Building a full stack app (30 mins)

Integrating AI features to the app (30 mins)

✅ Why invest in learning with me? I’m a Lead PM at Booking.com, and one of the first tech PMs there, with over 10 years in the field. Before moving into product, I was a Software Developer and earned a PhD in Computer Science. I’ve worked on both sides and know exactly what technical understanding PMs need - and don't. I'll teach you exactly what matters (and why) for driving products forward. You'll get the technical and AI-building fluency needed to drive your team, no coding, no database internals, no load balancers. ✅ What can better technical understanding do for your career? From a survey of 650 PMs, 56% want to speak the same language as their engineers to communicate effectively, and build trust. 61% want to estimate features on their own, so they can plan better and deliver on time. And today, technical understanding also lets you quickly AI-prototype features to show it to real users. Finally, if you want to land a Big Tech PM role, tech skills are critical. ✅ What makes this course different? ➡️ The course is 20% theory and 80% hands-on:&nbsp;you’ll solve over 200 exercises, because that’s how real skills stick. (Try two free lessons below to learn new things even if you don’t enroll) ➡️ The course naturally offers you two very related skills: Tech foundation (part 1) allows you to lead your team more effectively. Then, if you think about it - AI is... just a non-human version of your team :) That's why in part 2 you apply Tech concepts to create features yourself. This enables you to understand tech even deeper and later turn your ideas into clickable features in minutes/hours (check 2 examples below: Spotify Clone and Cost Split App). In student's words: "Interestingly, the AI part is also incredibly useful even if you’re not the one doing the prototyping yourself.&nbsp;I started using the right technical terms and began to think a bit like an algorithm (which helps in finding a common language with developers and engineers)." ➡️ You can join even if you have zero knowledge about tech or AI-building ➡️ Over 1,500 students have already completed the course online or in person, on this platform and others. See reviews below. ➡️ Bonus: All alumni get a mini-simulator (SQL, ML/AI, Product Planning &amp; Discovery) worth ~$100 to continue practicing core PM skills. ✅ The course structure explained 1️⃣&nbsp;Live session: Tech 101sWe start with a Tech 101 live session.In just 3 hours, you’ll learn (and immediately apply) the core concepts every PM should know: Frontend, Backend, Services, APIs, and Testing. If you only did this session, you’d already have the essentials down. 2️⃣ Practice Tech (200+ exercises)Time to roll up your sleeves. You’ll work through a story-driven series of exercises based on real-life scenarios. You’ll build a Taxi app, evolve it into a Food delivery service, then a Scooter rental platform, and even a Spotify-like music app.Along the way, you’ll master tech topics with your virtual colleagues: Daniel the bossy CEO, Jane the guiding Principal PM,Ivar the eager Jr. PM (who always needs help), Helen, your sharp Engineering Manager, and more. Curious if this hands-on style suits you?Grab the free resource below, which is one full lesson from the API chapter, and see if solving 200+ exercises like this one sounds fun. 3️⃣ Live session: building a product architecture togetherOnce you’ve mastered the theory and practiced solo, we'll meet up again.You’ll team up with other PMs to design an architecture, APIs, and more for a product idea (like a social network for car owners).Students love this collaborative part. 4️⃣ Practice AI-prototyping (50+ exercises)Back to hands-on mode this time with an AI-prototyping simulator.- Start by cloning UI with simple prompts, then add more UI features.- Next, bring in the database — suddenly it starts to feel real.- Layer on backend logic to make it smarter.- Finally, integrate an external API like OpenAI so your app becomes even more powerful. 🤖 Two examples of what you can do with AI:- In 5 mins: the Spotify clone: now in another 10 mins I can imitate "Concerts nearby" feature and show to stakeholders instead of slides: https://productdo-spotify-clone-interface-demo.replit.app/- In 3 hours: Fully functional CostSplit full-stack app: https://cost-split-mobile-demo-no-auth.replit.app/ (this app is part of the course, you'll build it yourself). Want a taste? Grab another free resource below; it's the full lesson on UI feature creation. After this, you'll be able to add a feature to your Spotify clone all by yourself! 5️⃣ Live session: building a product from scratch using AINow we bring it all together. I’ll walk you through building a complete app, step by step. You’ll break into groups to handle the UI, backend, databases, APIs, and more. It’s going to be a lot of fun. 6️⃣ Advanced chapters and more You’ll unlock advanced simulator chapters, allowing you to continue progressing at your own pace.Additionally, you’ll receive complimentary access to mini-simulators worth approximately ~$100, covering topics such as SQL, ML/AI fundamentals, Product Planning, and Product Discovery. ✅ Prerequisites to join the course﻿- No prior tech or AI experience needed- If you want to participate in the AI-prototyping part, you need a Replit account (20$ for a month should be more than enough)- Be ready to set aside 3 hours for Saturday's workshops and 2-3 hours during the week for self-practice

The technical understanding a successful PM needs - nothing more.

Cohort 3

No-code tools allow virtually anyone to build apps like a team of 5 devs. While you don't have to know any programming languages, there are a lot of potential false steps you can make when you are first learning to use these tools. In this course, we will introduce you to "vibe coding" the right way. Specifically, you will learn: 🔥 How to plan your product before you start using the Vibe PRD that will be embedded in every prompt to ensure that your product has a clear vision and the vibe coder doesn't hallucinate or make incorrect assumptions. 🔥 How to optimize prompts so that you can build something sound and you control how it is scaled out to ensure clean code. 🔥 How and why to create a database to store user and other data. 🔥 How to manage your data effectively and securely using Supabase, including how to understand SQL so that you can ensure your database is structure correctly. 🔥 How to AI-enable your vibe coded apps using ChatGPT, Claude or other AI tools. 🔥 How to integrate other tools to make highly interactive UIs, integrate payments with Stripe, integrate email functionality and more. 🔥 How to integrate with a larger team by exporting code to GitHub. 🔥 How to deploy your apps to production. 🔥 How to use Lovable to the fullest and optimize your creditsi. After just 4 weeks, you will be a master vibe coder with your own fully-featured and working application live!

Learn how to build your application using AI no-code tools in just 4 weeks.

Every Monday, you will be presented with a lesson on a new topic: Lovable prompting, Supabase databases, ChatGPT and backend coding, and more. If you can't make these, they will be recorded and you will be able to watch at your leisure.

Monday Concept Lessons

You will have an opportunity to bring questions and issues so that you can troubleshoot and move past them swiftly and with help.

Wednesday Optional Troubleshooting & Office Hours

Every week you will submit your work so far, culminating in your final application: <ul><li>Your Lovable UI</li><li>Your UI with data</li><li>Your UI with API or authentication</li><li>Your final app</li></ul>

Weekly projects

Non-technical founders who have a great idea but need to build an app without having to hire a developer.

UX designers who want to be able to take their design ideas directly to a live application to validate or just ship.

Product managers who want to take their ideas to an app to test a problem space, or to not be beholden to their dev team's fat backlog,

Building a decent app with no-code tools is a deceptively hard thing to do. We will teach you how to build a useful app that doesn't blow up as it scales and gets more complicated.

Learn how to build great apps using Lovable

Give students an idea of how they can expect to grow throughout your course. Include specificity and precise results so students can benchmark exactly what they’ll learn.

Avoid common mistakes non-technical people making when using no-code tools.
