Build With AI

A hands-on workshop that takes you from prompt to product. Learn practical AI integration — prompting, API calls, and building an interface — and leave with a small working application you built yourself. Beginner-friendly. Bring a laptop and an idea you have been meaning to try.

What you'll learn

Six modules, start to finish

Each one builds on the last, so by the end the whole pipeline makes sense.

Module 01

AI fundamentals

How models work in practice — tokens, context, and what they are and aren't good at.

Module 02

Prompt engineering

Prompts that return what you need: system messages, structure, and constraints.

Module 03

API integration

Calling a model from your own code — keys, requests, streaming, and failures.

Module 04

Building the interface

Wrapping the model in a real UI with input, loading, and result states.

Module 05

Connecting the pieces

Wiring prompt, API, and interface into one flow that works end to end.

Module 06

Deploying the project

Environment variables, a deploy, and a live URL you can share the same day.

What you'll build

A small app that does something useful with a model

Not a toy — a real API call, a usable interface, and a deploy you can share.

const res = await ai.generate({
  system: "You are a concise study assistant.",
  prompt: userQuestion,
  schema: Answer,

return Response.json(res.object);

Explain gradient descent in two sentences.
Gradient descent nudges a model’s parameters toward less error, one small step at a time. Repeat until the error stops improving.

Why this workshop

Everything you need to ship

Hands-on the whole way

No lecture-only stretches. You are building from the first 20 minutes.

Made for beginners

If you have written some code, you have enough to keep up.

You leave with a deploy

A live URL for the app you built, not a certificate.

A builder community

Run by Alexa Developers SRM — students who like shipping things.

  3. 11:15

    Build

    Your first API call and the interface around it.

  4. 12:15

    Integrate

    Connect prompt, API, and UI into one working flow.

  5. 12:45

    Deploy

    Ship it and get a live URL.

  6. 13:00

    Wrap up

    Demos, next steps, and where to take it.

Who it's for

Come as you are

Come along if…

  • You've written some code and want to build with AI
  • You've never shipped anything that calls an API
  • You're building your first AI project
  • You learn by doing

Maybe not this one if…

  • You want a lecture with slides
  • You're after a deep dive on model internals
  • You've already shipped several AI apps
Student stories

What people say

Alexa Developers SRM is a student developer club at SRMIST that runs practical, build-first sessions.

“I came in having never called an API and left with a small app deployed. The pacing was right for a beginner.”
Sample student A2nd year, CSE
“Useful because it was all building. By the end the prompt-to-API-to-UI flow finally clicked.”
Sample student B3rd year, IT
“Good intro to shipping with a model. I kept working on the project after the session.”
Sample student C1st year, ECE

Sample feedback shown for the demo — not real attendees or quotes.
