The Practice Coach
A kid who loves singing builds an AI coach that listens to practice goals, suggests warm-ups, and celebrates streaks. Swap singing for dance, football drills, or chess: the pattern is the same, the interest is theirs.

Projects · what you can build
Real things you could ship. Here are sixteen.
Every cohort shapes its own projects, so treat these as sparks, not a syllabus. Each one is the kind of build that has come out of a learn-by-shipping room, sized for its track.
Young Builders · ages 9–15
Their interest, appified.
Kids build around what they already love. More about Young Builders →
The Study Companion
A homework helper that quizzes them on this week’s topics in their own words, adjusts difficulty as they improve, and never just hands over the answer. Builders learn to command the tool, not lean on it.
The Story Machine
An interactive story generator where the reader makes the choices and the AI keeps the plot honest. Great first build: big imagination, small code.
Professionals
The job, minus the grind.
One real workflow from your actual job, automated and running. More about the Professionals cohort →
The Morning Report
A workflow that reads the inbox and the spreadsheet before you wake, and hands you a one-page brief with your coffee: what moved, what is stuck, what needs you today.
The Follow-up Engine
Nobody likes chasing. This build watches for replies that never came and drafts the polite nudge in your voice, on your schedule, ready for your approval.
The Research Digest
Point it at the sources your job makes you read anyway; get back a weekly digest with the three things worth your attention and links to go deeper.
Founders
Idea to income.
Working things customers can poke, not decks. More about the Founders Sprint →
The AI Operating System
Map your business workflows end to end, then wire the repetitive spine (intake, follow-up, scheduling, reporting) into one system you control. When a build outgrows the sprint, our parent firm Orvantis Intelligence engineers it to production.
The Customer Concierge
A WhatsApp or web assistant that answers the questions you answer forty times a week, qualifies the serious ones, and books them into your calendar.
The Investor-ready MVP
Not a deck: a working prototype with a price on it, built fast enough to test the idea before the runway cares.
Teams
The department, automated by itself.
Built with your team, not for them, so the capability stays. More about Team build weeks →
The Intake Machine
Every request that reaches your department (forms, emails, calls) lands in one queue, tagged, routed, and acknowledged, with nothing retyped.
The Handover Bot
Your team’s process knowledge, askable. New staff query it instead of interrupting the one person who knows, and the answer cites the source document.
The Reporting Pipeline
The weekly numbers that somebody assembles by hand every Friday, assembled by nobody, every Friday.
In every cohort
One build is standard: your own AI assistant.
Every sprint includes building a personal AI assistant. Same build, different outcomes: what it does depends entirely on whose life it moves into.
The Kid’s Sidekick
Knows their interests, plans practice, quizzes before tests. A parent stays in the loop on what it can do. Young Builders →
The Work Assistant
Drafts in your voice, preps your meetings, keeps commitments from slipping. Professionals →
The Chief of Staff
Triages the inbox, preps the weekly numbers, keeps the pipeline honest while you build. Founders Sprint →
An Assistant per Seat
Everyone builds one for their own role: it drafts, files, and answers from the playbook. Team build weeks →
