Most people hit a wall past the first prototype.

AI coding tools make the first hour feel like magic. Then the login does not really work, the database is imaginary, the app only runs on your laptop, and every fix breaks two other things. That wall is not a tools problem. It is a process problem, and process is what this course teaches.

What you walk away with

This is a real build, not a tour of features. Every lesson moves the app forward.

  • A live Reddit clone you built, deployed on Vercel with a Supabase database and real authentication.
  • Fluency with the three tools that matter right now: Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
  • A working mental model of models, reasoning, speed, and usage limits, so you pick the right tool for each job.
  • A repeatable process: plan it, let the AI verify each step, then polish it until it looks like a real product.

From members

4.9 from 400+ reviews.

It's a no-brainer. Smaller payment than my developer, and the curriculum just clicked.

Dustin Stout, founder of Magai

No fluff. A very practical, hands-on guide to how you actually build applications.

No Code MBA member

Highly recommended, especially to those like me coming from a non-technical marketing background. Seth has built an incredible resource.

  • Operators and marketers who are done waiting on the engineering queue.
  • Anyone who has tried vibe coding and hit a wall past the first prototype.

Questions

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You never hand-write code. You direct Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, and the course teaches you enough about how an app fits together to direct them well.

Which tools and subscriptions do I need?

A Claude or ChatGPT subscription for Claude Code or Codex, plus free accounts on GitHub, Vercel, and Supabase. Cursor is optional. The course shows all three so you can pick.

Mac or Windows?

Both. Everything runs in a terminal and a browser.

How long does it take?

About an hour of video. Most people finish the build in an afternoon, then keep going with their own idea.

Is this the same as the YouTube channel?

The channel is where we react to what shipped this week. The course is the ordered path with a real build, nothing skipped, kept current as the tools change.

What if it is not for me?

Sixty days, full refund, no questions.

Start with an empty folder. Finish with a live app.
