Create an App with AI

Owners, operators, and team leads who run part of the business on spreadsheets, paper forms, or a patchwork of tools, and want a custom app built around how they actually work: a client portal, a booking or intake tool, an internal tracker, or a team dashboard. You scope the app, then build its first working version with an AI assistant, covering the database, the screens, the logins and permissions, and the connections to your other systems, and put it live. Builds on the workstation set up in Build Your Own AI Assistant. Where AI Operations connects the systems you already have, this program builds a new one. A formal coding background is not required, but you should be comfortable working on a computer.

By the end of the program, participants can turn a business process into a written app spec: who uses it, what they do, and the smallest version worth building; design the data model and set up the database the app runs on; build the screens, forms, and lists with an AI assistant, working from the spec; add logins, user roles, and permissions so each person sees only what they should; connect the app to email, your CRM, or other tools, and add an AI feature where it saves real time; test the app, deploy it to a live address, and maintain it with version control and backups.

It runs in two formats, both in-person · on-site at your location (one seat per computer) and hands-on: an Essential session (90-120 min) and the Full program (4-6 hours). Sessions use your own tools and workflows and are scheduled around your team’s working hours.

Two formats, minimum 3 participants, or book solo: Essential (90-120 min) is $2,000 + tax / person, and the Full program (4-6 hours) is $3,000 + tax / person. Eligible B.C. employers can recover up to 80% through the Employer Training Grant, bringing those to roughly $400 and $600 per person after funding. See our Funding page for eligibility and how to apply.

Both cover the same content and include the hands-on assessment and certificate of completion. The Essential session (90-120 min) is a focused, compressed version; the Full program (4-6 hours) covers the same outcomes with more guided practice time on your own tools.

A private on-site session with one seat per computer. Competency is confirmed through a hands-on assessment: each participant deploys a working web app to a live address, with a database, a login with at least two user roles and permissions enforced on the data, one complete create-and-update workflow, and one connection to another system, assessed against a published checklist. Certificate of completion provided. The Full program adds 7 days of follow-up assistance after the session.
