At Purple Horizons, we believe AI adoption happens fastest when people can learn in a practical, accessible, and hands-on way.

That was the focus of our recent workshop with Cuba Emprende Foundation, held in Spanish at The LAB Miami in Wynwood. Together, we led a session on AI prompting and building apps with Lovable, giving participants a direct look at how today’s tools can help turn ideas into working products faster than ever.

Cuba Emprende Foundation has long supported entrepreneurship and business education, making this a natural collaboration. The workshop was designed to meet people where they are, not with abstract conversations about AI, but with real examples, live building, and practical frameworks they could use immediately.

We started with prompting, showing the group how better inputs lead to better outputs. We talked through how to structure requests, refine responses, and use AI as a creative and operational partner. From there, we moved into Lovable, demonstrating how someone can go from an idea to a functional app quickly, even without a traditional development background.

Holding the workshop in Spanish mattered. It created a more immediate, natural learning environment for the group and made the conversation more useful, more engaging, and more relevant. AI education should feel open and usable, not distant or overly technical.

What stood out most was the level of curiosity and momentum in the room. Once participants saw how prompting could sharpen their thinking and how rapidly they could prototype with the right tools, the conversation became less about theory and more about execution.

That’s where the real opportunity is.

We’re grateful to Cuba Emprende Foundation for partnering with us, and to The LAB Miami for hosting us in Wynwood. These kinds of workshops are exactly how stronger entrepreneurial and innovation ecosystems get built, one room, one conversation, and one prototype at a time.
