Built by Lunch: build your first AI app - no experience needed
Curious about building an app, but never written a line of code? This is for you.
Built by Lunch is a hands-on morning for 6 people, hosted around the dining table of a beautiful home right on Portobello Road. In one focused session you'll go from idea to a real, working web app - live on your laptop by 1pm, yours to keep and show off. I'll guide you through every step, and you'll leave knowing how to keep building without me.
Complete beginners only — no technical background needed. The pace is welcoming, every basic question is a good question, and nobody gets left behind.
The morning:
9:15 — Arrive. Proper coffee, introductions, what we're building
10:00 — Hands-on: your first app with Claude, step by step
12:15 — Finishing touches, then show & tell: every app demoed, every builder applauded
1:00 — Leave with your working app, and an invite to Session 2: Ship It — where we take your app live on the internet with its own real URL
At the end of the morning I'll take one app live in front of you, so you can see exactly where this goes next.
What you'll need: any laptop and a Claude Pro account (~£18/month, cancel anytime — it's the same tool you'll keep building with afterwards). I'll send simple set-up steps when you book; it takes 10 minutes and there's nothing else to install.
Details: 6 seats only. Great coffee and pastries included. Exact address sent after booking.
Founding session price: £95 (rising to £140). In return I'll ask for honest feedback and a photo or two.
Hosted by Sarah — I build with Claude every day, and I'd rather teach you in my front room than a conference centre.
