The AI App Sprint: Launch a Working AI Application from Scratch In
Under Two Hours
Revealing a repeatable process to rapidly build AI applications to systemize your life, be used by your team at work or launched as SaaS products.
Hi friend!
If you want to launch your own AI application but don’t know where to start…
If you’ve tried to build something only to waste hours debugging broken code…
If you’re tired of ‘vibe-coding’ tutorials that promise the world but leave you with a pile of half-finished projects…
Then I've got exciting news for you!
In this AI App Sprint I'm going to show you exactly how to launch a working AI application from scratch.
I’m not only going to tell you how. I’m going to implement each step LIVE to prove you can do this in under two hours.
This includes researching the market, choosing your idea and validating the key features.
And you don’t even need coding experience.
Whether you’re an advanced programmer or a complete beginner…
This system will take you from zero idea to working AI application in under two hours.
A system you’ll be able to implement faster and faster as you and AI get better.
Before you know it…
You’ll have a portfolio of impressive AI applications on your resume.
Personal applications that systemize workflows in your life, in-house applications your peers use at work or even mini SaaS products that generate revenue.
Right now, we're witnessing the greatest revolution in software since it was first invented.
A divide is forming between those who can use AI and those who can't.
By the end of this workshop you’ll be in the tiny camp of users who not only use AI, but leverage it to the highest degree.
Now before I share more details…
Let me introduce myself!
You probably know me from my YouTube channel or emails.
My name is Tina Huang, an ex-Meta (Facebook) data scientist with a 984K+ AI and Tech YouTube channel.
I've been working with AI for 7 years now.
My first project was with Google’s BERT at the University of Pennsylvania for my Computer Science Master’s in 2018.
(That was back when getting an AI model to speak a few lines of Shakespeare was considered groundbreaking…)
In 2020 I joined Meta.
First I worked on Oculus from the Facebook Reality Lab. Then I moved to Instagram in 2021 where I built AI models for content policing algorithms.
After leaving Meta to focus on YouTube in 2022…
I launched Lonely Octopus. This is an AI and data science education company, where students have gone from complete beginners to landing jobs at some of the biggest AI companies in the world.
The AI Application Breakthrough
Now in the last few months, I’ve had a breakthrough with AI applications.
I’ve been applying sound engineering principles to ‘vibe coding’ and launching some pretty great applications.
These applications have been for myself and my team to automate workflows, but I’m now also tempted to launch a SaaS product as these apps are proving to be so useful.
Some of the most useful applications are:
• Freelancer Toolkit: There’s a surprising amount of admin that comes with freelancing. As my team has been taking on B2B clients, this application generates proposals, makes contracts, invoices clients and has a built-in AI agent that scans everything to make sure we’re not missing anything. It pains me looking back and realising how much time I lost as a freelancer by not having this.
• Workshop Presentation Builder: Building presentations for teaching inside the Lonely Octopus bootcamps takes a lot of time. So we built an AI application that non-technical members of the team can use to input a document with the information, and output a self-hosted presentation that is honestly better than anything I ever used to make on Google Slides.
• Student Career Success Predictor: Since launching Lonely Octopus, I’ve always been looking for ways to improve the experience for students. So I built an AI that analyzes their Circle posts, live session participation, assignment quality, experience, LinkedIn profile, etc - and gives an employability score. It gives a predicted annual salary and offers specific suggestions on what they need to do to improve this. I.e. "Mike needs to improve his assignment quality”, “James needs to update his LinkedIn skills section” or "Sarah should practice technical interviews."
• Course Curriculum Gap Detector: Another key area of Lonely Octopus is making sure curriculum is relevant. The goal is to teach people the most in-demand career skills. So I built an AI app that scrapes thousands of job listings from LinkedIn, Indeed, and other job sites, then compares them to our current bootcamp content. This gives us data-driven suggestions on exactly which modules to add, remove or improve.
• Conference Selection Optimizer: I used to waste so much money on the wrong conferences - spending $8K on a booth at an academic event when our target audience was enterprise. This AI analyzes attendee demographics, competition levels, and ROI potential for each conference. This tool is a huge help for attending events that actually convert to sales calls.
These are just few examples.
I’ve also built a personalised finance tracker, drawing coach app and other even more silly ones that I just make for my own personal enjoyment.
All this is to say…
I can’t remember the last time I was this excited about coding.
This is all stuff that would take VC funding, teams of engineers or years of coding time to build. And I’m now able to build this in UNDER TWO HOURS!
It’s so crazy it sounds too good to be true.
Every individual essentially has a personal team of programmers they can use.
We're witnessing the greatest revolution in software since it was first invented and it blows my mind that some people still won’t take this seriously.
But in defence to the people who have yet to build their own applications, there is one problem.
