Build Anything with AI

The Non-Coder's Guide to Making Any App with AI

Transform Your Ideas Into Professional Applications—No Coding Experience Required

The barrier between brilliant ideas and working software has collapsed. What used to require engineering teams and six-figure budgets can now be built by anyone willing to learn the new rules of AI-assisted development.

Build Anything with AI is your practical roadmap from idea to launched product, written by Tom Anderson—a former Director of Engineering who managed 80+ developers before discovering that AI tools had fundamentally changed who gets to build technology.

This isn't theory about what might be possible someday. This is your step-by-step guide to building real, functional applications right now using tools like Bolt.new, Cursor AI, V0, Supabase, and ChatGPT.

What You'll Master:

• AI-Powered Development Fundamentals – Learn how modern AI tools translate your natural language into working code, databases, and complete applications without traditional programming

• Essential Tool Mastery – Deep dives into Bolt.new for full-stack building, V0 for UI generation, Cursor AI for enhanced development, and Supabase for databases—no SQL required

• Prompt Engineering for Builders – Master the critical skill of communicating with AI tools to generate exactly what you need, debug issues, and iterate rapidly on features

• Complete Project Walkthroughs – Build real applications including a bookmark manager, task management system, and marketplace platform from start to finish

• Professional Design Without Design Skills – Create beautiful, responsive interfaces using AI design tools and proven patterns that work across devices

• Database Management Made Simple – Structure and manage your application's data using visual tools and AI assistance instead of complex database languages

• Monetization and Launch Strategy – Implement SaaS subscriptions, payment processing with Stripe, and revenue systems that turn applications into sustainable businesses

• 90-Day Action Plan – A structured roadmap taking you from complete beginner to shipped product serving real users, with weekly milestones and accountability checkpoints

Real Projects, Real Results

This book walks you through building actual applications from concept to deployment. You'll implement user authentication, integrate payment systems, create responsive designs, and launch to production—all while learning transferable patterns for any future project.

Who This Is For:

• Non-technical founders with product ideas but no technical co-founder
• Entrepreneurs and solopreneurs wanting to build custom tools without agency costs
• Small business owners needing workflow automation and custom solutions
• Career changers exploring opportunities in the growing no-code movement
• Creative professionals ready to bring their digital ideas to life

What Makes This Different:

Unlike generic AI overviews, this book provides specific tools, exact prompts, detailed workflows, and complete code examples. When you're shown how to build something, you get the precise steps and proven templates to make it work.

The Future Belongs to Builders

The tools currently exist to transform any idea into a working product. The only question is whether you'll claim this capability and join the non-coder revolution.

Your first shipped application is closer than you think. Start building today.
