Two Paths, One Skill

Whether you're automating your business or launching a product, the process is the same. You just need different ambitions.

🔧

Build Internal Tools

"I want to stop the manual madness in my business"

You're drowning in spreadsheets, copy-pasting between tools, and doing the same calculations every day. You know there's a better way.

You'll build things like:

  • Custom calculators for your specific needs
  • Client portals that actually work how you work
  • Inventory trackers that talk to your other tools
  • Automated workflows that save hours daily

"I built a carousel generator for my social media business. What used to take 2 hours now takes 10 minutes." - Meg (that's me!)

🚀

Launch a Product

"I have an idea that could help thousands of people"

You see a problem everywhere in your industry. You know exactly how to solve it because you've lived it. Now you want to build the solution.

You'll build things like:

  • SaaS tools for your industry
  • Marketplaces that connect the right people
  • Specialized apps that solve one problem really well
  • Platforms that leverage your domain expertise

"Built a furniture finder app. Interior designer friends are already asking to use it. Considering making it a real business." - Course student

Here's the secret: It's the same process

Whether you're building for yourself or for customers, you need to:

→

Define exactly what you're building (and what you're not)

→

Choose the right AI tools for your specific use case

→

Design your data structure (it's easier than it sounds)

→

Build iteratively, testing as you go

The only difference? How big you dream.

The $30,000 Problem

You have an app idea. You get quotes from developers. Your stomach drops.

Developer Route

"$30k minimum, 6 month timeline, and they still don't get your vision. Plus $500/month for maintenance."

$30,000+

No-Code Tools

"Looks like every other Bubble app. Hit the limits fast. Still need developers when things get complex."

Dead end

"Learn to Code"

"Just spend 2 years learning JavaScript! By the time you're ready, your idea is outdated."

2+ years

Or Keep Paying Forever...

That CRM that "almost" works

$300/month for features you don't use while missing the one thing you need

5 different tools that don't talk

Copy-pasting between Calendly, Stripe, Excel, and that booking system

"Enterprise" pricing for basics

Need 3 users? That'll be $500/month please

There's another way now

AI changed everything. You can build custom apps by describing what you want in plain English. No coding. No limits. No waiting.

Real Apps You Could Build

Examples of MVPs built by non-technical people.

V

Vintage Furniture Finder

Searches Chairish, 1stDibs, and 47 other sites at once

5 weekends for basic MVP

I kept losing clients because finding that "perfect mid-century credenza under $3000" meant opening 50 browser tabs and searching for hours. Half the time, the piece would sell before my client approved it.

A

Amazon Competitor Price Tracker

Tracks 500+ competitor listings while you sleep

4 weekends for prototype

I was checking 200 competitor prices every morning on Amazon. Took 3 hours. By the time I updated my prices, I'd already lost the Buy Box and a day's sales.

A

Art Commission Tracker

No more lost Instagram DMs

4 weeks to working version

I had someone DM me about a $3000 pet portrait but Instagram buried it under 50 other messages. Found it 3 months later. They'd hired someone else. I literally cried.

C

Cheese Production Calculator

Calculates exact milk fat percentages for artisan cheese

3 weeks for first version

I was losing $1000s because calculating milk fat percentages for different cheese types meant complex math I'd do wrong at 4am. One batch of bad cheddar = week's profit gone.
