Vibe Coding for Non-Tech Staff: Build AI Tools Without Code

1. Introduction

• What “vibe coding” is (describe → generate → test → refine)
• Why non-tech staff can do this
• Real workplace examples
• Workshop goals & expectations
• Tools introduction: Microsoft Copilot Studio, Replit, Poe, Claude Code, Cursor, etc.

2. Foundations of Vibe Coding

• The 4-step Vibe Loop
• Prompt structure:
• o Context: Provide the background information.
• o Goal: State exactly what you want the AI to achieve.
• o Constraints: List the “rules” of the task.
• o Output: Define the format of the result.
• Examples of good vs vague prompts
• Quick prompt rewrite exercise

3. Live Demo: Build a Tool

• Build a simple internal web tool live
• Showing: Initial prompt, Running the tool, Iterating with improvements
• Add step-by-step features
• Demonstrate fixing errors with AI

4. Hands-On Exercise #1

• Participants build a small tool:
• o Tracker: stock tracker
• o Dashboard: visualization of a uploaded file
• o Generator: generate PDF files
• o Internal utility: sales forecast, break even analysis, cost calculators etc.
• Generate → test → improve
• Brief share-back

5. Workplace Use Cases

• HR examples: application tracing system
• Marketing examples: customer service AI agent
• Finance examples: stock trading strategies
• Operations examples: office automation

6. Prompting Like a Pro

• How to improve design & usability
• Asking AI to critique its own output
• Adding features incrementally
• Improving clarity & specificity
• Upgrade earlier tool exercise

7. Risk, Security & Boundaries

• Data privacy basics
• Avoiding confidential data exposure
• Testing AI output
• When to involve IT
• Safe internal deployment practices
