Coming Soon
Now You're Technical:
Build Day
A hands-on workshop where you build a real tool and deploy it to the internet. In one day. A skill that works with any AI platform — today and whatever comes next.
Sound familiar?
You have ideas for tools that would make your life easier.
A quote calculator for your business. A meal planner that handles your family's restrictions. A tracker for your collection. Something — anything — that works exactly the way you need it to.
But you can't code. Developers cost $15,000+. And no-code platforms are somehow still complicated.
So you adapt. You use spreadsheets. You settle for software that's close enough. You tell yourself you'll figure it out someday.
That someday? It's here.
What changed: you don't need to code anymore.
AI can write real, working code now. And deploy it.
Describe what you want
Plain English. No jargon. Explain what you want to build like you would to a friend.
AI builds it
Your tool shows up in seconds — buttons, logic, the whole thing. Ready to use.
Try it instantly
Preview what you've built. Click around. Test it. See if it does what you need.
Ask for changes
"Make the button bigger." "Add a dark mode." "Save results to a file." It makes them.
You don't need to become a programmer. You just need to learn to direct AI that programs for you.
If you can write a clear email, you can build software.
What You're Actually Learning
We use specific tools in the workshop — Claude, Bolt.new — but that's not what you're paying for. You're learning the skill of directing AI builders. That's the whole thing.
Problem Decomposition
Turn your frustrations into clear, buildable specs. Every AI tool needs clear input — so this works everywhere.
AI Communication
Write prompts that actually get what you want. Learn to go back and forth with any AI system until it's right.
Product Ownership
Know what to build, cut scope fast, and recognize when it's done. This is the part AI can't do for you.
Iterative Mindset
Ship ugly, improve later, don't restart. This is how everything good gets built.
Tool-Agnostic Judgment
Know what's buildable, what's hard, and when to use what — regardless of platform.
Tools change constantly. What you're learning here doesn't. It's like driving — the car models change, but you don't re-learn driving every time.
What Happens in the Workshop
You won't sit through slides or watch someone else code. You'll be building something real.
1 hour, virtual
Get your tools set up. Learn the mindset. Decide exactly what you're going to build.
- Account setup and tool access
- Core concepts and frameworks
- Refine your project idea
4 hours, in-person
First, we build simple tools together — using multiple platforms to prove the skill transfers. Then you build YOUR project, with me there when you get stuck.
- Hands-on guided builds
- Build across multiple platforms
- Personal project with live support
- Deploy to the internet
1 hour, virtual
Show what you built. Troubleshoot anything that's not working. Plan what you'll build next.
- Demo your creation
- Troubleshooting session
- Next steps planning
By the end of Build Day, your tool is live on the internet.
What You Get
Your tool, deployed on the internet
Not a demo. Not a mockup. A real URL you can share and use.
The skill to build with any AI platform
Same frameworks work with Claude, Bolt, Lovable, whatever comes next.
Proven frameworks you'll use for years
The Napkin Spec. The Build Loop. You'll still be using these in five years.
30 days of community support
Get help when you're stuck. Share what you're building.
All materials and recordings
Reference guides, prompt templates, session recordings.
Confidence that you can do this
Once you've done it, you know you can do it again — with whatever tool you want.
Is This For You?
This is for you if...
- You've wanted to build a tool but don't know how to code
- You're tired of software that doesn't quite fit your needs
- You're curious what AI can actually build (beyond chatbots)
- You learn best by doing, not watching
- You have a specific problem you want to solve
- You want a skill that won't be obsolete in 6 months
This is NOT for you if...
- You're already a developer (you don't need this)
- You want to build the next Instagram (this is for personal and small business tools)
- You want to learn about AI conceptually (this is practical, not theoretical)
Still unsure? Email me and I'll give you an honest answer.
Who's Teaching This
Hey, I'm Rusty.
I've spent years figuring out how non-technical people can build real tools with AI. I've built dozens myself — business calculators, personal productivity apps, custom trackers.
I started Now You're Technical because I kept meeting smart people who had great ideas but thought they needed to learn to code or hire expensive developers.
They don't. And neither do you.
I want to get you from idea to working tool as fast as possible — and make sure the skill sticks no matter what AI platform you end up using.
Ready to build?
You have an idea for something that should exist.
In one day, it can.
Plus you'll walk away knowing how to do this with any AI platform — not just the ones we use in class.
Get notified when it's ready
Drop your email and I'll let you know when dates are set — you'll get first access.
No spam. Just a heads-up when it's live.
Questions? Email me. I respond personally.
