# AppBuilder Academy

> Step-by-step online course that teaches non-technical founders how to build, publish, monetize, and grow a real mobile app using AI tools and no-code platforms — no traditional coding required.

AppBuilder Academy is a self-paced video course (29 lessons across 12 modules, ~5 hours of video) plus six AI-powered tools and a personal AI tutor named Nova. Students go from raw idea to a published App Store / Play Store app in roughly 6–12 weeks. The curriculum was built for first-time founders, side-hustlers, and career-switchers who want to ship a product instead of trade time for money.

## What students get

- 29 video lessons organized into 12 modules (validation → launch → growth)
- Six AI tools: Day Zero Assessment, App Store Crystal Ball, Prompt Converter, Legal Docs Generator, ASO Translator, Improve Prompt
- Nova, an AI tutor that has the curriculum + your assessment + your Crystal Ball context loaded
- Lifetime access, certificate of completion, lesson transcripts, in-lesson notes, lesson quizzes
- Resources: Starter Prompts library, Launch Checklist
- One-time price: $499 (no subscription, no upsell)

## Who it's for

- Aspiring founders with an idea but no engineering background
- Side-hustle seekers who want recurring income from a product
