About

Most business owners either hire a developer before they know what they're building, or try to build alone with no guardrails and end up with something a developer can't touch. There's a better path.

In this live, hands-on bootcamp, you'll build your idea yourself in an AI tool like Lovable, Bolt, or Replit. If you can use a web browser, you can do this. You'll work with AL Del Degan, CTO and Co-Founder of New Idea Machine, and his guardrails framework: instructions that tell the AI what it may and may not do, so you avoid the security gaps and dead ends that sink most self-built projects.

Build and test your idea without spending $30K on a developer. (Hiring one to build the same thing starts around $20,000.)

You could leave with:

A working prototype: a dashboard, client portal, booking tool, or the first version of a product you want to sell
Tools that track your business: a customer list, intake form, or inventory tracker, pulling in information from the tools and sites you already use
Professionally designed PDFs: proposals, reports, lead magnets, and client-facing documents, generated without design software
Client portals, custom calculators, business dashboards, and automated follow-ups

What's included:

Four hours live with our instructor
AL's guardrails, from the first prompt
Prompts, cheat sheets, and step-by-step instructions to keep
30 days of Slack support (we troubleshoot with you, but we don't build it for you)
A clear path forward: what to build next and what to hand to a developer when you're ready

Who it's for: Business owners with a little AI familiarity and no coding experience who want to build their own digital assets.

Social proof: "If you'd have told me that I would walk out of that course having a prototype of an app built, I would have said you were crazy." — Joe Gleason, Gleason Financial Group
