Build with usWe tried learning AI alone.
Then we just met up.
Free and live, drop in to any one. I build something real on screen while you build alongside and ask questions. No commitment, just show up.
I drive the Shopify CLI through Claude on screen, working on Brushing Buddies in real time. See how the commands actually work, build alongside, and ask anything. Best if you're already comfortable in the terminal.
Hosted by CarleyA guided curriculum, resources, and docs. Learn in order, not down a rabbit hole.
Group build sessions and drop-in go-lives, plus a portal to ship your own projects.
A Slack community and a pod at your level, building right alongside you.
Are you already coding with AI?
Carley has spent 15+ years in venture capital and tech startups across SF and NYC. Frances is a venture-backed founder who built and exited a D2C brand. We've spent the last two years building with AI in our own work. The biggest unlock was meeting up and working on real projects together.
Carley works in venture capital at Cornell Tech's Runway Startup Postdoc Program, where she invests in PhD founders launching deep tech startups. She's been in tech for 15 years — across CS, design strategy, and product. On the side, she's building small businesses and creating content about entrepreneurship for everyday people.
Frances built and sold a venture-backed consumer brand and now runs three apps while consulting with small businesses on AI workflows. She's been building automated content and marketing pipelines for the past two years and loves figuring out what works for non-developers.
