About Event

​You know your customer's problem better than anyone. Until now, getting that idea into something people could click on meant waiting on a designer and an engineer.

​That's changed. We've run this session three times, some with up to 75 people and both technical and non-technical founders walk out having built something.

​What this is

​45 minutes of building, then 15 minutes of Q&A. We'll go from rough idea to a working product you can put in front of users.

​→ Talk it out. Describe your idea to Claude the way you'd explain it to a friend and turn that into a clickable version you can show customers or your team.

​→ Make it look right. Use screenshots, a sketch on paper or a Figma file so the prototype looks like your product, not a template.

​→ Make it work. Build a real, working version in Claude Code, not a demo that falls apart on the second click.

​→ The words you'll need. GitHub, Vercel, logins and multi-tenant (when different companies each need their own private space). Is this a tool for you, your team or your customers? That answer changes what you build.

​→ Test it before your users do. Use an agent to click through your product on a test account and find what breaks. It's a cheap way to catch problems when you can't afford a QA team.

​I will say that you won't be an engineer after one hour. What you build will work and people can use it. Getting it hardened for real customer data is still a job for an engineer and we'll show you where that line is.

​What you’ll do

​Bring an idea you've been sitting on. You'll build a working first version in the room, with help from me and Babajide Okusanya.

​You'll leave with

​→ A working first version of your idea

​→ A checklist for what needs to happen before real customers use it

​Why this one is different

​Most AI sales content is about sending more. This one's about sending better, with a process you can keep running when it's still just you doing sales.

​What to bring

​A laptop, a paid Claude plan to build along and an idea. No paid plan? Come watch and ask questions.
