Robots & Coffee workshop · Batch 1 · Aug 22 to 23, 2026 · Novel Hotel BGC
Two build days. Every founder shipped.
Two build days in BGC with Gwen Ayala and Jamz Jamorol. Day one every founder built an AI employee for their own business and put it live on the internet. Day two they gave it a UI system of their own and published again.
Batch 1 recap film · the room, Day 1
Two days, in five slides.
Day 1
Building an AI employee.
Claude Code set up on every founder's own machine, Mac and Windows, walked through live. Shipped live with a public link before the session ended.
Day 2
Your own UI system.
Each system written down as a DESIGN.md file the AI must follow on every page, then applied to Day 1's tool and published again.
Every
builder shipped a live link before Day 1 ended.
Gwen and Jamz on the floor the whole time, with a floor team at the tables.
5
booths in the room.
Biyahe Ko, Gencys Group, Prime, Valenin Technologies and Kraftina had booths in the room across the two days.
What they shipped
Built after the room.
What Batch 1 founders shipped in the weeks after, as they posted it in the batch group. Phone clips of their own screens, no retakes.
"Literally 20 hours akong nasa Claude, 4 hours sleep. Dami ko na-build. Mga blockers namin sa agency, isa-isa na naming nagawan ng solution, thanks to what you taught us during the workshop."
"Mas nakita ng dalawang mata ko kung paano ko magagamit ang AI to become more effective and efficient sa daily business operations ng client ko, by building systems and AI employees around the business."
"Nakagawa na ng improvised headquarters, pinaghirapan, tsaka own website gamit si COO."
What this was
Most founders had used AI to write a message or summarize a document. Few had used it to build and ship a real tool: something with a live link, running on their own laptop, doing a job.
This room closed that gap in two days. Every founder left with software they built themselves, deployed, and theirs.
None of it replaced a team. It took the repetitive work off the team's plate: the same reply forty times, the message at 11pm.
The record
- Two build days, Aug 22 and 23, 2026, at Novel Hotel BGC
- Gwen and Jamz on the floor the whole time, with a floor team at the tables
- Sponsor booths lining the room both days
- Every builder shipped a live link before Day 1 ended
Day 1
Building an AI employee
- The difference between a tool and an employee: a job, instructions, tools, and a place to work
- Claude Code set up on every founder's own machine, Mac and Windows, walked through live
- A build prompt written for each business: what it sells, who buys it, what the tool should do
- A single-page tool built, no setup and no accounts for the person using it
- Shipped live with a public link before the session ended
Day 2
Your own UI system
- Why every AI-built page looks AI-made: same fonts, same gradients, same cards
- What a UI system actually is: fonts, colors, spacing, and rules you never break
- The JTL AgentKit installed inside Claude Code, two commands
- Each system written down as a DESIGN.md file the AI must follow on every page
- Applied to Day 1's tool, judged by the reviewer agent against the founder's own rules, and published again
