Discover the World of AI Coding for Beginners

On January 22, 2026, Creek and River Co. (C&R) will host an engaging online seminar titled "Introduction to AI Coding for Beginners: Experience 'Vibe Coding' - Automate Excel Macros and Google Apps Script Using Generative AI." The seminar aims to empower those without programming experience to leverage the advancements in generative AI for automating their tasks in Excel and Google Sheets.

Why Attend?

In today’s fast-paced digital landscape, generative AI has evolved beyond mere text generation; it can now write code autonomously. This seminar will guide attendees through a hands-on experience of explaining their operational flows to an AI, which will then generate the required codes. This is particularly beneficial for individuals who have been interested in automating their tasks but felt overwhelmed by programming.

Key Seminar Highlights:

• - Learn a new work method: even without coding knowledge, you can utilize AI to write code.
• - Master prompts that enable AI to create Excel macros (VBA).
• - Understand the basics of automating Google Sheets (GAS) with practical examples.
• - Discover the process of 'Vibe Coding', an interactive coding experience with AI.
• - Learn how to design basic automation to increase your work efficiency dramatically.

Goals of the Seminar:

• - Experience how simply explaining your workflow to an AI can result in completed code.
• - Identify automation opportunities within your own tasks starting tomorrow.
• - Gain the ability to collaborate with AI on minor code modifications.
• - Transform from being someone who cannot program into an individual who can automate tasks with AI.
