Codefi hosted the first AI Industry Night at the Builders Lab on September 2, featuring an hour of questions and hands-on demos.

If you're building a startup, learning to code with AI, or trying to make AI actually work inside your organization — you're in the right place. We've spent 12 years building the programs, tools, and infrastructure that founders and builders in Missouri (and beyond) wish they'd had from day one. We turn learning into traction and traction into economic impact. 100's of startups launched. 1000's of builders trained. $100M+ in economic impact. We measure success in shipped products and validated ideas, not certificates. Four integrated programs: AI Skills — Hands-on training for every level. Vibe coding basics for first-time builders. Advanced AI-native development for experienced engineers. Mapped to the DOL AI Literacy Framework, with industry-specific tracks for healthcare, manufacturing, and agriculture. Traction Studio AI — The startup traction platform for founders who need to know what to do next. AI-powered intelligence, right-sized tools, and expert services — one integrated system from customer discovery to scale readiness. Learn fast. Build right. Gain traction. Dev Studio — Your idea, built fast. AI-native product development for startups and organizations. MVPs, scalable platforms, and custom AI agents. You focus on the business. We build the product. Builders Lab — AI transformation that actually sticks. Hands-on learning, Vibeathons, and real product delivery. For companies, universities, and economic development organizations that need more than a workshop — a complete pathway from first experiment to real outcomes. Rooted in Cape Girardeau and Springfield. Serving all of Missouri through the Show Me Network. Available nationally through Codefi, Inc. Learn fast. Build right. Gain traction.
