You can just build things.
Even if you've never written code.
The beginner's guide to making real tools, automations and side projects with AI, starting from an empty screen this weekend.
You keep thinking "someone should build a tool for this." With AI, that someone can be you. This weekend, no degree required.
What you'll actually build
You finish with things that run, not with notes.
Every chapter turns a vague idea into something real. Readers with zero coding background have already shipped all of these.

A repeatable loop, not a pile of tricks.
No jargon, no computer science detours. You learn one rhythm and reuse it on everything you build after.
Describe what you want the way you'd tell a colleague, phrased so the AI gets it right.
See the result, read errors calmly, get yourself unstuck instead of hoping.
The three step loop for improving anything, from a checklist to a full app.
Two full projects walk you from idea to a link you can share.

From Lenny's mentoring
People he coached, now building on their own.
The book puts the same hands on mentoring that got these people shipping directly into your hands.
"I built an automation that reads incoming client emails and shows me where our quoting process gets stuck. Now I know exactly which step slows deals down."
"It helped me clearly see the weak spots in my shop. Now I reach customers online too, not just in the store."
"I automated the status data from our servers and projects, so now I can see exactly where the weak points are at a glance."

Ask Lenny directly →01I've never coded. Is this really for me?+
This is not only about programming. AI is brilliant at code, but automating with AI helps in plenty of other areas too. It has already helped a clothing shop in Prague and a carpenter analysing how he communicates with his customers. Every example starts from zero.
02What do I need to get started?+
A laptop, an internet connection, and about an hour a week. The tools used in the book have free tiers, so you can start without spending anything extra.
03Is it a physical book or a download?+
It's a digital ebook (PDF + EPUB). You get instant access right after checkout and can read it on any device.
04How long does it take to finish?+
You can read it in a weekend, but that's not the point. A teaching book works like a cookbook: when you hit a problem, you open the chapter that covers it. Your desk is your kitchen, and this is your cookbook for working with AI.
05What if it's not for me?+
You're covered by a 14 day money back guarantee. Read it, try the projects, and if it doesn't help you build something, email for a full refund, no questions asked.
