You've chatted with AI. Now learn to build with it.

You're probably already using AI.

Maybe even a lot.

Writing emails, researching holidays and brainstorming ideas.

But you may not realise AI is more than just a handy conversation.

AI gives non-technical people (like you and I!) an incredible new superpower...

You can now create powerful tools, automations and apps for your business, without the expense of hiring a developer or subscribing to software.

But so what? I teach you how to make software virtually for free... what does that even mean?

In our experience, it means you can spend most of your time on the parts of the business you actually enjoy.

And your AI tools make you 100x more effective at what you're already really good at.

For example, we were sat on 100+ hours of customer interviews. We knew there would be profound insights hidden in the footage but we didn't have the time to trawl through it.

It would have taken a research team MONTHS to review the footage, synthesise the data and give us the gold we knew was in there.

The automation we built with AI did it in a day.

The impact of those golden insights has fundamentally altered the trajectory of our business.

I know this sounds too good to be true. There are a lot of exaggerated claims and false promises with what AI can do.

That's why I made this course: to separate the hype from the reality and show you the real-world practical applications.

This course is built on 1000+ hours of my experience building with AI for Pip Decks over the past 18 months.

I lift the bonnet on the business and show you what I've built, how I've built it and how you can too.

Here's some of what our students built during the course:

What makes this course unique?

The A.S.K. Framework: A (Architect), S (Specify), K (Keep Iterating)
  1. You'll learn how to use “Just A.S.K”, a repeatable framework that works for beginners and experts alike. It's the same process I use every day when building with AI, and the course shows you exactly how to put it into practice with real projects.
  2. See how our tiny team turning over 7 figures a year use AI to build the tools that run our entire business, with no coding experience. You'll learn how we build, use and sell the apps and tools that power Pip Decks.
  3. It's led by someone who genuinely cares about helping people who want to embrace AI but don't feel confident yet. You don't need to be technical. I don't use jargon and I'll never judge you for where you're starting from.

The Just A.S.K. Framework

A simple 3-step mental model for building anything with AI. The course shows you exactly how to put this into practice with real projects, so you can use it again and again on your own.

A

Architect

A clear structure up front saves you ten hours of chaos later.

S

Specify

The more specific you are, the less the AI has to guess.

K

Keep iterating

Start rough, improve in small steps. Every round of feedback makes it sharper.

Who's teaching this?

Charles Burdett and Jacob Welby

Charles (left, but not the baby), Jacob (right)

I'm Charles Burdett, and together with Jacob Welby we run Pip Decks (you probably know that already!).

But you might not know that we were the fastest growing profitable company in the UK in 2023, and to date we've generated over £50m in sales to customers like NASA, Lego, Disney, Apple, and thousands of small business owners.

We take one thing very seriously: making complex skills simple and approachable.

And so emerges AI and all the complexity that surrounds it. Using AI in business felt like it was either too good to be true or too complicated to get started with.

But after spending 1000+ hours building tools, software and websites with AI, we have the shortcut for you.

This course gets you confidently building with AI in a fraction of the time it took us. In just a few hours, you'll be able sky rocket your capabilities, bottom-line and, ultimately, joy in making things that serve you and your customers.

When you learn with us, you avoid the mistakes, the fear, the cost and the pain of figuring it out on your own.

Here's what we've built with AI over the last 12 months:

  • The Stress-Free Bookkeeper: How we finally automated our bookkeeping and stopped paying a £3,000/month accountancy service.
  • The “Follow-Up” Assistant: A simple system that researches leads and automatically books meetings 6 months later, so you don't have to remember to do it.
  • The WhatsApp CFO: A virtual assistant that answers your financial questions via WhatsApp using live data from Shopify and Stripe. No hallucinating, no made-up data.
  • The “instant website”: A complete website built, hosted, and put live on the internet in exactly 6 minutes.
  • The Automated Ads Manager: We set budgets and targeting for Facebook ads simply by talking to an AI agent.
  • The Free Payroll: We replaced our expensive payroll software with a custom-made tool for our exact needs.

None of it required writing code or hiring a developer.

Our tiny team now runs like a company ten times our size.

Can't I just learn this for free on YouTube?

Yes. Everything I'm going to teach you in this course, you could probably find for free. It's on YouTube. It's in blog posts. You can even ask AI!

So why bother paying for an AI bootcamp?

Because most AI courses are built by Hype Guys who promise that to make a $1m all you need to do is vibe code another to-do list.

Their entire business model is built around selling courses. I've already got a successful business with Pip Decks.

The reason I built this course is because I love the freedom and creativity that AI has afforded me and I want you to experience that too.

