How to Build an App with AI
Go from idea to working product using AI coding tools. Whether you want to build a personal tool for yourself or a consumer app for others — I'll teach you the product thinking, engineering fundamentals, and AI workflow to ship real software.
No computer science degree required. No prior coding experience required. Just a willingness to learn and something you want to build.

Who is this for?
The personal builder
You have an idea for a tool that would make your own life easier — a workflow automator, a dashboard, a personal app — and you want to build it yourself.
The aspiring founder
You want to build a product for other people to use — something you might charge for, grow, or turn into a business — and you don't have a technical co-founder.
The career-changer
You're in a non-technical role and want to add "can build software" to your skill set. You've seen what AI coding tools can do, and you want to learn properly.
What we'll cover
Product thinking
How to define what you're building, who it's for, and what it needs to do — before you write a line of code.
AI coding tools
Hands-on with Claude Code, Cursor, and the agentic coding workflow. How to give tasks, monitor work, evaluate output, and iterate.
Engineering fundamentals
The concepts you need even when AI writes the code: databases, authentication, APIs, deployment, and version control.
From prototype to production
Hosting, domain setup, error handling, user feedback — the gap between "it works on my laptop" and "it works for real people."
A repeatable workflow
Not just how to build this one thing — a process you can reuse. So the next idea you have, you can start building it the same afternoon.
An action plan
You'll leave with a clear, written plan for your project — what to build, how to build it, and the exact next steps to take on your own.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need any coding experience?
No. AI coding tools have changed what's required. You need to be comfortable with technology in general, but you don't need to know how to code.
What can I realistically achieve in 2 hours?
More than you'd think. In 2 hours we'll map out your project, get your tools set up, work through the foundations together, and build a clear plan for what to do next. Some participants leave with a working prototype; all leave with a complete action plan and the confidence to keep building independently.
How is this different from a YouTube tutorial?
Tutorials teach you to build the instructor's project. This teaches you to build yours. It's 1:1, so everything is tailored to your context, your project, and the specific problems you hit.
What tools do I need?
A laptop (Mac or Windows), a Claude Pro subscription, and an internet connection. I'll send setup instructions before the session so we can hit the ground running.
Ready to build?
One session. Your idea. A clear plan to ship it. And a process you can repeat for anything you want to build next.
