pretty far from your baseline knowledge is key for growth. Thank you, SheAI team and community, for helping us to stay tuned." Janet Greco transformed her idea of building a media industry-focused matchmaking app in just 3 evenings of her time and added, "I have to say it was pretty challenging, and there were moments I wondered why anyone would want to become a software engineer. But the experience unpacked a lot, and it was truly worth the effort! Thanks to SheAI for this amazing experience!"

These are the beginning of businesses, solutions, and careers. And honestly? Every single participant who showed up and shipped something deserves recognition. The courage to go from "I have an idea" to "Here's my live product" in three days is no small feat.

The Real Results: More Than Live Tools

By the end of three days, every single participant had:

• A live product
• Real user feedback
• A 3-week growth roadmap that they were able to use after the event
• The confidence to keep building and embrace exponentials
• A community of fellow builders
• Proof that they can actually do this

The biggest transformation wasn't the products themselves; it was the mindset shift as our winners made clear with their own words. Watching participants evolve from "I could never build that" to "I just built that" is what SheAI is all about.

Building a Community of Women Who Code with AI

The Vibe Coding Event wasn't just about learning a new skill; it was also about building a supportive community of women entrepreneurs and creators who cheer each other on, share learnings, and grow together in a space specifically designed for them.

Participants left with:

• Access to our ongoing community for troubleshooting and collaboration.
• Resources on monetization strategies.
• Connections to potential collaborators, designers, marketers, and early co-founders.
• The understanding that their first product isn't their final product; it's a launchpad.

Why AI Education and Accessible Tech Training Matters

We believe AI is democratizing product development in ways we've never seen before. With AI tools and no-code platforms, the barrier to entry for tech entrepreneurship has never been lower. But tools are only part of the equation.

What builders really need is:

• Clear guidance on what actually matters
• A supportive community that celebrates wins and helps debug failures
• Permission to ship imperfectly and iterate based on real feedback
• Practical roadmaps that cut through the noise

That's exactly what our Buildathon Vibe Coding Event delivered. And we're just getting started.
