AI Next.js Fullstack Workshop is a developer workshop in building a structured workflow with AI agents, from AI-assisted UI design, MCP and spec-driven development to Next.js with TypeScript, Prisma, Supabase, Better Auth and AI code review. It suits web developers and frontend developers moving into backend work, and you leave able to deploy a web app to production.
Most developers already use AI to help write code, but they use it one question at a time and paste the results in. That captures only part of the value and usually produces code that does not fit the existing structure. Working with AI professionally requires an explicit workflow: design first, write a spec that keeps the AI inside a defined frame, then delegate work in pieces and review what comes back. This full-day workshop is for people who
already have web fundamentals and want to assemble that complete modern workflow. It covers AI-assisted UI design, connecting the design into the editor through MCP, spec-driven development with design.md and spec.md, planning and breaking down work with AI, building the app with Next.js and TypeScript alongside Prisma and Supabase, adding authentication, debugging and code review with AI, delegating iterative work to an AI agent, and deploying to production with the right configuration. (1 day, 6 hours, Intermediate level.)
Course Details
A 1-day course, 6 hours (10:00-17:00), run as a hands-on workshop throughout. Intermediate level; learners should already have HTML, CSS and JavaScript fundamentals and must bring their own laptop (Windows or macOS) with permission to install software. Learners take home the source code, a spec template set (design.md and spec.md), a prompt workflow, and their own application already deployed to production. The content focuses on workflow and principles, so it transfers to other AI tools as the technology changes.
Session 1: AI UI Design, MCP and Spec (10:00-12:00)
Session 2: Planning and Next.js Fullstack (13:00-15:15)
Session 3: AI Debugging, Agents and Production Deploy (15:15-17:00)
MCP (Model Context Protocol) is an open standard that lets AI applications connect to external tools and data sources, such as design tools, databases or APIs, through MCP servers in a consistent way. Instead of you copying data into a chat, the agent can read designs or real data and act on them, for example pulling a design into the editor to generate starter code. Grant only the access it needs.
Start by writing design.md to describe how the system looks and behaves, then spec.md to set the scope, requirements and acceptance criteria for each piece of work. Have the AI read both before it starts, help plan and break the work into chunks it can finish in one pass, check each round against the acceptance criteria, and update the spec when requirements change. The code fits the existing structure far better than one-off prompts.
Prisma is a TypeScript ORM: you define tables and relationships in a schema.prisma file and it generates a fully typed client for you. When you write queries, the editor autocompletes them and warns you about wrong field names. When the schema changes, prisma migrate creates migration files so the database structure changes in a controlled way, and it works with PostgreSQL on Supabase.
It suits web developers who want a structured way of working with AI, frontend developers moving into backend and database work, people with HTML, CSS and JavaScript who want to start with Next.js, and freelancers who want to deliver faster. You should be able to read and edit HTML, CSS and JavaScript, have built a small website before, and use the command line and Git at a basic level. Next.js experience is not required.
You will be able to design screens with AI and bring them into the editor via MCP, write design.md and spec.md for the AI to follow, build a Next.js app in TypeScript with an API, design the database with Prisma and Supabase, add login and user roles with Better Auth, use AI for debugging and code review, and deploy the app to production. Participants who complete the training receive a Certificate of Completion with its own number, which can be verified online.
Bring your own Windows or macOS laptop with permission to install software, as you will install development tools and run a Next.js project on your own machine throughout the workshop. It is worth refreshing your JavaScript, command-line and basic Git skills beforehand so you can keep pace with the labs from the start.
This course walks learners the whole way in two days: from never having written code to building a fullstack web application with a database and user accounts, then deploying it to production, all through systematic work with an AI agent. Day one lays the…
Next.js has become the standard framework for building enterprise React web applications, and in 2026 it reached version 16 - its biggest change since the arrival of the App Router. Turbopack is now the default bundler for both development and build, Cache…
