Build Your App in the Era of AI
Idea to a live waitlist page in four weeks, with the prompts we use on client builds. No code, no dev shop, nothing to unlearn.

WHAT’S INSIDE
Four weeks between an idea and something investors can touch
You do not need a team to ship. You need the right sequence and the taste to judge what AI produces. The guide is that sequence: positioning first, then brand, then the key flows, then a landing page that collects proof while you build.
Read it in twenty minutes. Every week comes with the exact prompts, so you can run it yourself.
01
Week 0: the Positioning Doc
One afternoon that briefs every AI session for the next four weeks. Your customer in their own words, the competitor gap, your UVP. Skip it and you build the wrong screens twice.
02
Week 1: the brand, in four decisions
Not a brand book. Voice, a visual kit, a wordmark, a mini design system. The four things that make a stranger take you seriously in ten seconds.
03
Weeks 2 and 3: the key flows
Signup to first value, the core loop, the moment of payment. Designed with AI, judged by you, wired into a prototype your developers build from once.
04
Week 4: the landing page, live
Up before the app exists, in waitlist mode. The signup count is the traction number for your next investor conversation.

Helios raised $1.94M on this build order
Helios Hockey came to us with an idea and no product. We built the brand, the key flows and the investor materials, and they raised 1.94 million dollars with them. Momo Self Care launched on flows we designed and matched Duolingo’s day-30 retention in its first 90 days, with a 5.0 App Store rating across 1,300 plus reviews. Q.AI, which we worked with from its early days, was acquired by Forbes.

From idea to something people can touch
Numbers verified with the founders before they went on this page.
WHO THIS IS FOR
For founders with a validated idea, not a finished product
You are a founder with a validated idea and no product yet, or a v1 you are about to rebuild
Something real sits behind the idea: conversations, a waitlist, early users. Not conviction alone
The money to build it exists or is being raised
You want to know what to build first, in what order, before you spend on a team
Make the idea visible before you raise
Twenty minutes to read, four weeks to run. You will know exactly what to build first, in what order, and what a stranger needs to see to take you seriously.
The exact build order behind our four-week engagements. Free, and yours to run alone.
