The Nine Practices
This is for you if...
You're tired of paying for apps that almost do what you want
You'd rather build something small that works than wait for the perfect tool
You're curious about AI but don't want to become a developer
You like making things with your hands (even if they're digital)
You believe in tools that serve you, not the other way around
You want to understand what you're using, not just use it
“We are as gods and might as well get good at it.”— Stewart Brand, Whole Earth Catalog
Common questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. That's the whole point. You'll learn to describe what you want and work with Claude to build it. The guide teaches you how to think about building, not how to write code.
What do I need to get started?
A Claude Pro subscription ($20/month), a text editor (free), and a willingness to tinker. That's it.
How is this different from other AI courses?
Most courses teach you to use AI to be more productive at work. This teaches you to build your own tools for your own life. No hustle, no scale, no optimization. Just useful things.
What if I get stuck?
The guide includes troubleshooting resources and a glossary. You can also join the community Discord to ask questions and share what you're building.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. If it's not for you, email within 30 days for a full refund. No questions.
Ready to build your own tools?
Nine practices. Fifty prompts. A way of thinking that lasts longer than any tool.
