From Prototype to Production: Ready for Customers (w/ Baseline and The AI Collective)

SEP28
18:30 · Europe / Dublin

About this event

Tools like Lovable have made it possible for a non-technical founder to ship a working prototype in a night. Getting that prototype in front of paying customers, handling their data safely, and keeping it running when something breaks is a different problem.
Karen Forde, founder of Bridge the Gapp, spends her working week reviewing codebases that founders built with AI tools and no engineering team. She will walk through what she finds, what it costs to fix, and the handful of decisions you can make early that keep a prototype on a path to production.
Hosted by The AI Collective's Dublin chapter and Baseline, this is the follow-on to Pilots & Prototypes. If you built something at Part 1, bring it. If you didn't make Part 1, you're still welcome.
Who this is for:
Founders and operators who have built a prototype with AI tools and are wondering what comes next, along with anyone about to sell, pilot, or raise on something they built themselves. No engineering background needed!
Schedule:
6:00 p.m. - Doors open and networking
6:30 p.m. - Event kick off, session led by Karen Forde
7:15 p.m. - Q&A with Karen and non-technical founder
7:30 p.m. - Build time!
8:30 p.m. - Demos and sharing
9:00 p.m. - Close
What to bring:
A laptop and your prototype, if you have one. Questions about your own build are welcome in the clinic.
About the speaker:
Karen Forde is the founder of Bridge the Gapp, a software consultancy working with early-stage founders on code and architecture review, technical direction, and moving AI-built products towards production.

Dublin | Supabase × iru x Claude Community Meetup

Hen's Teeth Dublin, Dublin 8, Ireland
In person

Join us for an evening with Dublin’s builder community, brought to you by Supabase, Claude Community and Iru. This one is for people who are actively building. Whether you’re deep into Supabase, experimenting with Claude Code, or shipping scripts to a fleet of devices and hoping for the best, you’ll fit right in. The theme: ship it like a dev. AI has changed who gets to write code. Developers already use it for everything from code generation to security reviews to weekend prototypes, and IT and Security teams have the same opportunity. Too often, though, a script gets written, it runs, and it goes out to thousands of devices with no review at all. Tonight we look at bringing the developer mindset to all of it: review it, test it, then ship it. We kick off with lightning talks, three speakers, thirty minutes each, across a range of experience levels and no filler. Then the workshop: thirty minutes, laptops open, one challenge. Build the most complicated thing you can with Claude Code before the clock runs out. Speakers include: Kevin Collins: Claude Code Community ambassador representing Claude Code and Anthropic Pedro Rodrigues: AI Tooling Engineer at Supabase Ryan Slater: Principal Solutions Architect at Iru Run of Show: 6:00pm: Arrive. Grab a soft drink and some food, find a seat, say hello. 6:30pm: Lightning talks. Three speakers, 30 minutes each, varying levels of experience, no filler. 8:00pm: Workshop. 30 minutes to build the most complicated thing you can with Claude Code. 8:30pm: Networking. Stick around, swap notes, keep the conversation going.
