What you’ll learn
No-code and low-code AI tools let you build faster, but the real work is still product thinking: choosing the right workflow, structuring inputs, connecting tools, testing outputs, and keeping the system from becoming a glittery spreadsheet goblin.
Build simple AI products, internal tools, dashboards, workflows, and prototypes with visual builders.
Connect forms, databases, docs, emails, models, and apps into repeatable AI-assisted workflows.
Test ideas quickly before spending months building something nobody asked for. A radical concept.
Learn where no-code tools shine, where they break, and when it is time to bring in custom code.