I'm going to show you how to really build. The practical (and sometimes unsexy) stuff that makes a huge impact on your business: payroll software, sales lead management, deep niche market research, internal company knowledge bases.

Sometimes it just takes someone to show you properly who meets you where you're at, doesn't presume any prior knowledge, doesn't use any jargon and just talks in plain English. That is exactly what this course is.

What you can't learn from YouTube, or anywhere else, is the exact tools we built to run our business, how we built them, and the costly mistakes to avoid.

You'll see Pip Decks' internal automations, tools, websites, software, built with AI. Not shown anywhere else.

Is this course for me?

This course is for:

  • You're a freelancer, consultant or business owner who wants to build real tools for your business with AI
  • You're ready to invest time in learning a new skill
  • You want to stop relying on developers and expensive software

Who this course is NOT for

  • You think AI is a fad and aren't open to change
  • You're not willing to invest in yourself right now
  • You're not a business owner, freelancer, or entrepreneur

I found your style to be engaging, honest and genuine which is very important.

By the end I felt that I had a whole new team at my disposal that I can rely on.

Was it worth the money? Absolutely it was. The fact that I have enrolled on the additional day probably says everything.

★★★★★

For anyone thinking about doing this bootcamp and unsure, I was in the same boat!

Now I'm in love with what's possible, and honestly don't know how I ran my business without this. Highly recommend.

★★★★★

This was both the most expensive course I've ever bought and the best in terms of immediate impact. What surprised me most was how it opened up possibilities I hadn't even thought about, areas I didn't realise could be transformed.

“Will it save me money?”

MB

Melissa Baldridge

★★★★★

Hey Charles, fabulous class. I didn't consider myself techie before this class. Wow. I'm building out some robust computational assets, which I've been getting bids so I could get someone else to do it for me. No more. I'LL DO IT.

You probably saved me appx. $150k (or more). 'Can't recommend this training enough.

“What if I'm not technical enough?”

FL

Flurin Laubi

★★★★★

I came into the bootcamp with no technical background at all. Within one session I understood how APIs, automation and AI agents work, and actually built and published my first landing page with real email collection.

“Will I actually build something real?”

EB

Emma Beirne

★★★★★

I almost cried watching the tool I'd envisioned get created right in front of my eyes in seconds. Before this course, running my 1-person business as if I had a team was just a lovely-to-have abstract dream. Now I've actually started.

“Is this practical for my business?”

SM

Stuart Mealing

★★★★★

By the end I felt that I had a whole new team at my disposal that I can rely on. Insight, expert analysis and development tools, none of which I would have had had I not attended.

“Can I really do this myself?”

BH

Brian Hill

★★★★★

This course opened my eyes to what was possible for me to do now, without having to pay developers and specialists. Having Claude give me the step by step “this is what to do” and the doing it was a WOW!

“What if I'm overwhelmed by AI?”

PW

Patti Wohlin

★★★★★

I knew of many ways AI could be used but I felt overwhelmed and often stuck. Today, I feel the money was worthwhile to shift my sense of possibility and hope that my dreams are possible and realistic.

“Is this just hype?”

PM

Peter James Malone

★★★★★

I have lost count how many courses I have done and hand on heart your course is the most genuine one I have ever been on. Anyone reading this, I never give feedback like this but you have to give credit where credit is due.

“Will I actually use what I learn?”

NT

Nadja Tschumi

★★★★★

One week ago I made my first attempts and am now already creating an entire customer portal with a customer journey and dozens of touchpoints, and replacing subscriptions I used to pay for with tools I built myself.

“Is it fun or a slog?”

DH

David Haworth

★★★★★

It started at 4am for me so believe me when I say I found it interesting, enabling, positive and fun. I feel like I have a new employee who fits my ethos of hiring people who are better than I am.

“Is this just another course?”

FB

Friedrich Bischoff

★★★★★

Felt pumped and my brain partied for three consecutive days. End of story: feeling really groundbreaking, off to new and old goals, absolutely paradigm shift. Yes, it was worth it.

“What if I fall behind?”

LC

Lillian Courtney

★★★★★

The first day I literally could not download Claude. I was getting confused thinking maybe this was out of my league. Day 2 this completely changed. I started working with Claude and experimenting. This was beyond exciting.

“Will I actually get going?”

SS

Stanislav Sin

★★★★★

Great to get a kickstart on some topics. Learn the ways to overcome problems and most importantly have a great vibe across all sessions. Felt like being invited to a LAN Party at someone's friend's house.


