I started in 2026. I share what I learn as I learn it, not as someone who mastered it years ago.
Module 5 teaches Claude Code. This website was built with Claude Code. That's not a claim, that's the receipts.
I started using AI in my business in 2026 with zero developer background. I document everything I try, what works, what doesn't, what I wish someone had told me earlier. This course is what I wish existed when I started. Every workflow in here is one I use. And yes, this course website was built using Claude Code. That's the point.
New workflows every week. Honest reviews of AI tools. Real results from a real business. No guru speak.

Claude is an AI assistant made by Anthropic. It is available as a browser chat at claude.ai, a desktop app called Cowork, and a command-line tool called Claude Code. This course teaches all three, starting with the basics.
Claude has a feature called Projects that gives it permanent memory of your business context. You set it up once and every future chat already knows your business, tone, and audience. ChatGPT requires you to re-explain each session unless you use custom instructions. Claude also tends to be more cautious about flagging uncertainty rather than confidently guessing.
Cowork is a mode inside the Claude desktop app. Unlike claude.ai in a browser, Cowork can read and write actual files on your computer, run scheduled tasks automatically, and complete multi-step work while you step away. Both claude.ai and Cowork can connect to cloud services like Gmail, Slack, and Google Drive using Connectors. What is unique to Cowork is accessing your local computer files directly and running scheduled tasks. The desktop app must stay open and your computer must stay awake for scheduled tasks to run.
Claude Code is a command-line tool made by Anthropic. You install it once inside VS Code and use it by describing what you want built in plain English. Claude Code writes the actual code, runs it, and creates the files on your computer. You do not need to write or read any code yourself.
No. This course was designed for business owners with no developer background. The only technical step is installing VS Code and Claude Code in Module 5, and the instructions assume zero prior experience. If you can follow a recipe, you can follow this course.
Yes. The course itself is completely free. No credit card. No paywall. Modules 0 through 3 run on Claude.ai's free plan. Modules 4 and 5 use Cowork and Claude Code, which both require a Claude Pro subscription at $20/month. You can complete the first four modules for free and decide if you want to continue from there.
Approximately 2 hours total across 7 sessions. Most students complete it over a weekend. Each module is 10 to 25 minutes and ends with one real workflow you run before moving on.
Cowork is a mode inside the Claude desktop app. It works with your existing computer files, runs scheduled tasks, and delegates multi-step work. Claude Code is a separate command-line tool installed inside VS Code. It writes, runs, and saves actual code files. Cowork is for automating everyday business tasks. Claude Code is for building things, apps, websites, tools.
Yes. Claude.ai is free to use in a browser. Modules 0 through 3 of this course run entirely on the free plan, no credit card needed. Modules 4 and 5 use Cowork and Claude Code, which require Claude Pro at $20 per month. You can get real business value from the free plan before deciding whether to upgrade.
Yes, through Claude Projects. You create a Project once, add context about your business (your audience, tone, services, goals), and every conversation inside that Project starts with that context already loaded. You do not need to re-explain your business each time. This is covered in Module 3 of this course.
Claude Code does not require you to write or read code. You install it once inside VS Code, then describe what you want built in plain English. Claude Code writes the code, runs it, and creates the files. This course website was built this way. Module 5 walks through the full install process step by step, assuming zero prior experience.
BuiltwithSally is a brand and course platform created by Sally, a Canadian business owner who started using Claude AI in 2026 with no developer background. Sally documents everything she tries, what works, what doesn't, and what she wishes someone had told her earlier. The Build With AI course is the result of that learning, built by a real business owner sharing real results.
Just an email address and a browser. Go to claude.ai and create a free account before you start Module 1. For Modules 4 and 5 you will need VS Code (free download) and a Claude Pro subscription ($20/month). The course tells you exactly when to set each one up.
These came in through my DMs and comments. First names changed for privacy, words are theirs.
I have zero tech background and I almost skipped Module 5. I followed it step by step and built a real page. Me. I screenshotted it and sent it to my sister at 11pm.
The RTCF formula is the part that clicked for me. My captions used to take an hour. Now it's 10 minutes and they sound more like me, not less. I keep recommending this in my group chats.
What I appreciated most was the honesty about cost and the Discernment Checks. It never oversold AI. I set up my Claude Project and my client emails finally sound like me again. Genuinely the clearest explanation I have found.
