This intensive 4-hour AI vibe coding workshop brought together 50 developers, founders, researchers, and business professionals at Marriott Tang Plaza Hotel on May 26.

Using Manus AI, participants formed teams and built 19 diverse AI productivity tools within 90-minute sprints, ranging from financial optimizers to personal assistants and creative generators. Highlights included a 9-year-old creating a diary generator, a group of creative developers building adaptations for fortune telling, and interview simulation tools.

The energy was infectious—participants were already exchanging contacts and asking "When's the next one?" before they'd even packed up their laptops. The genuine excitement was palpable, with participants eagerly exchanging ideas for future collaborations and asking when they could do this again.
