After Hours Builders

Course

Ship your first AI product in 30 days.

This is the first structured product surface for After Hours Builders: a course that starts with ecosystem clarity and ends with a shipped product, a public URL, and first-user outreach.

Module 0

The AI Ecosystem, Demystified

The course begins with the mental model from the project documents: AI products fall into models, harnesses, and access. Beginners start with one frontier subscription, then add APIs or routers only when their own product needs them.

Days 1-3

The Stack

This doubles as the free lead magnet. It teaches the practical starter stack before deeper product work begins.

Week 1

The Idea

The buyer is an employed professional. Their domain context is the advantage, so the course pushes them toward mundane workflow pain instead of guru-style passive income ideas.

Week 2

The Build

This is the moat chapter. It turns AI coding from magic into a workflow: goal, context, small task, run, inspect, fix, verify.

Week 3

Ship It

The product does not need to be complete. It needs to be coherent enough for a real person to understand, try, and respond to.

Week 4

First 10 Users

Organic content and direct outreach are the honest fit for a $35/month community before there is proof or ad economics.

After Day 30

Iterate or Kill

After 30 days, the member should have more than an app. They should have evidence, reusable assets, and a sharper sense of what to build next.
