A focused path for people who want to use AI as a thinking partner, evaluate its answers, and build stronger decision habits before deeper project work.
More structure than a meetup. Lighter than Build Studio.
Guided Build gives you four classes to practice the thinking side of building with AI: better context, sharper questions, calmer review, and clearer decisions. It is built for people who want more structure than a free meetup, but do not need the hands-on Build Studio path yet.
Use AI as a thinking partner.
Review before deciding.
Practice the loop.
Four-class shape
Teach the skill, then test it on real work.
Each class starts with a practical concept and real-world examples, then gives students room to apply the habit to a decision, workflow, or idea in front of them.
01
Class 1
Think with AI, not for AI
Learn how to give AI context, ask for useful reasoning, and keep your own judgment in the loop.
02
Class 2
Read the answer before trusting it
Practice spotting gaps, assumptions, confident wrong turns, and missing tradeoffs in AI output.
03
Class 3
Turn decisions into working context
Convert goals, constraints, examples, and review standards into materials AI can follow.
04
Class 4
Practice the loop on your own work
Use the habits on an idea, workflow, or decision and leave with a clearer next step.
Example directions
Guided Build can shape the messy middle.
These examples show the kind of direction a four-class path can clarify. They are examples only, not proof of a specific student outcome.
Guided Build direction
AI research assistant
Create a repeatable research loop for comparing sources, extracting useful details, and spotting weak claims.
Possible artifact
A source-checking routine or research brief
Review question
Which claims need verification before they can be trusted?
Guided Build direction
Simple event or community page
Shape the purpose, audience, copy, and structure for a small public page that explains what is happening.
Possible artifact
A page outline, draft copy, and implementation checklist
Review question
Does the page promise only what is real?
Studio direction
Plain-language prototype plan
Turn a product, service, or workflow idea into a practical prototype plan with boundaries and review steps.
Possible artifact
A scoped build plan with microtasks
Review question
What belongs in the first useful version?
Curriculum examples stay intentionally plain until real sessions create real artifacts, feedback, and consent.
Good fit
For people who want better judgment before deeper building.
You do not need to be advanced. You do need enough curiosity to practice, question AI output, and turn messy thinking into usable context.
Careful AI users
You want AI to help you think, but you do not want to accept every answer at face value.
Idea holders
You have a direction, decision, workflow, or project that needs clearer context before it becomes build work.
Beginner builders
You want the thinking habits that make a future build less chaotic and easier to review.
Returning learners
You want another pass to apply the method to a new decision, workflow, or project stage.
What you leave with
Better prompts, better review, better decisions.
Four guided classes
Class packet and session notes
AI judgment and review checklists
Starter prompts for better reasoning and context
Practice applying the method to your own work

Before payment
Start with a consultation before payment.
Start with the work in front of you. We look at what you are trying to think through, what kind of support you expect, and whether Guided Build is the right level of help. If it is aligned and you want a seat, you receive the payment portal and refund policy before deciding.

Choose the right lane
Guided Build sits between the free meetup and the builder lab.
Choose the lane that matches the support level, timing, and readiness of the work. The consultation keeps that routing clean.
A few things to know before requesting a consultation.
Do I need to attend the free meetup first?
No. The free meetup is an easy entry point, but it is not required before Guided Build.
Do I need to know exactly what I am building?
No. A starting point is enough: an idea, workflow, decision, project direction, or problem you want to think through more clearly.
Can I repeat Guided Build?
Yes. Guided Build is repeatable. Students can use another four-class path for a new direction, a next version, or a specific feature.
Is this a course or a workshop?
It is a four-class course with practice built in. Each class teaches a skill or habit first, then gives you time to test it on your own situation.
When are classes scheduled?
Paid class dates are added after real student scheduling is ready. The public calendar shows free meetups first.
Do I pay before consultation?
No. Payment details are sent only after consultation, alignment, and refund policy review.
What if I miss a class?
The current direction is to provide class notes and a scheduled email-consultation window when needed. Final missed-session and transfer details are shared before payment.
How is this different from Build Studio?
Guided Build teaches the judgment and repeatable habits. Build Studio is the smaller hands-on lab where serious builders apply those habits to one real build.
