How this course works, what's free, and how to use every workspace — built around the 23-step Prompt Order Theory™ method.
Quick start
The recommended way through the course
The course teaches 23 prompts in the exact order a real app needs them. Step 1 is free with an account; the rest unlock with your subscription. Learn a step, send its prompt, verify it, move on.
STEP 02
Learn how to talk to your AI builder
A standalone primer (not one of the 23 steps): tone, structure and the five ingredients every good prompt needs.
Open the primerSTEP 03
Walk the 23 Steps of Prompt Order Theory™
Follow the roadmap in order — Steps 1 to 23. Each lesson explains what belongs in that prompt, why it sits there, and what breaks if you skip it.
Open Learning PathSTEP 04
Create a real project and build along
Give your idea a home, then use the builder tools (research, validation, branding, architecture) to turn each lesson into a real asset.

Best practices
Build for an outcome, not completion.
The goal is not simply to visit every screen. It is to leave each stage with a stronger, more launch-ready app.
- 1
Follow the order — that's the whole method
The 23 steps are sequenced deliberately. Doing Step 10 before Step 3 is how apps get rewritten, and how you burn AI credits repairing your own work.
- 2
Work on one real idea
The tools are most useful when every output contributes to the same app rather than a collection of unrelated exercises.
- 3
Send one prompt, one job
Bundling five requests into one prompt means one gets half-built. Send it, check it, then move to the next step.
- 4
Save the result, not just the answer
Move useful AI output into your project documents and builder as you go so each lesson produces a concrete asset.
- 5
Verify before you continue
Use each lesson's 'check after' list. A step that only looks finished will break the step that depends on it.
- 6
Mark lessons complete
Toggling a lesson complete updates your progress and reveals the next-step button, so you never lose your place in the 23.
- 7
Use search to jump around
Press ⌘K (or Ctrl+K) and type a step number, lesson name or tool to go straight there.
