It's Time to Build.
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

Recent AI progress has made it possible for anyone to build a working prototype regardless of technical skills. But most haven't caught up to this.

Does any of this sound like you?

Stuck Without a Technical Co-Founder

Finding the right person is challenging, so you wait to launch while your idea sits on the shelf.

Burning Money on Freelancers

You hire someone on Upwork, wait weeks, and end up with something that doesn't match your vision.

Trying to Figure It Out Alone

YouTube tutorials and no-code tools get you demos, not functioning products.

Moving Way Too Slowly

Every month without a testable product costs you runway, money, and first-mover advantage. Speed is survival.

The Format

Learn to Deploy AI Tools
ALONGSIDE OTHER FOUNDERS

This program assigns you to teams so you can build together, just as you would at a real company.

Build

Create & Ship

Take a raw concept and turn it into a working prototype using AI tools. Go from idea to deployed product in hours, not months.

Validate

Pressure-Test & Refine

Play investor, customer, and skeptic. Poke holes in each other's products, sharpen the pitch, and stress-test viability.

You'll take turns both building and pressure-testing, validating each other's tools until you get it right in fast-paced mini sprints.

The Curriculum

3 Phases. 3 FRIDAYS.

Each session builds on the last. By the end, you won't just understand AI building. You'll have shipped something real.

01 Mar 20 · 2–5pm

Define Your Product & Start Building

Go from "I have an idea" to a working first prototype.

  • Map out what you're building: the problem, the user, the product
  • Learn to direct AI tools like a team, not just a chatbot
  • Write a mini business requirements doc for your MVP
  • Get assigned to your team and start your first build sprint
  • Walk out of session one with a rough prototype in progress
02 Mar 27 · 2–5pm

Iterate, Test & Rebuild

Ship fast, get feedback faster.

  • Rapid iteration sprints to add features and fix gaps
  • Write a mini product requirements doc to guide your build
  • Swap roles: pressure-test each other's products as investors and users
  • Get real-time feedback and make pivot decisions on the spot
  • Rebuild based on what you learned, stronger this time
03 Apr 3 · 2–5pm

Deploy & Present Your Product

Ship it live. Then defend it.

  • Final build sprint: polish your MVP and push it live
  • Deploy a real, working product to the internet
  • Present to the group and pitch what you've built
  • Get direct feedback from Guillaume and your peers
  • Leave with a deployed product, not a slide deck

Additional Virtual Office Hours

Fridays 12–1pm on March 26, April 2, and April 9. Get unblocked between sessions, debug with Guillaume, and keep your momentum going.

What Can You ACTUALLY BUILD?

Here are a handful of examples of products you could ship right now.

An AI Assistant for Your Brand

A chatbot trained on your product or catalog that handles customer questions 24/7.

A Niche Marketplace or Directory

Connect creators with brands, match freelancers to projects, or build a curated community directory.

A Content Repurposing Tool

Turn podcast episodes or long-form content into social posts, newsletters, and clips. Automatically.

An Internal Ops Dashboard

Track leads, manage inventory, or monitor KPIs. Built for how your business actually works.

A Lead Generation Tool

An interactive quiz, calculator, or assessment that captures emails and qualifies prospects on your site.

Your Own SaaS Prototype

Whatever your startup idea is, you'll have a working version live on the internet by week three.

...and whatever else you can dream up.
What You Leave With

Your Own Shipped Product.
A DEPLOYED MVP.

Every participant walks out with tangible, usable outcomes. Not notes from a workshop.

A Deployed MVP

A real, working product that's live on the internet. Not a mockup, not a prototype locked in a sandbox. Something you can share and test today.

Stress-Tested Viability

Your idea has been pressure-tested by peers playing investor, customer, and skeptic. You'll know what holds up and what needs work.

The AI Builder Skillset

The operational mindset of 2026: how to architect business logic and manage AI as your workforce. You'll never need to wait on a developer again.

Direct Expert Feedback

Personalized guidance from Guillaume and your cohort throughout the build process. Targeted feedback on your specific product.

Guillaume Tourneur
Your Instructor

Guillaume Tourneur

Guillaume is a Principal AI Product Builder and founder of AIGEN Consulting, where he's delivered multi-agent AI systems for clients across media, healthcare, sports tech, and private equity. He calls himself a "Natural Language Programmer," someone who translates business logic into autonomous AI workflows without writing traditional code.

His track record includes building custom AI teams that cut production costs by 75%, launching a global digital health platform with 135,000+ users at Movember, and leading AI product strategy at OutcomeMD, where he helped secure $3.7M in funding. He currently leads AI enablement workshops and training at ALO in Beverly Hills.

Guillaume doesn't teach prompting. He teaches you to architect AI systems the way he builds them for real companies. If you can describe what you want to build, he'll show you how to ship it.

Who This Is For

Built for Solo Founders,
CREATORS & OPERATORS.

This is for you if...

  • You're a solo founder who wants to get to MVP fast, without a technical hire
  • You've used AI tools but don't know how to turn experiments into a real product
  • You're a creator or visionary who's tired of being bottlenecked by technology
  • You'd rather DIY than dilute equity for an early technical hire

This is not for you if...

  • You're a technical founder who already has a built product ready for validation
  • You're looking for a passive learning experience. This is full-contact building
  • You want theory and frameworks. We're here to ship, not study

FAQ

COMMON QUESTIONS

No. This workshop is designed for non-technical founders who want to build using AI. You don't need to write code. You need to think clearly about what you're building and why. Guillaume will show you how to translate that thinking into a deployed product.

An idea, even a rough one. A problem you've been thinking about, a product concept, or a business you want to prototype. You'll also want a laptop with internet access.

You'll be assigned to a team each session. Some participants focus on building a working prototype using AI tools, while others play the role of investors, customers, and advisors, pressure-testing viability and sharpening the pitch. Teams rotate, so you'll experience both sides.

Prompting courses teach you to talk to AI. This workshop teaches you to build with it. The focus is on the operational mindset: architecting business logic, managing AI as a workforce, and shipping a real product. You'll leave with a deployed MVP, not just better prompts.

Yes. The goal is a deployed prototype you can share, test, and iterate on after the workshop. It won't be a finished SaaS product, but it will be a real, functional MVP that's been stress-tested by your peers.

Office hours happen the week after each main session (Fridays 12–1pm). They're a chance to get unblocked, debug issues, and get guidance from Guillaume as you continue building between sessions.

If You Can Think It,
YOU CAN SHIP IT.

Three Fridays. One deployed product. Stop waiting for permission to build.
