Design and prototype functional AI-powered apps using no-code tools and structured interaction design

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

This course empowers learners to design and prototype intelligent applications using AI-assisted platforms. Starting with user research and interaction mapping, learners will apply structured design principles to define flows, interfaces, and behaviors aligned with user needs.

 

They will then translate these conceptual plans into functional prototypes using modern no-code methods — integrating AI to simulate logic, streamline interactions, and adapt designs based on feedback. The course bridges design intent and intelligent execution, helping learners go from static screens to responsive prototypes without needing to write code.

Nanda Ye Aung brings extensive experience across the IT and education industries, especially in 3D graphic animation, game programming and game development. He has worked in the United States, India and Singapore.

His background in game programming gives him a practical grounding in agent behaviour and decision systems — the behaviour trees, state machines and rule-based logic that let software decide what to do next. He applies that foundation to AI systems.

Nanda is a Unity Certified Developer and an Unreal Engine Authorised Instructor, and holds certifications from Microsoft and Oracle. His clear communication makes him a valued lecturer at MAGES.

FAQs

What is this course about?

Go from app idea to working prototype — without writing code. You’ll learn to define what you’re building, design the experience, and use AI tools to bring it to life.

Do I need coding experience?

No. The course uses no-code platforms and AI-assisted tools. No programming knowledge is required – if you can describe your idea clearly, you can prototype it.

What tools are used?

No-code platforms and AI prototyping tools. Specific tools may evolve, but the process — from PRD to prototype — stays relevant.

Is this suitable for beginners?

Yes. No app development or coding background needed. Basic computer skills are enough.

Will I build a complete app?

You’ll build a working prototype — functional enough to test, demo, and validate. Not production-ready, but real enough to show what you’re building.

Does it cover AI features like chatbots?

Yes. You’ll explore how to integrate AI chat and basic automation into your prototypes.

Is this relevant for startups or business teams?

Very. If you need to test an idea fast before committing to developers, this is the course. Prototype first, build later.

What's the assessment?

You’ll design, build, and refine your own app prototype using no-code and AI tools. Real project, not just theory.

What certification will I receive?

Certificate of Completion from MAGES, issued upon successful completion of the assessment.
