01
Problem
Start with a familiar problem: having ingredients at home but not knowing what useful meal to make.
LIVE APP BUILD · 3 OCTOBER 2026 · 3:30 PM - 5:00 PM IST
Can AI Build Real Software?
Build and Deploy a Real App Live Using Claude + Google Cloud. Watch Amar Kumar Dani take an everyday problem from idea and requirements to a working public web application.
LIVE BUILD: PANTRY RESCUE
A simple web app that turns ingredients you already have into practical meal ideas based on meal type, dietary preference, cooking time and an optional instruction.

THE LIVE BUILD JOURNEY
From an everyday problem to a live web app
Instead of jumping straight into code, Amar will show the product and development decisions that move a simple idea toward working software.
02
Requirements
Define what the first useful version needs: ingredients, meal type, dietary preference, cooking time and an optional instruction.
03
Product & UI Decisions
Turn the idea into a focused user experience and decide what belongs in the MVP without overbuilding it.
04
Claude-Assisted Development
Use Claude as part of the development process to translate requirements and product decisions into working application code.
05
Logic, Testing & Debugging
Connect the interface to the app logic, test different inputs and work through issues that appear during the build.
06
Deployment
Deploy the MVP using Google Cloud and turn the project into a public web application that can be opened on a phone.
WHAT ARE WE BUILDING?
Pantry Rescue
A practical MVP built live to demonstrate AI-assisted software and product development.
Imagine opening your kitchen and finding rice, tomatoes, eggs and a few other ingredients, but having no idea what to make. Pantry Rescue starts with what you already have and generates practical meal ideas based primarily on those ingredients.
This is not a cooking webinar. Pantry Rescue is the product we use to demonstrate the journey from problem definition to deployed software.
The MVP inputs
Available ingredientsRice, tomato, eggs, onion...
Meal typeBreakfast / Lunch / Dinner / Any
Dietary preferenceVegetarian / Non-vegetarian / Any
Cooking time15 min / 30 min / 45+ min
Optional instruction“Something spicy and easy”
Who this session is for
For people who want to see what AI-assisted software building looks like when applied to one concrete product from start to deployment.
- Professionals curious about practical AI-assisted development
- Founders and managers exploring how product ideas become MVPs
- Product and business people who want to understand the build process
- People curious about Claude, Google Cloud and modern AI-assisted software workflows
You do not need to be an experienced developer
The emphasis is on understanding the process, decisions and practical use of AI throughout the build. Some code and technical concepts may appear during the live demonstration.
The objective is not to turn a 90-minute webinar into a complete software-development course. It is to make the modern AI-assisted build process concrete by seeing one product go through the full journey.

No. Amar's educational and professional background is provided only as biographical information. No endorsement, sponsorship or partnership is implied unless the organizer expressly states otherwise.
Does the webinar guarantee a job, income or a specific productivity improvement?
No. The webinar provides educational demonstrations and frameworks. Results depend on many factors including the task, data quality, tool capabilities, experience and how participants choose to apply what they learn.
Is this a cooking or recipe webinar?
No. Pantry Rescue is the application being built during the session. The webinar is about the process of turning an idea into working software with AI-assisted development.
Do I need to know programming?
You do not need to be an experienced developer to follow the session. Amar will explain the product decisions and development process as the application is built. Some code and technical concepts may appear during the live demonstration.
Will we actually see an app being built?
Yes. The central demonstration follows Pantry Rescue from problem definition and requirements through interface development, application logic, testing, debugging and deployment.
Will the app require complicated integrations?
The core MVP is intentionally kept simple so the complete product journey can be demonstrated clearly. External APIs, authentication, payments, nutrition databases, image recognition and similar capabilities may be discussed as possible future extensions.
How is my registration confirmed?
After you submit the registration form successfully, confirmation and private Google Meet joining details will be sent to the email address you provide.
Will another program be offered during the webinar?
