Course overview

Learn to Solve Problems With Your Own Software

People who can code get farther in life by solving problems with software.


It is even more rare and impactful if your role is not as a developer but you can also code, for example a product manager who can code, a marketer who can code, or a sales person who can code, etc.


The ability to code is a super power.


These developer combos don't need to go talk to another developer in order to get something done, they can just make the thing themselves.


Benefits for people who code:


1) Save time and money by building tools that automate tasks for themselves or others.

2) Get promotions at work for technical contributions OR grow a business as an entrepreneur.


So, why aren't you building your own software?


Because learning to code is hard, and even if you know how to code, coding takes a long time.


But, what if you didn't have to be the one to actually write the code? What if you could tell someone else what code to write and they did whatever you said (really fast) and never slept?


This is exactly what AI can do.


AI is now so good that it not only can help you code, it can even code for you.


It's like having your own engineer who will build anything you want, at any hour of the day, and they just cost $20/month.


What would you build if you knew how to do this?


Knowing how to tell an AI to build software is the most high value skill you can learn today. Most people don't know how to do it, simply by learning a little bit you will already be one of the most skilled in the world.


This course will teach you everything you need to know in order to build anything simply by telling the AI what to code.


WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:


- All of the tips and strategies

- How to overcome issues and roadblocks

- How to setup your developer environment

- What AI to work with

- How to build user sign in, save and pull data from a database, and integrate with services like OpenAI and Stripe

- How to deploy your app for others to use


WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD:


- Internal tools

- An entire social network

- AI apps

- iPhone apps

- Literally anything, no matter how complex or ambitious


YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS COURSE IF:


- You are excited to be able to build things

- You are ok with getting frustrated


WHY LEARN FROM ME:


I have been building software since 2007 when I moved to Silicon Valley at age 19. I learned product management from Josh Elman, one of the most successful product managers in tech (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Robinhood, Apple).


I've been working with AI specifically since 2016 as CEO of Octane AI, an AI company where we power AI for millions of people.


I was one of the first people to get access to OpenAI's technology, years before ChatGPT was released.


And more specifically... Over the past 90 days I have used AI to build at least one new app a day.


I do speedruns where I see how much of an app I can build in 30 min, 60 min, etc. Just like going to the gym, but for coding with AI.


I’ve also watched hours and hours of videos of developers screen sharing themselves building with AI, I’ve watched interviews with the founders of these AI tools where they give insights into their own tips and tricks, I’ve looked through forums, and chatted directly with anyone and everyone who is building this skill.


Over the past three months I have gone very deep on learning everything there is to know about coding with AI.


And I want as many people in the world to be able to do this too.


Creating is just so fun and rewarding, my brain craves to create and coding with AI is one of the most amazing creative experiences.


I’m here to deliver one very clear message to you: You can now build anything you ever wanted simply by telling an AI to build it for you.


Social networks, cooking apps, iPhone apps, games, anything. ANYTHING.


How does coding with AI work? What have people used AI to build? How exactly can you use AI to code an app? How can you copy my strategy for learning to code with AI? What does the future of coding with AI look like?


I’m going to answer all of these questions for you in this course.


I’m going to show you how to build an entire app. Yes you.


Let’s do this.
