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

Lazar Jovanovic

Lazar has shipped over 30 projects with Lovable and is recognized as one of the leading figures in the build with AI space.

Pat Walls

Founder at Starter Story. Built over 25 apps and digital products that have earned millions in revenue.

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
  
• Design Like a Pro: Use design libraries and templates to make your app look legit
  
• Debugging Made Easy: Learn problem-solving techniques so you’re never stuck
  

AI App Bootcamp gives you a clear framework to focus on the right things, get real feedback, and stay accountable.

Learn In-Demand AI Tools

Lovable • Supabase • GitHub

Once you learn these skills, the sky’s the limit.
Imagine being able to build anything.

The Syllabus

Word on the Street

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

Lebensstory

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.

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!

Johnson Ha

Great community, amazing members, and an accountability platform that ensures that each cohort is focused on shipping, building and growing a business idea.

Amy Porter

This program is unique. You MUST do deep work. You are guided, week by week. It’s so great to finally get an outline that works, that doesn't give you time to get caught up in nonsense, and just prioritizes your time and efforts.

Jérôme

The AI bootcamp completely transformed my productivity through its accountability system. I accomplished more in one month than in the previous 4-5 months combined. Having to regularly share progress eliminated my excuses for procrastination and kept me focused on a single project instead of jumping between ideas.

Bryan Teare

If you’ve seen all the hype about AI but have no idea how to get started, this program is for you. There are so many built-in features to help you make progress - from countdown timers to dripped milestones, leaderboards, and prizes. All online courses should be delivered like this. If you're thinking about it, do it. You won't regret it.

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!

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!

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.

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!
