Most people think building an app requires coding and deep technical skills.
It doesn’t.
With the right approach, AI can build the app for you — you just need to know how to guide it.
That’s why we created AI App Bootcamp — a two-week sprint where you’ll:
✅ Learn how to leverage AI tools to do anything you want
✅ Learn how to think like a developer, designer, and entrepreneur
✅ Ship a real, working product
All alongside a group of motivated builders.
Focus, execute, repeat, win.
The AI App Bootcamp isn’t about hacks — it’s about doing.
Most beginners waste months stuck on technical roadblocks, tweaking buttons, and second-guessing themselves.
The founders that make money focus on building and shipping.
Lovable makes that possible — without needing to master code first.
In just two weeks, you’ll go from idea to real app — faster than ever.
And you won’t be doing it alone.
You’ll be part of a group of founders sharing feedback, insights, and support every step of the way.
Your Instructors
Master the Art (and Science) of Building with AI
Instead of wasting time on tutorials that teach you to build random apps you’ll never use,
this sprint teaches you how to think like a developer and actually use AI tools to build real, working products.
What You’ll Learn
- AI-First Building: How to talk to AI so it builds the app for you
- Scale Without Coding: A documentation-first approach that saves you weeks of trial and error

Designed for people with full-time jobs
This bootcamp is built for people with full-time jobs, families, and busy schedules.
We designed it to be flexible — without losing the structure and accountability that drive results.

I LAUNCHED MY PROJECT!
Roast My MVP
Word on the Street
The AI bootcamp has given me a whole new buzz. I’m waking up early to work on my project, jumping back into it at night, and even spending my weekends building because I genuinely want to. It’s opened my eyes to what’s possible with AI, helped me get much better at prompting, and finally let me test ideas I’ve been sitting on for years.
I started with 0 technical knowledge. By following the steps in the Starter Story program, I built and shipped my first tech product by myself within the week. More importantly, I know have a system, knowledge, and experience to do it again and again.
Amazing experience. The bootcamp cuts through all of the noise you hear online about vibe coding and helps you get straight into building.
This got me moving forward on things I wish I started 3-4 months ago. Thank you!
Just amazing. The structure, tasks, and gamified process has really pushed me to do the necessary work. It is just crazy good.
The accountability and gamification in the bootcamp was such a good motivator. I finally launched my MVP. I also felt like I wasn't doing it alone, thanks to the good vibes and feedback from my cohort and the Starter Story team.
Pat & his team are so close to you during the experience. It felt like a performance sports team where we all work individually and together to make something great happen. Plus - the accountability, content & structure are top notch.
This bootcamp gave me the structure, focus, accountability and motivation I needed to get my first paid customer!
We didn't just learn the theory, we put everything into practice through real-world projects. The bootcamp was challenging but well-paced, highly recommend.
Would highly recommend joining if you're still on the fence about it. You will ship something and you will be pushed to do it. Stop overthinking it, and send it!
