Course overview

Convert your PRD to a prototype in minutes

Have you seen other PMs leveraging AI to ship prototypes at lightning speed , but when you try it yourself:

- Basic tutorials leave you stuck on simple examples ?

- Technical obstacles slow your momentum ?

- Debugging feels impossible without coding experience ?

- You're unsure which AI tools actually deliver value ?


You know mastering AI prototyping could transform your workflow. But the path from curiosity to confidence isn't clear.


With AI, you can build functional prototypes in minutes.


The challenge with AI prototyping isn't getting started — it's understanding what these tools can and can't do.


That’s why this cohort is designed to expose you to essential AI prototyping tools and their unique capabilities. You'll learn to debug issues (even without coding experience) to stay productive and deliver real value.


And our community will be here to give you the support, guidance, and accountability you’ll need to finally stick with it.


In just 4 weeks, you'll go from zero experience to shipping multiple prototypes -- from interactive prototypes to accompany your PRD, to personalized tools that boost your productivity.



Now imagine if you could:


✅ Ship prototypes in hours without getting stuck in an infinite loop


✅ Learn how software applications work by building them


✅ Build personalized software to fit your exact needs


✅ Master advanced concepts like integrations to supercharge your prototypes



Getting started is easy.


1️⃣ Begin with my 5-day email course to build your first AI prototype this week (sign up below!)


2️⃣ Join the 4-week cohort to master AI prototyping tools, debug common issues, and integrate with other apps in minutes 


🔥 All alumni can stay up to date with our private community with weekly demos, 1:1 support, and more!


📣 Live sessions are at 1PM EST and 5PM EST! You can pick whichever works best for you! All live sessions are recorded.


🎉 Bonus: When you enroll in this course, you’ll receive $1,395 in free credits to level up your workflow with Superhuman, Linear, Sprig, Dovetail & Gamma PLUS one month sponsored with Replit Core & Bolt Pro (see FAQ for details)

Colin Matthews

Sold my first SaaS in 2021. Product Manager, 8500+ students, featured by Lenny.

I’ve had my fair share of doubt when it came to technical skills. From flunking out of my first software engineering interview, to struggling to build my own SaaS products for years, I’ve always felt like an imposter.


In 2021, everything changed. I sold my first SaaS product as an independent developer.


Now, with AI tools, you can accomplish months of works in just hours using the right strategies. I want to help you use AI to build your software — whether thats for your own personal apps, work, or to sell a SaaS of your own.
