Who is this for?
AI-powered software creation is transforming how modern apps are built, from MVPs and internal tools to full production-ready platforms. Tools like Lovable allow anyone to build functional apps in minutes using natural language, without needing a traditional engineering background.
This workshop is for students, founders, product designers, developers, and anyone interested in learning how to build real applications using AI, whether for prototyping, automation or startup ideas.
Who is leading the session?
The session is led by Dr. Stelios Sotiriadis, CEO of Warestack, Associate Professor and MSc Programme Director at Birkbeck, University of London. His expertise includes cloud computing, distributed systems, data engineering, and AI engineering.
Stelios holds a PhD from the University of Derby, completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto, and has worked with Huawei, IBM, Autodesk, and several startups. Since 2018 he has taught at Birkbeck, Boston University and Notre Dame University and in 2021, co-founded Warestack.
What we’ll cover?
This workshop is proudly sponsored by Lovable, whose support provides participants with credits for hands-on access to the Lovable platform, enabling them to build, experiment, and deploy AI-powered applications during the session.
A hands-on introduction to building fully functional applications using GenAI tools.
You will learn:
- How AI-assisted app development works
- Turning a prompt into a complete web application
- Designing user interfaces with AI
- Auto-generating databases, APIs, and authentication
- Editing and improving app functionality using conversational updates
- Adding forms, dashboards, data tables, workflows, and logic
- Deploying and sharing your app instantly
- Best practices for iterating and refining with AI
By the end of the session, you will have built your own AI-generated application.
Requirements
A laptop with Python (Windows, macOS, or Linux). A free Lovable account
Optional: GitHub account (for exporting your app)
If you don’t have a suitable laptop, you may use the lab computers.
Why Lovable?
Lovable is one of the fastest-growing AI development platforms, used by founders, agencies, and teams to build software dramatically faster than traditional coding.
Format
A 2-hour live session including:
- Interactive theory
- Hands-on app-building exercises
- Real-time app creation
