🚀 Apply to work with me in The Product Studio and make $5K-50K+ from your app idea: https://go.buildgreatproducts.com/

If you're looking to build an app with AI and you're interested in Cursor or you're just getting started with vibe coding, then this is the course for you.

3.5 hours of step by step instruction, guiding you through the full process of building an app with AI, unedited and including all the errors, mistakes and fixes along the way.

Building software with AI is not a straight line, and every project is different, but I wanted to show everyone the full process of building an app from scratch for a non-technical builder (like myself)

If you're a developer, this might look basic and trivial to you, but for anyone non-technical I want to help you build your first app with Cursor, and get your app live and ready to accept real paying customers.
