👥 Join 12,495 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 a 12-day 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.

GPT-4o Image Bootcamp is not about some hack. 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.

In just two weeks, you'll go from idea to real app — faster than ever.

The Framework

Master the Art (and 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.

What You’ll Learn

  • AI-First Building: How to talk to AI so it builds the app for you.
  • Scale Without Coding: 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.

GPT-4o Image Bootcamp gives you a clear framework to focus on the right things, get feedback, and stay accountable.

Here are just some of the tools you'll master
and many more...

    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!

    Mattias Malki

    Just amazing. The structure, tasks, and gamified process has really pushed me to do the necessary work. It is just crazy good.

    Devon Neill

    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.

    Ana M. Pricop

    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.

    Denny Vuong

    This bootcamp gave me the structure, focus, accountability and motivation I needed to get my first paid customer!

    Joshua Sinclair

    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.

    James Newman

    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!
