About

You already know AI can build things. You’ve seen the demos. Maybe you’ve even shipped a prototype.

But there’s a gap between “it works on my machine” and “it’s in production with paying customers.” That gap is where most builders get stuck.

I share everything I’ve learned about closing it.

Who I am

I’m Jenny. I started as a scientist, became a parent, then a software developer working with real systems and real users. I don’t have a CS degree. That weird mix of scientist, researcher, developer made me a natural generalist — and AI connected all those dots.

Now I build AI-powered products with hundreds of paying customers. Quick Viral Notes has 500+ creators using it. Substack Explorer has 100+ creators on it. VibeCodingBuilders is where builders showcase what they’ve shipped. Plus 20+ tools and templates on Gumroad.

Every night after the kids sleep, around 8pm, I grab water and sit at the dining table. For four hours, I talk to my computer, building, writing, connecting with people. That’s what building with AI feels like when you do it with devotion.

How I help

I build and share everything. Every framework, guide, and system in Build to Launch comes from a product I actually shipped. I share the wins, the failures, and the “why did that take 6 hours” moments. If I haven’t built it myself, I don’t write about it.

I give you the actual files. Not theory. The prompts, templates, checklists, and config files I use on every project. The two prompting strategies that made my AI code production-ready. The constraint prompts that catch bugs before they ship.

I show you others doing it. On Fridays, I interview a builder who shipped something with AI — the actual numbers, the real struggles, the systems that worked. 21 builder stories and counting.

I answer personally. Reply to any email and I respond. Not a template. I read your project, and tell you what I’d do differently.

I run a structured 12-month program. The Practical AI Builder Program starts April 2026. One live session per month, optional office hours, and you learn by building. You adapt the methodology to your own projects. Included with paid membership.

What is practical AI building

Who this is for

You don’t need a CS degree. You don’t need to be a developer. You need an idea, curiosity, and a bias toward shipping over perfecting.

The real question

You have ideas and expertise. I share everything I’ve learned about turning them into real products, from first prompt to production to paying customers.

The question is whether you want to figure it all out alone, or learn from someone who’s already made the mistakes.
