Build Your First Product With AI
A hands-on path from first prompt to a real, structured product — architecture, project structure, and the failure patterns to watch for before they cost you a rebuild.
Outcomes
- Set up a real project structure before you start prompting
- Recognize the exact failure pattern that shows up when speed outruns architecture
- Ship a first version and know what actually broke, and why
Modules
A battle-tested folder structure for AI-assisted projects — organised for clarity, context efficiency, and the kind of codebase that stays navigable as your product grows.
A step-by-step setup guide for solo builders using Claude Code — covering project structure, CLAUDE.md configuration, custom commands, and the workflow patterns that keep AI-assisted development fast and focused.
The structural thinking every AI-assisted builder needs — how to organise your codebase, manage state, and make decisions that don't collapse under pressure.
The architectural decisions that separate vibe-coded projects that survive from ones that quietly fall apart — and why structure, data design, and security need to come before any feature work begins.
A behind-the-scenes look at three real AI-assisted builds this year — Product Slice HQ, Product Nerve AI, and AttriHub — including what broke, what it cost in time and patience, and what all three taught me.
