Turn your understanding of data, metrics and business requirements into applications other people can use.
/apps · live masterclass series · 4 Nov – 14 Dec 2026
From ideas to real business applications with AI.
Watch four complete business applications built live with AI. Ask questions throughout, then build your own version with the step-by-step build guide, tested prompts and source code.
✓No programming experience required. Designed for business professionals, analysts and consultants.
/the-approach
Not a prompt-writing course. An app-building course.
AI is used across the whole development process, not just to write a better prompt. You'll see how a business need becomes a working application: requirements, code, APIs, databases, interface, automation and deployment, with every decision explained as it happens.
/requirements→/code→/apis→/database→/interface→/automation→/deploy
Prototype working tools for clients, not just specifications and slides.
Turn recurring business problems into practical tools, without first becoming a software developer.
/masterclasses
Four applications. One complete build per session.
Each two-hour session builds a different application with different tools and techniques. Interface previews are illustrative.

/how-it-works
See every decision. Not just the finished result.
Every masterclass follows the same development journey, but the technology and challenges change with each application. You'll see how the tools fit together, how problems are solved, and how the finished application takes shape.
Start with the problem
The business requirement, the intended users, and what the application needs to deliver.
Choose the building blocks
How the AI tools, APIs, data sources, database and interface will work together.
Create the working app
AI-assisted coding, data integration, interface development and automation, in context.
Test and deliver
Testing, troubleshooting what fails, refining the result and preparing it for deployment.
Different apps.
Different techniques.
// AI tools · Python · APIs · databases · automation · deployment
Financial analysis introduces market-data APIs and Python processing. Governance structures metrics, definitions and reports, with AI document analysis. HR brings approval workflows, calendars and automated emails. Forecasting adds predictive modelling and scenario planning. Four different builds, not the same tutorial four times.
What you’ll receive
Everything you need to follow the demonstrated process and build your own version of the application.
- Complete masterclass recording
- Detailed step-by-step build guide
- All tested AI prompts, in development order

/faq
Questions.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The series is designed for business and data professionals who aren't software developers. The emphasis is on seeing the process and understanding the decisions behind each application.
Will I be coding along during the live session?
No. You watch the application being built live and can ask questions throughout. Afterwards you receive the step-by-step build guide, the tested prompts in development order, the source code and the deployment instructions, so you can build your own version at your own pace.
When are the sessions, and in which time zone?
Wednesday 4 November, Wednesday 18 November, Monday 30 November and Monday 14 December 2026, from 18:00 to 20:00 Paris time (CET). That is 17:00–19:00 in London and 12:00–14:00 in New York.
What if I can't attend a session I've booked?
You still receive the complete recording and all the build materials for that session.
Can I buy just the recording?
Yes. After each live session, the recording and complete project files are available for $59. After the series, all four are available together for $179.
Can I book a single session?
Yes. The first masterclass, Financial Market Analysis, is $49. The other three are $79 each. The complete live series is $199.
What tools will be used?
Each build uses a different combination of AI-assisted development tools, APIs, Python, databases and deployment services, chosen to suit the application.
