Cohort 16

Cohort 17

Bootcamp for non-technical professionals:Learn the skills to turn any idea into a working product.🗓️ Reserve Your Spot for cohort 17 → starting June 8<h2>Why This Bootcamp?</h2>You’ve got great ideas, but you are always dependent on others to build them.You don't want wait to jump on business and career opportunities.The AI space is overwheling, and you are not sure where to start.<h2>This bootcamp changes that:</h2>✅ Step-by-step guidance ✅ Zero coding skills required ✅ Designed to fit your schedule ✅ Battle-tested, with 1600+ bootcamp students<h2>What to expect:</h2>Our Bootcamp is a beginner-friendly onramp:👉 Learn the skills to build with AI 👉 Daily bite-sized lessons to get the reps in 👉 Ship your first products in 2.5 weeks<h2>Your outcomes:</h2>Tools come and go, so we focus on the skills you need.These skills transfer to whatever tool you use, whether that's Lovable, Replit, Bolt, Codex or Claude Code.The real value is that you learn how to think like a builder.You'll walk away with two working products, a real understanding of how software works, and the confidence to build whatever comes next 💪⚠️ We currently teach using Lovable and Claude Code because they're the best tools for the job right now.

Learn how to build real products by yourself (no coding skills needed)

Learn how to build real products with AI

Walk away with two working, full-stack products

Get expert help and real support

Gain skills you can use anywhere

This course is for you, if you're coming from a non-technical background and can't code (like product managers, marketeers and designers)

This bootcamp is perfect for you, if you want to learn real skills that are transferable across all the different vibe coding tools.

If you want more autonomy and freedom in your work, this bootcamp is for you!

Walk in with a problem. Walk out with a working prototype.

In 4 hours, you will research a real user problem, write a PRD that survives three senior reviewers, and build a working prototype -- without writing a single line of code yourself.This is not a lecture. You build the entire time.<h3>🗓️ Upcoming Cohorts</h3><ul><li>May 11 | 💻 Zoom Remote<ul><li>Lead: Marily | [101]</li></ul></li><li>May 16 | ☕ Seattle (In-person + Zoom)<ul><li>Lead: Diego | [ADVANCED]</li></ul></li><li>June | 🏛️ Athens (In-person + Zoom)<ul><li>Lead: Marily | [101] | Language: Greek</li></ul></li><li>July 17 | 💻 Virtual Only<ul><li>Lead: Diego | [101] | Language: Spanish / En Español</li></ul></li><li>July 21 | 💻 Virtual Only<ul><li>[ADVANCED]</li></ul></li><li>August 21 | 🏙️ Mountain View (In-person + Zoom)<ul><li>Lead: Marily | [101]</li></ul></li></ul>We will do this in-person but you can also join via zoom from anywhere!By the end of this session, you will have four real artifacts on your laptop:<ol><li>User research backed by real complaints from real people</li><li>A PRD with sections filled from actual evidence</li><li>A working prototype running in your browser with real UI, real sample data, and enough polish to show your stakeholders on Monday</li></ol>You also keep a GitHub repo with reusable templates and tools that work on any project, not just the workshop example.

PMs who want to move faster You use AI but haven't made it part of your daily workflow. Leave with reusable tools for PRDs, and reports.

PMs who want to prototype You have ideas but depend on engineering to see them built. Leave with a working prototype you built yourself.

Founders and builders Evaluating whether a problem is worth solving. Leave with user evidence, a PRD, and a prototype to make the call.

A lot of “vibe coding” ends in the same place: a prototype that looks like an app, but can’t become a serious product.If you’ve built in React Native (or a web-wrapper), you know the tradeoff: speed now, compromises later. A true native Swift/SwiftUI app gives you what great mobile products are made of: performance, real iOS UI patterns, deeper access to Apple frameworks, smoother animations, and the freedom to build iOS-specific features properly — not as workarounds.AI can accelerate you, but without guardrails you get codebase chaos: drifting structure, fragile builds, and “small changes” that break everything.You probably felt this already: you tried iOS in Cursor / Claude Code and want something stable and scalable — or you built a prototype in vibecoding tools and now need native features and App Store-level quality.This course is a 1-month shipping challenge: we build together from idea → scope → working Swift/SwiftUI app → App Store release, with Modaal.dev orchestrating the workflow between you, your agent, and Xcode. You’ll have async collaboration in a private community plus live sessions, with Elena as product advisor and Ivan (ex-Meta, Uber) guiding the path to release

Guided buildathon to ship a real native app, not just a prototype

Turn an idea into a shippable native iOS v1

Build a maintainable Swift/SwiftUI codebase with AI

Ship with Xcode: builds, signing, TestFlight, App Store checklist

Native iOS apps are built on macOS. Without a Mac, you can’t run the iOS toolchain Modaal relies on.

A Mac computer to use during the hackathon.

Xcode is required to compile and run your iOS app. Modaal.dev needs it to produce a working build.

Xcode installed, or the ability to install it before starting.

Modaal.dev is free during the hackathon, but the agent you connect is paid and required for code generation.

A paid Cursor or Claude Code account (active or ready to set up).

PMs + Product Designers who define scope + flows (PRD/Figma) and want to ship an App Store-ready Swift/SwiftUI app fast.

Builders who already tried Cursor/Claude (or built a simple iOs app/prototype) and now want a scalable, maintainable app foundation.

Engineers (web/full-stack/iOS) who want to build a real native iOS app in Swift/SwiftUI using AI—without codebase chaos.

AI lets you build fast  >>> The real risk is building the wrong thing.

Cohort 4

Cohort 5

Vibe-coding tools like Lovable and Claude let you go immediately from idea to prototype. What used to take weeks now takes hours. That sounds like an advantage — but it's created a new problem: vibewasting - building fast without clarity or a plan.Building the wrong thing faster just gets you to the wrong place sooner😉.Most vibe-coders skip the one step that determines whether any of it is worth it: validation. They start building the moment they have an idea — before they've talked to a single customer, before they know if the pain is real, before they know if anyone would pay.This workshop fixes that. In 2 hours you'll build a clear plan for the next 14 days — giving you much more confidence in your idea and helping you justify further investment of time and money. We'll start by writing a sharp bet on your idea, define exactly who your first customer is, and design interview questions that surface real pain. You'll also create a Lovable prompt that specs the tiniest version worth building - something you can vibe-code in an hour and put in front of real people to validate. You leave with a 14-day validation plan, ready to test before you invest weeks building the wrong thing.

A first-time founder or side-project builder with a business idea who wants to test it before spending weeks vibe-coding the wrong thing.

A vibe-coder who has already built something that didn't get traction and wants a structured approach before starting their next idea.

A professional or domain expert who spotted a problem in their industry and wants to validate it as a business before learning to build.
