- 30 minutes a day with your tutor, on the free plan
- Remembers where you left off and what you've told your tutor about yourself
- Certificate included anyone can check it online
How it works
- Your tutor introduces an idea, a piece at a time, then hands you one small puzzle about it, often from something you want to build.
- You think it through, out loud or by typing. You don't need to know the answer: your tutor helps you along and tells you when you're close.
- Step by step, it adds up. Your tutor remembers your past sessions and what you've shared, and picks up where you left off.
What you'll understand
- What an AI model is really doing as it writes, and when to trust what it gives you
- Why your job becomes saying what you want and judging the result, while the AI writes the code
- How to plan a product with AI before anything is built, and notice when it drifts off course
- How to set up an AI coding partner, and keep several working side by side while you oversee them
- What sits behind an app: the screen you see, the server it talks to, and the database that remembers
You don't need to know how to code. The course begins with what an AI model is and how it works. It draws on real projects, including how Epivo itself was built. See the full course →
Hear how a Build with AI lesson starts
Let's start with the tool you'll build with. You type a request to an AI model, and full sentences come back. So here's my first question for you. What do you think the model is actually doing as it writes each word? Tell me what you think, and we'll see where it leads.
What it costs

Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Thirty minutes a day with your tutor, and no card. Paid plans add more time if you ever want it.
Is my tutor a real person?
No. Your tutor is an AI that talks with you, follows a planned course and remembers your past sessions.
How do I know the lessons are accurate?
Before written lesson material reaches you, an AI checks its key facts against independent published sources, and a second AI re-checks anything flagged. Your tutor is instructed to teach from that material and to tell you when unsure: an instruction, not a guarantee. And you can check for yourself: tap Sources in the lesson menu and pick a session to see what it drew on, including links to the original sources.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?
ChatGPT answers what you ask. Your tutor leads the way: a planned route through building software with AI, one question at a time, picking up where you left off.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The course assumes you don't. One part of it gives you just enough of how software works, from files and servers to databases and how apps talk to each other, to follow what your AI is building and why.
What will I need to build something?
A computer and a paid account for your AI coding partner. You learn in conversation on your phone, and you build on a computer. The course mainly uses Claude Code, which works inside a free code editor called VS Code and needs a paid Claude plan (or a paid Anthropic API account) of its own; the course helps you choose one. You'll also learn how the main AI models differ, such as GPT, Claude and Gemini. Most of the course is about how you work, so it carries over to other tools.
Is it on iPhone?
Not yet. Epivo runs on Android today. Open this page on an iPhone and you can leave your email; we'll tell you when the iPhone app is ready.
Bring an idea you'd like to build. Work out the rest together.
When you start, tell your tutor you want Build with AI, and your first lesson begins with what the AI behind tools like ChatGPT really is, and how it works.
