Modules 1 to 2 · a validated concept
Define your user, map the problem, and pressure-test the idea before you spend a single hour designing it.

01 · The shift
Why one person can now build this
Five years ago an app meant one of three routes: learn to code for a year, hire an agency, or find a technical co-founder. Most ideas died at that fork, not because they were bad but because the cost of finding out was too high.
AI collapsed that cost. Cursor and Claude write, explain and debug production code from plain English. Design tools generate real interfaces. Supabase gives you a database and user accounts without a server team. The bottleneck stopped being whether you can code.
What it became instead is whether you know what to build, how to design it so a real person can use it, and how to direct AI to build it well. That is the whole subject of this program.
02 · What you build
A product with your name on it
Modules 3 to 6 · a complete design
Every screen, the flows between them, and a clickable prototype, sharpened by live critique from your cohort.
Modules 7 to 10 · a working app
A native app on Expo and React Native, or a web app on Next.js. Real code, a real backend, real data.
Modules 11 to 12 · a live product
App Store submission, a landing page and a launch. You graduate with users, not a portfolio concept.
03 · Before you apply
Questions, answered straight
Can I really build an app with AI if I have never coded
Yes, and it is the core premise of the program. Tools like Cursor and Claude write the code. You learn to direct them: writing clear prompts, reading what comes back, and debugging with AI helping. Most students start with no programming background at all.
What kind of app can I build
Either a native mobile app, iOS and Android through Expo and React Native, or a web app on Next.js. Module 1 is where you choose, based on your idea and who it is for. Roughly 65% of students build mobile and 35% build web.
How is this different from just using ChatGPT on my own
AI can write code. It cannot tell you whether your idea is worth building, how to design something a person can actually use, or how to get through App Store review. The program wraps the tools in the process professionals use, with people around you doing the same thing at the same time.
Do I own what I build
Completely. The code, the design, the users, and any revenue if you charge for it. There is no platform holding your work.
What does it cost
The twelve weeks are $2,400 paid in full, or three monthly payments of $900. That covers every live session and recording, the AI toolkit, peer review, drop-in office hours, Demo Day, and lifetime access to the community.
