Build real software with AI. Without learning to code first.
By the end of this you'll have shipped a real game with a real landing page — and you'll know how to do it again. No terminal. No code. One tool, start to finish.
You’ll need your own paid Anthropic plan. The course runs entirely inside Claude Cowork, which is not part of the free tier — currently $20 a month. That’s on top of the course itself, and we’d rather you knew now than found out in Module 0.
What you’ll learn to do
- Set up Claude Cowork on your own computer — and understand why it’s set up that way, so the rest makes sense instead of feeling like ritual
- Write prompts that get you something specific instead of something generic
- Push the machine in a specific direction — because the first answer is the average one, and the average one is slop
- Run a skill that interviews you, and find an idea that’s actually yours
- Turn your own answers into a project charter — why this should exist, and what it isn’t
- Run a project manager, a builder and a reviewer at the same time, with you conducting
- Turn a charter into a product requirements document the machine can build from
- Install an evaluation protocol and use it to judge your own work through an independent reviewer
- Hand your documents to the machine and get a working product back
- Choose what’s worth testing, check it against your own spec, and prompt your way to a fix
- Leave knowing what you could learn to build next — and how a project like this becomes a real, live thing
The whole course, in order
Ten modules. Every one produces a real file that the next one builds on, so nothing ever starts from a blank page.
- Module 0: Set up your system
- Module 1: Write a good prompt (Research)
- Module 2: Get the most out of a session (Ideation + the grill)
- Module 3: The Project Charter
- Module 4: Run more than one agent
- Module 5: The Product Requirements Document
- Module 6: Install and run a skill (Evaluation)
- Module 7: Build it
- Module 8: Check the work
- Module 9: Ship it, and what's next
You’re never stuck alone
Lucy — the coach we install on day one — knows every step of this. Ask them anything, any time, right where you’re working. They know the course and point you back to the exact lesson.
You’ll finish with more than a game. A landing page, and six documents that show exactly how it got made: research, an ideation brief, a charter, a product requirements document, an evaluation report, and the build itself. That’s a portfolio, not a certificate.
Plus one that’s just yours. Every module ends by asking what you’d try next. Those come back to you at the end as an action plan — in your words, about your work, not ours.
🦄 Plan before you code.