The Problem With ‘Vibe Coding'
Most ‘just vibe code an app bro’ tutorials are terrible.
It’s mostly clickbait hype where:
They don’t show the full process from research to finished app
They don’t teach you how to troubleshoot when things break
They don’t give you a repeatable framework you can use to build ANY app
They don’t show you how to safely deploy your app so other people can use it
They don’t follow sound engineering principles to minimize the chances of broken code
So after many of you have requested it, I decided to launch…
Introducing… The AI App Sprint
The AI App Sprint is a LIVE workshop where I show you exactly how to launch a working AI application from scratch in under two hours!
This includes everything from research to onboarding users and accepting payments.
I’m doing this LIVE to show that you can really do it in this time.
And whether you’re an experienced programmer or never written a line of code…
You’ll have an entire system to take you from zero idea to launching working AI applications.
By the end of the week you could have your own portfolio of AI applications working for you and be in the tiny camp of users who not only use AI, but leverage it to the highest degree.
Now before I share exactly what we’ll be covering…
Let me be clear on limitations:
In just two hours, you won’t have an AI application that can scale to 1000s of users. To do this requires additional technical knowledge to create more efficient coding infrastructure that is able to handle a larger workload.
Instead, what you will have in under two hours is a working application you and a bunch of other users can use, that you can build on to scale up if you choose to.
With that out the way…
Here’s what we’re covering:
How to find, research and validate your AI app idea
How to write all the code with AI without sacrificing code quality
How to deploy your application so that others can use it without it breaking
Everything you need to know about integrating AI so you have built-in agents
The best way to build the frontend user interface for web, mobile and desktop
The most costly mistake people make when building the backend and how to avoid it
App Architecture 101: How to plan an AI app, choose the right services and design the user flow
Here’s what you’ll get:
Lifetime access to the recording and slides
The exact prompts we use to build AI applications from scratch
A full SOP document you can follow along to launch more apps
The workshop will be hosted live on September 9th at 7pm EST.
But slots to join are ONLY available to buy until the last day of this month, Sunday the 31st at midnight EST.
We want to spend most of our time making this the best workshop possible, not selling it, so doors are only open for a few days.
Now as this is our first ever paid online workshop like this…
We’re also including a few additional gifts.
BONUS 1:
The AI App Sprint SOP
To make the AI App Sprint system even easier, we’ve created a full systems-of-processes document laying out each step of the workshop.
This comprehensive document will save you time from needing to take notes or re-watch the workshop.
It’s a full recap of the AI App Sprint system laid out step-by-step so you can refer to anytime you launch an application.
Secondly…
BONUS 2:
$100 Discount Off the Next AI Agent Bootcamp
The next AI Agent Bootcamp will be launching in September. The recording of this workshop will be included in the offer, so we’re giving you a $100 discount if you join.
This discount can be used on any future bootcamp that includes this recording.
Doors to the bootcamp open on the 16th of September at 11am EST.
All our bootcamps have sold out in under 48 hours, so make sure you put the date in your calendar to have the best opportunity of joining.
And lastly…
BONUS 3:
AI App Sprint Scaling Guide: Scale Your Workshop App To a Thousand Users
Now that you’ve launched your application, you might want to scale it to more users.
But as I covered, this requires additional technical knowledge to create more efficient coding infrastructure that’s able to handle a larger workload.
So we’ve also created the AI App Sprint Scaling Guide to show you how to upgrade your app to handle a thousand users.
It covers the key steps behind making your coding infrastructure more efficient.
You can follow it even if you’re new to coding as it’s broken down into clear steps.
What’s covered:
How to setup monitoring tools to track performance, errors and user activity so you can fix bottlenecks before they become a problem
A simple guide to database scaling so your app responds quickly even with 1000s of users
The basics of cloud deployment (Heroku, Vercel, Railway) so you don’t have to worry about servers and downtime during traffic spikes
Now if you’re ready to launch your first working AI application…

Your Questions Answered
What exactly will I get from the AI App Sprint?
The AI App Sprint is a live 2-hour workshop where you'll learn to build and deploy a complete, working AI application from scratch - even if you can't code. You'll get lifetime access to the recording, the exact prompts we use to build AI apps, plus the three bonuses - all with a 14-day money-back guarantee.
Is this workshop right for me if I have no coding experience?
Absolutely! This workshop is specifically designed for both complete beginners and experienced programmers. We use AI to write the code, so you don't need any programming knowledge. The system works whether you're a seasoned developer or have never written a line of code in your life.
How is this different from other "vibe coding" tutorials?
