SAME VISION. A BRIGHTER TOMORROW.
Choose your cohort
Pick the dates that fit.
Complimentary snacks and drinks will be available throughout the workshop. Participants will also have access to a break room equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and air fryer. Short breaks will be taken throughout the day as needed.
The premise
Stop reading about AI.
Spend two weekends building with it.
Most people are learning how to use AI. Foundations teaches you how to build with it. This is not a passive lecture, not prompt-list training, not a generic AI overview, and not a coding bootcamp. It is hands-on, oriented around real business problems, and built around understanding the whole system while you build something of your own.
What you'll learn
Six outcomes, all of them things you can do on Monday.
Work Effectively With AI
Understand how to give AI the context and direction needed for real build work, not just clever prompts.
Turn a Problem Into a Build
Break an idea or workflow into something software can actually solve, step by step.
Build Working Software
Create interfaces, logic, data flows, and functional systems with AI-assisted tools.
Connect the Pieces
Understand how frontend, backend, database, APIs, and automation work together as one system.
Debug What Breaks
Learn how to investigate failures instead of blindly asking AI to try again.
Ship and Keep Building
Leave with a working build and a repeatable process for continuing after the workshop.
The workshop
Two weekends, four working days, one finished build.
Short teaching blocks, long build blocks, and coaching while your hands are on the keyboard.
Day 1
Foundations & Fluency
- How AI-assisted building actually works
- Prompting vs. context and when each matters
- Understanding the tools and their roles
- Breaking down problems into buildable pieces
- Making your first build decisions
Day 2
Your First Working Build
- Designing the interface
- Structuring the project
- Wiring up the logic
- Working with real data
- Making something actually function
Day 3
Automation & Integration
- Working with databases
- Connecting APIs
- Using webhooks
- Building automation
- Connecting systems into one flow
Day 4
Ship, Show, Sustain
- Testing what you built
- Debugging what breaks
- Deployment
- Understanding what was built
- How to keep improving it on your own
The format
Bring your laptop. We're building.
Your hands stay on the keyboard. The instructor works directly with each student in a deliberately small room, demonstrating live, then watching you do it yourself, then troubleshooting with you when it breaks. Questions get answered in the room, in the moment, against your own build.
- Concept
- Demo
- Student Build
- Troubleshoot
- Review
Your instructor
Ben S.
Business operator. Entrepreneur. AI-assisted software builder.
Who's teaching
Taught by a builder, not a lecturer.
Ben built a seven-figure ecommerce business and came to software the way most builders do: real business problems needed solutions. Today he actively builds real AI-assisted software, working across architecture, databases, APIs, automation, payments, security, debugging, and deployment.
That matters if you're new to this: you're learning from someone who approached software from the business side and had to figure out how the whole system fits together, the same path you're on now.
Who it's for
This is for you if...
- You use AI but want to do more than ask it questions.
- You have ideas but don't know how to turn them into working software.
- You run or work inside a business and see processes that could be improved.
- You've tried Lovable or other AI-building tools but get lost when things become complicated.
- You want to understand the whole system well enough to direct AI instead of blindly trusting it.
- You don't come from a traditional coding background.
This is not intended as an advanced software-engineering course. It's the starting point for people who want to build, whatever their background.
Questions
Before you enroll
Do I need to know how to code?
No. There is no traditional coding prerequisite. The workshop is built for non-engineers and technical people alike. If you can describe your work clearly and use everyday software, you can build here.
What should I bring?
A laptop you can install software on, a charger, and ideally one real process, problem, or idea from your work or business. We supply the environment, the tools, and the coaching.
Where is the workshop?
In person at our workshop space in New Berlin, Wisconsin. There is no remote or video option because the format depends on being in the room.
How many people are in the room?
The room holds ten people and enrollment is capped at eight seats. It is small on purpose because coaching a live build takes attention, and every person gets time with the instructor.
What will I leave with?
A working build, an understanding of how the whole system fits together, and a repeatable process for making the next one, plus your notes and the tool list.
Is this just a ChatGPT/prompting class?
No. Prompting is one small piece. Foundations is about building real software and automation: interfaces, logic, data, APIs, debugging, and deployment, with AI as your build partner.
Can my company pay for my seat?
Yes. Companies regularly sponsor an employee's seat. Reach out at admin@klyent.app and we'll work out the details.
What if I cannot attend both weekends?
Enrollment commits you to both weekends because the build carries over from one to the next. If something comes up, seats may be transferred to a future cohort under the Refund & Transfer Policy. Read it before enrolling.
