Access to AI Tools (free)

A curiosity about AI app tools—and a willingness to let go of the dream that you too will vibe-code a startup and get acquired for $30M.

Curiosity and no BS

Busy professionals who keep hearing about AI app tools but don’t have time to chase hype.

Tech-adjacent folks (marketing, ops, content) who want to build something—but don’t code and aren’t sure where to start.

Side hustlers and freelancers curious if vibe coding can actually lead to usable apps—or money.
