👥 Join 10,770 builders shipping apps with AI — without hiring a developer or designer.

The Shift

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 others.

Take Action

Focus, execute, repeat, win.

AI App Bootcamp is NOT about some hack. It is 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 a real app, faster than ever.
And you won't be doing it alone. You'll be part of a group of founders, all sharing feedback, insights, and support every step of the way.

The Framework

Master The Art (& Science) Of Building with AI

Instead of wasting time on tutorials that show you how to build a random app you'll never use, this sprint teaches you how to think like a developer and actually use AI tools to build real, working products.

• Scale Without Coding: The documentation-first approach that saves you weeks of trial and error.
• Design Like a Pro: Use design libraries and templates to make your app look legit.
• Debugging Made Easy: Problem-solving techniques so you're never stuck.

Word on the street

Here's what people are saying about their experience
Adam Rosato

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.

Abdul Bidiwi
LegacyTextAI

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.

Manny Ureno

Amazing experience. The bootcamp cuts through all of the noise you hear online about vibe coding and helps you get straight into building.

Rahul Kahani

This got me moving forward on things I wish I started 3-4 months ago. Thank you!

Greg Miliatis

Committing to this program actually got me off the sidelines & taking action. In the past, I'd have an idea like this, then sit on it for months without doing anything. This changed everything for me.

Jordan Castellani
MenoSync

This bootcamp gives you a roadmap and structure that sets any project up for success in terms of taking an idea and turning it into a real website/app/product. Once you have the framework, you can rinse and repeat until you hit 'that' idea.

Teo Coste

The AI Bootcamp was a game-changer for me. I gained hands-on experience with tools like Lovable and Supabase, learned how to validate ideas, and built a real project. Clear, practical, and inspiring, highly recommended!

Nicola Murru

It’s amazing how quickly you can build a real app without knowing any code (with auth, database, payments) just by following the prompts and tips from the camp. Hands down the best course I’ve ever taken!

David Efhan

I've accomplished more than I ever have and learned a lot along the way. Most importantly, I've made PROGRESS and finally have enough momentum to launch my idea.

Benjamin Beverly

Being part of the AI Build Bootcamp has been an amazing experience. I came in eager to dive into AI's latest capabilities, and I left with a fully launched project. Big thanks to Lazar and the Starter Story community for their support and for keeping all of us on track!
