Live Workshop

Turn AI Prototypes Into Live Products

A live, intensive workshop for builders who want to take their Claude Code projects from working demo to deployed, customer-ready app.

Build in Next.js, deploy on Vercel. Real databases, real authentication, real infrastructure—platforms AI models know well.

Limited to 20 seats

Workshop starts in

Production-ready app workshop

A note from Ryan

You've already built something with Claude Code. Maybe a small app, a prototype, a tool that works on your machine. That's a huge step—but you know there's a gap between "it works for me" and "other people can actually use this."

Most people hit a wall when they try to go from demo to real product. Authentication, databases, hosting, deployment—the stuff that turns a prototype into software. It feels like a completely different skill set, and for most people, that's where the momentum dies.

It doesn't have to. Over one full day, we'll walk you through the entire journey from working prototype to live, production-ready app. You'll set up real infrastructure—databases, auth, front-end and back-end architecture—and deploy something that actual users can access.

Here's what I want you to understand: the tools have changed. What used to require a full engineering team can now be built by one person with Claude Code and the right patterns. But you need to know the patterns. That's what we'll do together.

Not just a finished project, but a repeatable process you can use for anything you want to build next. If you've already gotten started with Claude Code and you're ready to build things that actually ship—this is your next step.

Frequently asked questions

No, but you should have spent at least 10 hours hands-on with Claude Code. This workshop moves quickly and assumes you're comfortable with the basics. If you've never tried Claude Code before, check out our Claude Code Playbook first.

That's exactly why this workshop exists. We'll walk you through everything step by step. You don't need prior experience with databases or authentication—Claude Code handles the complexity while you learn the concepts.

You'll build a production-ready web application with user authentication, a database backend, and live deployment. The exact project depends on your goals, but you'll leave with something real that other people can access and use.

No. This workshop is specifically designed for non-developers who want to ship real products. If you can describe what you want in plain English and follow step-by-step guidance, you'll succeed.

We care about your experience. If for any reason you're not satisfied, you can request a refund at any time during the day—no questions asked.

Absolutely. We offer group pricing for teams of 3 or more. Get in touch and we'll sort you out.
