About AI 301: AI 301 is for officers who are ready to move beyond using AI for individual tasks and want to design, prototype, and deploy AI-powered solutions at work.
🔨AI 301: Build with AI
AI 301: Build with AI is a practical, hands-on journey to help you frame the right problem, explore how Al can help, and build something you can test. Turn a work problem into an Al-powered solution today!
1. Frame 💡
Frame the problem. Apply product thinking to define workplace problems and desired outcomes before identifying AI-enabled solutions.
Start your product thinking journey with these guides:
2. Build 🔨
Build solutions with vibe coding. Translate workplace problems into simple AI-enabled prototypes or workflows through hands-on experimentation, while considering relevant limitations and governance.
Learn about rapid prototyping and vibe coding with these guides.
Also explore enterprise AI solutions such as skills, connectors, and custom chatbots. Many problems can be solved without building an app. Learn more in the AI 201 learning pathway.
3. Capstone Project🚀
Put your problem and solution to the test with this capstone project. Submit your problem statement and the solution you built to see how well they align, and whether your solution could work in practice.

📚Additional Resources
Learn to Vibe Code in 10 Minutes [Video 10min] ↗(opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)*
Learn the basics of vibe coding by building a simple website using natural language instead of writing code. This video walks through how to describe what you want, let an AI tool generate the application, and iteratively test and refine the output. It also covers where vibe coding works well for rapid prototyping, and why scaling or operationalising a solution still requires deeper technical expertise. Useful for officers who want a quick, hands-on introduction to turning ideas into working prototypes with AI.
Vibe Coding and Rapid Prototyping with Replit [e-Learning 30min] ↗(opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)*
Learn how to rapidly turn web app ideas into working prototypes using Replit’s cloud-based development environment. The course covers building foundational app structures, testing and debugging, refining designs, and deploying and sharing live prototypes to gather feedback. Useful for officers who want a practical introduction to vibe coding and rapid prototyping without needing to build applications from scratch using traditional development workflows.
Vibe Coding from Scratch [1h 51min] ↗(opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)*
Learn how to build and deploy a complete web application using AI coding tools, without prior programming experience. Covers planning, front-end and back-end development, architecture, testing, debugging, security review and deployment, with a repeatable workflow for turning ideas into functional applications.

🧑🏫Recommended In-Person Courses
Republic Polytechnic: Agentic AI Workflow Automation with n8n ↗(opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
A hands-on course on designing and deploying AI-enabled workflow automations using n8n. Participants learn to connect APIs, databases, AI services and cloud tools; incorporate capabilities such as summarisation and classification; and build workflows with triggers, conditional logic, error handling and monitoring. Recommended for officers who want to automate multi-step business processes and integrate AI into operational workflows without extensive coding.
Note: This course is recommended for further learning and exposure to industry tools and practices. n8n is currently not available within the Government environment.
Tertiary Infotech Academy: WSQ Agentic AI Automation with n8n ↗(opens in new tab) (opens in new tab)
A hands-on course on building agentic workflows using n8n, AI agents, webhooks and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Participants learn to design autonomous multi-step workflows, connect external systems via APIs, incorporate enterprise knowledge, and apply human-in-the-loop controls, monitoring, error handling and security practices. Recommended for officers looking to deepen their understanding of more advanced industry approaches to agentic automation and AI-driven business process orchestration.
Note: This course is recommended for further learning and exposure to industry tools and practices. n8n is currently not available within the Government environment.
We will continue to review the courses regularly and refresh the materials as new and useful resources, examples, and practices emerge.