Frequently asked questions

I'm not technical at all. Is this really for me?
That's exactly who this is for. You don't need to be technical. You just need to be able to clearly explain what you want and AI builds it. Most students of the live course had never used Claude Code before. By Day 2, almost all of them had built a tool that improved their business.
Is $729 (or $789) really worth it?
A freelance developer costs $50 to $150 an hour. A landing page or a client portal would cost you $2,000+ to get built. This course teaches you to build these tools yourself for the rest of your life. If you build one tool that replaces one software subscription, you've made the money back. There's also a pay-in-4 monthly option if you'd prefer to spread the cost.

Results are not guaranteed and depend on individual effort.

Have I missed it? Is it too late?
The live training sold out, but the on-demand recordings are available now. They've been properly edited and broken into chapters. You still get access to the community, tech support, and all future content updates. You're not getting a lesser experience, you're just watching it on your own schedule. Enrolment is open for a limited time.
Why should I pay for something I could learn for free?
You can learn what AI does from YouTube. You can't learn how to reliably build things with it. YouTube shows you someone's highlight reel. Everything looks easy when it works, but when AI breaks, it really breaks. This is 10 hours of me building right in front of you, including the bits that went wrong, so you can see how to get unstuck. Plus you get access to private business workflows from Pip Decks that will never be made public anywhere else.
I'm worried about AI seeing my data.
I cover this on Day 1. Claude Code runs locally on your machine. Your files stay on your computer and you control what it can access. I walk through the exact security settings and explain what AI can see and what it can't.
What if I buy it and never watch it?
The recordings don't expire. Some people blitz it in a weekend. Others do 30 minutes a night. But if you watch Day 1 and build your first tool, you probably won't stop. In this course, you'll build something useful to your business within the first session, which is why we have so many happy testimonials.
I don't have a business. Is this still for me?
You don't need a business, just a problem you need solving. One attendee built a personal day-planner designed for her ADHD. Another attendee automated admin tasks she'd been doing manually for years. The framework works whether you're building for a company, for clients, or just for yourself. If you've ever thought "I wish there was an app that did exactly this," now you can build it.
What do I actually need to get started?
A computer (Mac or PC) and a Claude Pro subscription (about $20/month). I walk you through the full setup on Day 1, step by step. Most of what we build uses free tools and free hosting beyond that.
What's the difference between Regular and Premium?
Both options include the full Day 1 & Day 2 beginner course (10 hours, 18 lessons) plus all three bonuses. Premium adds the Day 3 Intermediate course (APIs, payments, security and deployment), 6 months in the private alumni community with direct tech support from the Pip Decks team, and lifetime access to all future content updates. If you want support while you build and want to learn how to make production-ready apps you can sell, go with Premium. If you just want the core training, Regular has everything you need.
Won't this be outdated in six months when AI changes?
The tools will change but the techniques are timeless. Just A.S.K. teaches you how to think clearly about what you want to build and how to describe it so AI can build it for you. We've already used the same framework across multiple AI models and updates. It works because it's about how you communicate with AI, not about which buttons to click in a specific tool.

A note from Charles

AI isn't going to take your job. People using AI are going to take your job.

I saw a hiring manager on LinkedIn admitting that they're already splitting candidates into two groups: People who use AI in their workflow, and people who don't. The second group doesn't get invited to interviews.

Consultants and coaches using AI to handle onboarding, outreach and sales are winning business that used to go to bigger firms with bigger teams. A four-person company can operate like it has forty people behind it. I know because that's what we do at Pip Decks.

We automated our bookkeeping. That was costing us £3,000 a month. I built a PDF generator in an evening that would've taken weeks of back-and-forth with a designer. I made a WhatsApp assistant that keeps my ADHD brain organised. None of this required a developer. None of it required writing code. I described what I wanted in English and built it myself.

I can't overstate how good that feels. Not waiting for someone else to build your ideas. Not paying for software that does 80% of what you need and charges you extra for the rest. Just having an idea and making it, the same day, exactly how you want it.

I used to look at an idea and ask “could I build that?” Now the question is “do I have time to build that today?” Once that shift happens in your head, it doesn't go back.

If I can build these things as a designer with zero technical background, you can build them too. You probably already have a list of tools you wish existed, or subscriptions you'd love to cancel, or processes you're sick of doing manually. This course gives you the framework to start knocking those off.

This course is everything I've learnt in the 1000+ hours I've spent getting to grips with AI in 2025/26. You get to skip all my costly mistakes, hours of research and troubleshooting and just get to the good stuff!

Access to the on-demand recordings won't be available forever. If you're thinking about it, now is the time.

P.S. If you're worried it won't be worth the money, consider what it costs to NOT skill up on this. Every month you're still paying for software you could build yourself, still quoting developers for things you could do in an afternoon. Many attendees realise the value of the course within the first hour, once they realise what they can start implementing right away.