Most tutorials are incomplete "vibe coding" sessions that leave you stuck with broken code and no clear path forward. The AI App Sprint shows the FULL process - from market research and validation to deployment and user onboarding. We teach you how to troubleshoot when things break, give you a replicable framework for ANY app, show you safe deployment practices and follow proper engineering principles to minimize errors.
When can I expect to see results?
You can have a working AI application deployed and ready for users within two hours of you implementing our system. This isn't about building something that might work someday - we're doing it live to prove it's possible. After the workshop, you'll have the complete system to build additional applications even faster as you and AI continue to improve together.
What if I can't attend the live workshop on September 9th?
No problem! You'll get lifetime access to the complete recording and all materials, so you can follow along at your own pace. The recording will include everything covered in the live session, plus you'll still receive all the bonuses and the step-by-step SOP document.
What kind of applications will I be able to build?
You'll learn to build any type of AI application you can imagine - from productivity tools and personal finance trackers to mini SaaS applications that could generate monthly recurring revenue. The framework works for personal workflow automation, in-house business tools, or customer-facing applications. The only limitations are super complex applications that require multiple applications stitched together which will require more time.
I'm worried about getting stuck with technical issues. How do you handle that?
This is exactly why we focus on sound engineering principles rather than "vibe coding." We'll teach you how to troubleshoot when things inevitably break, which is something most tutorials completely skip. You'll learn to work with AI in a way that minimizes errors and gives you the tools to fix problems when they arise. Plus, with lifetime access to the materials, you can always refer to solve any issues.
What's the difference between this and your AI Agent Bootcamp?
The AI App Sprint is a focused 2-hour workshop specifically about building AI applications with AI. The AI Agent Bootcamp is a more comprehensive program that dives deeper into more complex multi-agent automations. This workshop actually gets you a $100 discount on the September bootcamp, so you can think of it as a perfect introduction that saves you money on the full program if you decide to go deeper.
What if I decide this isn't right for me after purchasing?
We offer a 14-day money-back guarantee, no questions asked. If you decide building AI applications isn't for you, simply email contact@lonelyoctopus.com and you'll have your money back within 48 hours.
How much technical knowledge do I need about AI?
None! We'll cover everything you need to know about integrating AI so you have a built-in agent in your application. You don't need to understand the technical details of how AI models work - we'll show you how to implement them effectively using the tools and prompts that actually work.
What happens after I build my first application?
You'll have a complete, replicable system you can use to build more applications faster and faster. Many people use this to create a portfolio of impressive projects for their resume, automate areas of their personal or work life, build tools for their workplace, or even launch mini SaaS companies. The system gets easier each time you use it.

— Liz, Strategic Foresight
“The Lonely Octopus Bootcamp delivered far beyond my expectations. As a non developer my self, in just one month, I went from foundational knowledge to being able to design, build, and deploy working AI agents that create real business value. The team's dedication to over-delivering was evident every step of the way—providing hands-on support, deep insights into modern frameworks, and access to a robust toolset. Their methodical approach accelerated my learning curve and gave me the confidence and competence to bring AI agents into production-ready environments. I can't recommend Lonely Octopus highly enough for anyone serious about mastering applied generative AI!”
— Malek, Presales Consultant
“Joining the Lonely Octopus AI Agent Boot Camp was one of the best learning experiences I've had in years.
Before I started, my AI agent journey felt a bit like fumbling around in the dark—exciting, but unclear and a little overwhelming. I wanted to move beyond theory and start building real, practical AI solutions for nonprofits. This boot camp gave me exactly what I needed: a clear roadmap, hands-on projects, and a community of thoughtful, curious peers.
If you are even halfway serious about learning to build AI agents and are debating whether to sign up, here's my advice: DO IT. This boot camp is NOT easy, but it's incredibly rewarding. It positions you at the cutting edge of AI and gives you skills you can put into practice right away. It didn't just teach me about AI—it made me fluent enough to start making a bigger impact in my field.”
— Joshua, Chief Information, Security & Privacy Officer
“Before joining the bootcamp I know the basics and theory behind large language model, but I didn't have a clear idea about the LLM frameworks, Agent Implementation stack and real world use case of AI Agent applications.
This bootcamp provided a step by step guidance starting from how to think about an Agent, tools that can be integrated to an agent to augment its capabilities, frameworks for guardrailing an Agent, prompt engineering and deploying the AI application to cloud.
I highly recommend this bootcamp for anyone interested to learn and build AI agent applications from scratch.”
— Senthil, Data Analyst
“I have (still) zero background in coding and no desire to learn right now. But I still wanted a deeper understanding of agents and their design and potential.
The Bootcamp's "no code" option was perfect. The boot camp allowed me to observe others building agents and gain insight into the thought process behind their design. The hands-on exercises were at just the right level.
I found the class to be a great experience. I just wish it could have kept going! :) I highly recommend it to anyone in my position.”
