Domain Experts: Build Your Own Tools At Work
A live build for the people who are tired of filing a ticket and waiting.
If you work in sales, marketing, ops, or finance, you’ve had the idea. You know exactly what tool would save your team hours a week. You just don’t have an engineer free to build it, and by the time one is, the moment’s passed.
This session closes that gap.
JJ Englert (Tenex) and KP (Netlify) show you how to build a real app from scratch, live, using Claude and Netlify. No repo prepped ahead of time. No slides. Just an idea, a prompt, and a working app by the end of the hour.
You’ll see:
Idea to Artifact: turning a plain language idea into a working app inside Claude
Claude + Netlify.ai: giving Claude live access to Netlify’s latest docs and deploy skills, so it builds with current context instead of guessing
Netlify Agent Runners: iterating on the app after first deploy, so it keeps evolving as your idea does
AI Gateway: adding an AI assistant into your own app
Who this is for
You don’t need to know how to code. You need to be the person on your team who’s already solving problems with spreadsheets, decks, and workarounds, and who’s curious what happens when you get to build the real thing instead.
What you’ll leave with
A clear mental model for going from idea to deployed app inside one platform, and the confidence that you don’t need to wait on anyone to try it yourself.
No setup required to attend.
