    How the tutorial works

    Intro session (30 min)

    A guided walkthrough of Lovable: how to prompt, iterate, and go from an idea to a working app. Perfect if you've never touched AI-assisted coding before.

    Hands-on building (30 min)

    Start building your own project right away. Our mentors move around the room and help you 1:1 whenever you get stuck.

    Ready for the hackathon

    After the tutorial you'll know the tools, have a running first app, and are fully warmed up for the Vibe Code Fest hackathon that follows.

    What you can build with vibe coding

    With Lovable, anyone can build real, working apps in natural language. A few examples of what you could create:

    Internal team dashboard

    See projects, tasks, and numbers in one place — instead of five spreadsheets and a group chat.

    Customer onboarding portal

    Give new customers a guided self-service space with checklists, documents, and status updates.

    Invoice & expense automation

    Upload a receipt, have it categorised and totalled for you — no more manual bookkeeping.

    Habit tracker with streaks

    Keep yourself accountable with daily streaks, reminders, and a progress chart you actually enjoy.

    Personal budget planner

    Track income and spending, set savings goals, and see where your money really goes.

    Recipe & meal-sharing community

    Share recipes with friends or your club, rate them, and plan the week's meals together.

    CRM tools, booking systems, calculators, onboarding flows — if you can describe it, you can build it.

    No idea yet? Generate app ideas

    Describe your interests and get AI-generated app ideas you can bring to the tutorial (in German).

    What you need

    • A laptop or computer
    • A Lovable account (we provide free credits)
    • Curiosity and a rough idea — no programming experience required

    No programming experience needed — just curiosity and ambition. Everything you build is entirely yours.

    Warm up, then hack.

    The tutorial is the perfect preparation for the Vibe Code Fest hackathon afterwards — bring your idea and leave with a working app.
