DevFest Singapore 2026: Prototyping from Scratch

About this event DevFest Singapore 2026 is back as Singapore’s flagship community-driven tech gathering, brought to you by GDG Singapore and GDG Cloud Singapore!

You don’t need years of AI engineering experience to build something real. This afternoon track is a hands-on, high-energy introduction to turning ideas into working software fast. Discover how to leverage modern AI developer tools, local models, and lightweight agents to take projects from blank canvas to functional app in record time.

Whether you’re a curious tinkerer, indie builder, student, or an experienced developer picking up AI tooling for the first time, you’ll watch live builds, see what’s truly possible, and leave with the confidence and toolkit to ship your own prototype.
