Vibe Coding

Vibe Coding for Business may be one of the most transformative courses you take in your career. Artificial intelligence is no longer a speculative technology – it is a permanent shift in how organizations operate and create value. Productivity gains from AI are already substantial for many organizations, and are projected to accelerate significantly over the next decade.

A new approach known as vibe coding – enabled by new AI-powdered coding tools such as Cursor, Bolt, and Lovable – has led to a 2-3x increase in the effectiveness of many engineering and product teams. More importantly, vibe coding has opened the door for non-engineers to build working software with little to no coding backgrounds. Suddenly, what used to take a full team and weeks of effort can now be accomplished by a single person and an AI assistant in a matter of hours, drastically reducing the cost and time for product development and experimentation.

In this class, students will learn how to design, build, and deploy lightweight software products using AI coding tools (e.g. Cursor, Lovable, Replit, Bolt, v0). You will practice structured workflows and learn best practices for debugging and iteration, reason through simple systems architectures, evaluate tools critically, and deploy real working applications with speed, reliability, and risk in mind.

This course runs like a product studio: structured tool explorations, weekly build sprints, and a public demo day. It bridges the gap between strategy courses and technical electives (e.g. Python and SQL) by giving business leaders hands-on experience in AI-assisted product creation.
