Thinking About Hosting a Custom GPT + VIBECODING Workshop… Would You Want This?

Workshop

So I’ve been tossing around an idea — part experiment, part hangout — where we spend a couple hours together learning how to vibe-code our own custom GPTs and web apps.


Picture this: laptops open, coffee in hand, me walking you step-by-step through how to take an idea and turn it into something real — something that actually runs on the internet before you leave the room.


No coding degree. No dev team. No five-figure contracts. Just you, a laptop, and a couple hours to bring an idea to life.


That’s what I call VIBECODING.


It’s not coding in the traditional sense — it’s more like building at the speed of thought. You describe what you want, and AI handles the syntax, logic, and layout. You guide the vibe — the purpose, the personality, the experience — and together, you and AI build the thing.


I’ve been using this exact approach for everything from Wi-Fi coffee monitors and Bluetooth macro keyboards to full-blown CRM platforms and pocket-sized servers that broadcast interactive business cards.Every one of those started the same way:

“What if I could build this?”

And a few hours later — thanks to AI — it was live.

That’s the energy behind this workshop.



Now, the big question is how to do it. Do we want to make this an in-person session — maybe here locally at the Moose Lodge in Tamarack — or should we do it online, like a private live build-along where everyone codes (well… vibe-codes) together from their own setup?


Either way, it’ll be a hands-on, guided build. You’ll walk away with your own custom GPT and a working app you built yourself — something you could actually show, use, and build on afterward.


I’ve already started getting questions about it — which tells me this might actually need to happen. And get this: just a few hours after I drafted the first version of this post, a buddy of mine texted me photos from a presentation he was sitting in… and they were literally telling a room full of older folks that they need to learn to vibe-code. You can’t make this stuff up.


So yeah, apparently this is in the air right now.

I haven’t even figured out what to charge for it yet — I genuinely don’t know what’s fair. I’ve seen similar workshops going for a few hundred (even over a thousand) an hour, but I want to keep this super practical and accessible.


So I’m curious: Would you want to join something like this?And if so, what would feel like a fair price point for something that could literally change the way you build and create?


Let me know what you think — because if there’s enough interest, we’ll make it happen.
