Bedo Hamza
Bionic Product Development | Meetup 2026
"I can't code. But today I can build things that were impossible two years ago."
A breakfast, a problem, and an idea
"An hour and a half, very intense, lots of information — and afterwards we lose half of it."
Discussed for hours — tasks fall through the cracks
What did we agree on? Who does what? Piecing it together afterwards
The best insights come during conversations — and disappear afterwards
An app that understands conversations and creates to-dos from them
"I understand products. But writing the code? That was always the wall."
Just checking what these AI coding tools can do
7 years conversational interfaces — Swiss German was always the showstopper. Suddenly not anymore.
First prototype name, Batman analogy. Later renamed to DinBrudi.
"The competence I lacked could be compensated by the tools. Suddenly I could build my first prototype."
"Pure will. I wanted this — and pushed through. 14 hours a day, for two weeks."
Copy code → error → back → new code → new error
AI doesn't know the project — classes, models, everything explained manually
No understanding of project structure — you had to know which file goes where
Just integrate the changed part? Too difficult. So regenerate the whole file.
"It was like programming by fax. Works somehow — but you feel: This isn't how it's meant to be."
"I don't have to explain my idea to anyone. I can implement it immediately and get immediate feedback."
"My wife and I just talk — and we get the shopping list."
Similar codebase, own UI, separate market — Xcode solves this with targets.
Little traction. But learned a tremendous amount again.
"Colleagues asked: What is Bedo doing in his spare time, 24 hours a day?"
Let's see what came of it

Live demo on iPhone
Question to the audience: Who has already generated code with AI tools?
A colleague, a recipe app, and Claude Code
One command. A new world. The start of my computer fascination.
Same effect. A colleague with a recipe app shows me Claude Code. Everything changes.
"Suddenly a completely new world opened up that was previously closed."
"The moment Claude Code first read my entire project and knew which files exist — that was the game changer."
"Even the best developers can't physically type that fast. It's pure physics — like a chess computer that can calculate more moves."
"More efficient to program the app from scratch than use cross-platform frameworks. The foundation is laid in minutes."
"The goal wasn't clean code. The goal was: Is this technically feasible? Are there APIs for it?"

Google Maps 3D Android only · Centrium undocumented · Pitched agencies
Second year, new platform, missing SDKs — eventually too much
"For prototypes, code quality doesn't matter. It's only about finding out: Is this feasible?"
| UX Mockup | Functional Prototype |
|---|---|
| Shows how it could look | Shows if it works |
| You can draw anything | You see the technical limits |
| Abstract for stakeholders | Tangible, experienceable, convincing |
| Needs developer for validation | PM validates independently |
"A functional prototype has a completely different depth than a mockup. In a mockup you can draw anything — that's completely irrelevant."
Vibe Coding at the employer
"I no longer have to use the expensive and scarce developer resources just to validate an idea."
Technical feasibility checked myself — different conversation with developers
Functional prototypes instead of "you understand this, I understand something else"
Test prototype 2–3 months before it goes into development
Functional demos instead of slides — much more tangible, much better
Product Manager, developers, teams
"The question isn't whether developers will be replaced. The question is whether they're ready to evolve their role."
Communication
"You understand this, I understand something else."
Agile processes, Scrum, sprints — all attempts to solve communication
Functional prototypes — a solution that's understandable for everyone
Best of Swiss Apps
Best of Swiss Apps — Category Innovation
Best of Swiss Apps — Category Extended Interactions
"There was nothing before where one-man shows could deliver apps at this quality. The gold winner in Innovation is also a Vibe Coder, by the way."

visionOSAll created with Vibe Coding — from concept to App Store
Build app, push, gather feedback, iterate
2024: 2 weeks → 2026: 2 days for same scope
DinBrudi: no PMF — but the learning effect was priceless
Functional prototypes solve what Scrum promised
"I don't give up — and I recommend you: Start. Today."
