Build AI Tools
01

Building & Teaching

For the past decade, I've been bringing people's ideas to life through software. Now I see an opportunity to do that at scale by teaching people how to use AI to take their own vision and implement it themselves.

I've always built my own tools because it's an underrated way of letting your brain work how it wants to work. Now I'm teaching others to do the same. Build AI Tools is my experiment in teaching anybody to build their vision and amplify their productivity and creativity by building their own tools and automations with AI.
