Built by Lunch

AI workshops in London, for people who aren't technical

Four hours, six people, one big table in a home on Portobello Road. Arrive with a laptop and no experience. Leave with a working app or assistant that you built yourself.

How the morning works

  • 9am to 1pm, six people, a home on Portobello Road. Coffee from the kitchen behind you, not a paper cup on a conference table.
  • You leave with a working app or assistant that you built. Not notes, not a reading list. A thing that runs.
  • No coding required. Most people arrive already using AI, usually just chat. This is the step past it.
  • What to bring: a laptop and a problem you actually have.
  • Price: founding seats are £95, rising to £120.

What people have built here

Agents for a charity. An app for yoga rehabilitation. A proof of concept someone took back into work.

Every one of those was built in a morning by somebody who arrived saying they were not technical.

Which morning is which

Some Built by Lunch mornings are open to everyone and some are women only. The Luma listing says which, on every date.

The build itself changes too. Some mornings you build your first app, some you build an AI email assistant, some a social assistant. Same format, same six seats, same promise that it works by 1pm.

Not a group person?

Two hours one to one, on your own problem, is 1:1 AI training in London. Want to work alongside people rather than be taught? That is a coworking morning.
