Turn your ideas into real apps.
No engineering background required.
You've had the ideas. You've thought "I could automate this" or "there should be a tool for this." Ship is a six-week, small-cohort program that takes operators, investors, consultants, and professionals from zero to shipped — real apps, live on the internet, built with AI as your co-pilot.
Pilot pricing: this is the first professional cohort, so the full six-week program is $100. Once we come out of pilot, Ship will run at full price — this is the cheapest it will ever be.
You have instincts and clear thinking. Let AI handle the execution.
For the first time, the gap between having an idea for a tool and actually having that tool is closeable without an engineering background. Clear thinking, structured problem-solving, and knowing what good looks like are exactly the skills that make someone great at building with AI. This program is also designed to give you genuine AI fluency — not the surface-level kind, but the kind that makes you the person your team turns to.
Hiring is already shifting from "show me your resume" to "show me something you've built." This program is for people who have had plenty of ideas, but never the bandwidth or budget to act on them — and who want a portfolio to show for it. Now they can have one.
Six sessions. One real deliverable each week.
Each session pairs one "think & plan" skill with one "build & ship" deliverable — so you leave every session with something real, not just notes.
AI Fluency + Your First Website
You ship: A live professional website at your own domainThe AI landscape, the analyst mental model for prompting, iterating to the truth, buying a domain, push-to-deploy with GitHub + Vercel. Ship something to the internet on day one.
Planning Like a Builder + Interactive Apps
You ship: A work tool saved to your phone home screenWriting a PRD before you build (same discipline as a precise brief), the CLAUDE.md file, having AI interview you before writing a line of code, mobile-first UI, dark mode — saved as a PWA to your home screen.
Working With APIs
You ship: A data-driven app connected to live informationWhat APIs are (requests, responses, keys — in plain English), securely storing secrets, displaying live data, and a debugging playbook: reading error messages, using dev tools, diagnosing CORS errors and rate limits methodically.
Full-Stack Apps With Supabase
You ship: An app with users, accounts, and saved dataGive your apps memory. Database tables and relationships without SQL expertise, user authentication, reading/writing data from the front end. The difference between a toy and a real product.
Claude Code, the Claude API + Claude Skills
You ship: An AI-powered feature + a reusable Claude SkillA professional developer workflow with Claude Code CLI, making targeted edits in a real codebase, the Claude API (summarization, Q&A over custom content, structured extraction), and packaging repeatable workflows into Claude Skills you trigger with one command.
Shipping a Native iOS App + Demo Day
You ship: A native iOS app running on your phoneCapacitor wraps your web app for native iOS — no App Store gatekeeper required. App icons, splash screens, TestFlight for sharing with colleagues. Plus a two-minute demo to the cohort — because shipping without showing it to someone doesn't count.
Six weeks, live on Zoom, using the tools real builders use.

He has also served on the boards of startups like Spendplan and nonprofits including the Center for Open Science.
Outside of work, Adib has shipped more than a dozen personal apps using AI, including a Quranic study app, a native iOS reading tracker, and a personal stock metrics dashboard, all live at adib.ihsan.build. He's teaching Ship because he believes every professional with good instincts should be able to turn an idea into a real, live product.
Before Day 1
-
A laptop, 2020 or newer (8GB RAM+)
Mac or Windows both work. An M1 MacBook Pro with 8GB RAM runs everything comfortably.
-
Claude Pro ($20/month)
The free plan hits limits quickly. Subscribe for the two months the program runs — you'll use it constantly, and you'll want to keep it after.
-
$5 in Claude API credits
For Session 5, when we build AI-powered features using the Claude API. Five dollars covers everything in class with room to experiment.
A short form, and one real question.
The pilot cohort is capped at 10–12 professionals. I'll read applications in the order they arrive, so there's a real benefit to getting yours in sooner rather than later. The question at the bottom is the one I actually care most about — take a few minutes on it.
"What's something you wish existed — that you'd want to build?"
Got it — thank you.
Your application is in. Adib will personally read it and reach back out within 48 hours. If you have follow-up questions in the meantime, email adib@ihsan.build.
