bytebot · x · 2026-10-23
PROMPT:CITY founder Wong Joon Ian appeared on BFM 89.9 to discuss "AI for Non-Techies" at Urbanscapes 2026. He argues the AI ecosystem is crowded with developer meetups while non-technical professionals, creatives and entrepreneurs lack hands-on exposure, so his platform partners with cultural events to reach everyday users. He also breaks down ticket-vs-sponsorship unit economics, the rise of vibe coding and bespoke software, creative backlash against generative tools, and APAC expansion plans. The poster adds: keep the craft, let AI take the admin — "Intelligence Amplification."