— Art, Business Owner
“Before the bootcamp, I was fascinated by AI agents but felt like I was looking at them through a foggy window - I could see the potential but couldn't quite grasp how they actually worked or how to build them myself. I was looking for that "aha moment" where theory would finally click into practice.
The bootcamp was like having a master craftsman guide me through building my first AI agent project. I learned so much on the bootcamp, starting from the fundamental building blocks - like properly setting up a virtual environment (creating a clean workspace for each project) - through to having a fully functional agent that could access storage and maintain memory. The progression over the weeks was logical and systematic, which really appealed to how I learn best. Each concept built naturally on the previous one, creating a solid foundation that made the more advanced topics feel achievable rather than overwhelming.
The biggest breakthrough for me was gaining the confidence to think of myself as someone who can actually build AI agents, not just read about them. It's like the difference between watching someone cook and actually being able to prepare a meal yourself. The bootcamp transformed AI agents from this mysterious, woo-woo concept into something I could understand, deconstruct, and rebuild. I walked away with both the technical skills and the mental framework to approach agent development systematically.
So, if there’s anyone who’s sitting on the fence about joining the upcoming bootcamp, I would say jump in and enjoy the challenge - it's a lot of fun! If someone in their 60s who has made the career change from nursing can grasp these concepts and build working agents, then anyone with curiosity and determination can do it too. The bootcamp breaks down complex ideas into digestible pieces, and there's something incredibly satisfying about watching your first agent come to life.
Don't let the technical aspects intimidate you - the Lonely Octopus team create a supportive environment where learning feels like a fun adventure. The future is being built by people who understand AI agents, and this bootcamp gives you the tools to be part of that future.”
— Paul, Junior Software Developer
“I have been working as a full stack developer for 20+ years.
Before starting the AI Agent Bootcamp I was following online tutorials and creating some agents. I remember watching a YouTube video from Tina, where she was explaining what AI Agents were and I got fascinated with the way she explained it. When I found out about the Bootcamp, it was a no-brainer for me. The idea behind starting the bootcamp was to get a solid and structured understanding about AI Agents and what we could accomplish with them. And Tina and the team delivered! I not only understood the process, but I also discovered peers with incredible ideas to learn from. So the gain was double.
I have been sharing the link to Tina's videos and mentioned about the bootcamp to everyone feeling lost with AI and concerned about their jobs. To them, if there were to join the bootcamp, I would say: read all the material, do all the assignments, ask questions and connect with your peers. Once you have done that, build, build, and build :)”
— Dani, Application Support Specialist
“I currently work on the data team for a major AI company. Before that time, I was an English teacher and desperately wanted a career change but didn't know where to begin gaining the credentials needed to start impressing employers. Since I was coming from a non-STEM field and trying to enter STEM, my biggest challenge was just starting at the bottom of a whole new ladder. Lonely Octopus gave me exactly the coursework foundation and practical projects I needed to start totally reshaping my resume.”
— Stephanie, Data scientist, AI Trainer and Prompt Engineer

“I'm very happy that I chose to attend this program this is where I found my startup idea and have the courage that I can start something with AI's help even though I have less knowledge about coding.”
— Khally, Business Owner
“If someone was sitting on the fence about joining the bootcamp, I'd say that this course is taught by people who love their subject and who did scrappy, self-directed learning to save you from having to do the same, AND that, while anyone can promise you anything and leave you to struggle afterwards, they were very clear about where people get in trouble if they don't pay attention to security, ethics, or the limits of their own knowledge.
So, you'll be able to use your learning immediately, but you won't get yourself into trouble by thinking you're more knowledgeable than you are.”
— Lucymarie, R&D Engineer
“The bootcamp was a great introduction to AI agents with Tina and her team sharing over 10 or more sessions (including dedicated Q&A discussions) practical bite on how to build and launch an AI agent! I did one simple one on shortlisting stocks for investments. Kudos to the Lonely Octopus team! Now you ain't so lonely anymore!”
— Camillus, Chief Finance Officer
“Joining this AI Agents Bootcamp was a game-changer for me! The hands-on projects, clear tutorials, and cutting-edge frameworks gave me the practical skills I needed to confidently build AI agents from the ground up. The supportive team and vibrant community made all the difference—always ready to answer questions and share insights. It’s not just a course; it’s a launchpad for anyone serious about mastering AI. I’m already applying what I learned in real-world projects and can’t recommend this bootcamp enough! Whether you’re just starting out or looking to deepen your expertise, this bootcamp is an invaluable investment in your AI journey. I am grateful for the opportunity to learn, grow, and connect with such a dedicated community, and I eagerly look forward to future programs!”
— Maddox, UC Architect
