She Entered an AI Hackathon With No Technical Background… and Won - Ep 43


Listen Later

In this episode of PROMPTED, Kyle James sits down with go-to-market strategist Kat Hill Contag to talk about the experience that completely changed how she thinks about AI and building products.

Kat is a GTM consultant who works with SaaS companies on product launches and market expansion. Like many operators, she was curious about AI but did not come from a technical background.

Then she decided to try something new.

Kat entered a women’s AI hackathon using the platform Lovable, gave herself two days to figure it out, and built a tool called AI Recess, a Duolingo-style platform designed to help teams learn practical AI workflows at work.

What happened next surprised even her.

In this conversation, Kyle and Kat explore:

  1. What it is really like to participate in an AI hackathon
  2. How non-technical professionals can start building with AI
  3. Why operators may become the next generation of product builders
  4. The mindset shift required to experiment with AI tools
  5. Why more women need to be part of the AI conversation

If you have ever wondered whether you could actually build something with AI, this episode might change how you think about it.
