You don't need to be an engineer to build things

Why should they have all the fun?

I'm starting a community for people learning to build with AI. Share what you’re making. Get unstuck. Level up together.

You’ve seen the posts. People building apps, automations, entire products—without writing code.

You know you should be doing this too. But where do you start? What tools? How do you go from idea to something that actually works?

That’s what this community is for.

This is not another insane discord full of experienced engineers. Just people like us, figuring it out together.


I can’t code, but I build.

This has been my journey:

  • I built a community (like this!) for no-code builders back in 2018—sold to Zapier

  • I failed learning to code—courses, communities, content all overwhelmed me

  • I wanted to make things—my ideas, random automations, little (+big!) apps

  • I try every tool under the sun—and learn from experienced engineers

  • I’ve contributed code to real companies—using agents, of course

In this new community, I’m going to share what I’m learning, how I graduated from no-code to shipping software, a peek behind my in-progress builds and content.


What you get

  • A place to share what you’re building—get feedback, find testers, build better

  • Ask questions—no judgment, no “just ChatGPT it”, no question is dumb

  • Learn from people a few steps ahead—not 10 years ahead

  • See builds from idea to deployed—real projects, processes and setups

  • Direct access to me (Ben)—ask me anything about building with AI


This is for you if...

You want to start building

You see everyone making things with AI and want in. You’re not sure where to begin, what all the jargon means, what tools to use, or how to apply what you learn. You want to go from “I have ideas” to “I build my ideas”.

You’re vibe coding but want to level up

You’ve used Replit, Cursor, or Claude Code to build things. Sometimes it works, sometimes you’re stuck for hours. You want to get faster, build more complex things, and understand what’s actually happening.


$80/year*

No tiers. No upsells. Just access to the community and everything we build together.
