Welcome to Build with TRAE & Z.ai @ San Diego. Today, we move past the era of manual syntax and into the era of "Vibe Coding." Our goal is simple: To close the gap between your imagination and a working product. By the end of this workshop, you won’t just have explored new AI tools — you’ll have used TRAE and Z.ai to turn a "what if" into a tangible prototype. Whether you’re here to solve a real-world problem or to push the boundaries of AI-powered development, you’re in the right place to build the future.
Let’s stop dreaming and start shipping!
