Build with AI

The tools change every month. The way you work with them doesn’t.

About a year ago I started building seriously with AI, and it changed how I work. The more I built, the more I thought about the students and early-career people I know, who are entering a workforce that already runs on this with almost no hands-on exposure to it.

So I help people get started. Tell me what you want to build or figure out, and we will work on it together until you have something working and know how to keep going.

§ 01 How it works

Start from your idea,
not a syllabus.

01

Tell me what you want to build

A tool, a site, an automation, or just something you want to understand. Start from a real problem of your own.

02

We work on it together

One to one or in a small group, depending on who else is starting out, using whatever tools are best right now.

03

You leave able to keep going

Something working, and the habits to build the next thing on your own. We go for as long as it is useful, not a set number of weeks.

§ 02 Questions

Frequently asked

Who is this for?

Students and people early in their careers, in any field. Business, marketing, design, the sciences: anywhere ideas, taste, and judgment matter. No technical background needed.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. This is about directing AI clearly: breaking a problem down, saying what you want, checking what comes back. Not writing code by hand.

Why no fixed program or schedule?

The tools change every month, so a syllabus written a few months ago is already out of date. Instead we start from what you want to build and use whatever works best at the time.

What does it cost?

Nothing. You will need your own subscription to an AI tool, usually around $20 a month, and I will help you choose one that fits what you want to do.
