Hey there, how you doing? Odin here. So, I just finished day two of New Idea Machine creating my prototype and I got to tell you it was awesome. I just kind of want to show you around and what it was that I created. This is my prototype and I came in without an idea at first, okay? I didn't have an idea. There's a couple of us that actually didn't have an idea coming in and what we did is we just came in and just played around with this. And so, this is my niche finder. And I did that because I wanted to actually create a niche finder. And so, here's what it is that I created. I got a sign out button over here. I got leads discovered, weak website alerts. So, actually I can score websites, which is really awesome. I can say if it's been lost or something like that. All of this was done in a matter of a couple of hours with New Idea Machine's team day one. I have to tell you guys, it was super duper awesome. I feel that this is the best course that you're going to take of the entire year. And I'm really looking forward to getting my certificate of accomplishment because this is one of those really cool things that as a business owner you need to know it. And it brought all the practice from AI that I've had over the last number of years and brought it to a whole new level of understanding of what is really capable out there. And here's the builder right over here. So, I've got the different niches and keywords so I can actually plug in whatever in the SEO and the keywords and so on. It gives me a geographical location. It tells me how deep I want to go in regards to the search and then I have all the different kinds of leads over here and I have the status connected here between here and the dashboard. And there's a little bit of programming that has to go into it. You have to connect each of these things. And on day two of the session, what we did is we got together and we got to see what everyone else built. And guys, it was fantastic. It was awesome. Oh, man, it was really great. You have to come. You have to try them. And then what we did is we had a round table talking about all the different questions we had. One of the things that I didn't have that I noticed that some of the other guys had was a login and log off page. And I'm like, "Oh my gosh, of course I'm going to need that." So I just programmed that in and it was great. And then what we did is we went through different prompts. We got some more downloads. We got to ask tons and tons of questions. And before you know it, it was wrapped up and it was time to go. And I got to tell you guys the time absolutely flew. I can't believe it. And they have office hours as well where you can just take your ideas and you can ask them. I'm really looking forward to the next classes that they're going to be having at New Idea Machine. You got to sign up. You got to take whatever course that they have. These guys know exactly what they're talking about when it comes to creating automations for your business, apps for your business, and essentially taking those many hats off as business owners that we have where we wear so many different hats. And what they're doing is they're assisting me in making sure that I can take that hat off and I can give that to an automation or to an app and I can even monetize. And we're going to be talking about how to monetize things and getting pre-registrations in the future. I'm just super excited. Anyway, check out New Idea Machine. Check out their course. Take their course. It's an absolute two thumbs up. I'm giving it a 10 out of 10. So there you go. Thanks so much and I look forward to seeing you at one of their next courses and hearing about what your successful idea is and using your next app or your automation, whatever it is. Take care and have a good day.

What did a business owner actually build?

A tool his competitors don't have

I've attended a lot of different meetings over my lifetime, but this ranks right at the top. This has been a tremendous way to become knowledgeable and educated on what it's going to take to develop the kind of opportunity that is out there for me. And I don't think it's going to be a cakewalk in that terms of just pulling it all together, but I'm much better prepared now than I ever was yesterday.

The resources that you receive in the workshop are fantastic. If you just had to choose one reason, besides the fact that the entire program is phenomenal, the people you meet are great, the connections, what you're learning, if there's one thing you definitely want when you come to this, and maybe it's the one and only thing you're coming for, it's the guardrails.

Hi, this is Joe Gleason with Gleason Financial Group, and I wanted to put together this quick testimonial and really just thank the team over at New Idea Machine, Rea and Al. The intro course to programming with AI was amazing. If you'd have told me going into that, that I would walk out of that course having a prototype of an app built, I would have said you were crazy. That there was no way a Gen Xer on the wrong side of the digital divide, not a programmer, not a computer expert, none of that. If you'd have told me going into it that I would have had a functioning prototype, I would have said you were nuts. But the information went very quick. The days flew by. It wasn't bogged down with a bunch of jargon and intimidating content. And the way you broke it out was very easy to follow, even for a newbie like me. So thank you for putting that all together, 'cause it's got my mind racing about all kinds of new ideas and potential that I didn't even think was possible until I took your course. So what I can tell anyone out there that has an idea and just doesn't know how to implement it: take the course, get it started, and really see what you're capable of. So thank you, and I really can't wait to learn more. Take care.

You've set us up for success, right? So you've given us the prompts to put in and the guardrails to keep things safe. We just need to add our ideas, and off we go. It's those little things that will completely stymie a project. So unless you have 30 years of expertise, you don't get those things. And once you have them available to you, you know, then you can do your own writing.

Set up for success

Who teaches the AI bootcamps?

AL Del Degan, CTO of New Idea Machine

Prototype bootcamp

AL Del Degan, CTO & Co-Founder

33 years building software, including work with the Calgary Airport Authority, the City of Calgary, and Travel Alberta.

AL has built dozens of software applications for small business owners and has watched the same costly mistakes happen over and over.

Business owners move fast without creating expensive problems, using the guardrails framework he developed for the prototype bootcamp.

How much do the AI bootcamps cost?

Seats are limited to keep it hands-on.

Live online bootcamp

Build your internal tools or prototype bootcamp

What the bootcamp includes

  1. 1
    Four hours, live, with AL Del Degan

    You build in a no-code tool like Lovable.

  2. 2
    AL's guardrails, from the first prompt

    Your build stays safe and fixable from the first prompt. Instructions written by our CTO tell the AI what it may and may not do. Prompts, cheat sheets, and step-by-step instructions are yours to keep.

  3. 3
    30 days of Slack support

    Questions as you keep building? Our team troubleshoots with you.

  4. 4
    A clear path forward

    You know what to build next and what to hand to a developer when you're ready.

You have an idea and you're not technical. Here's the faster path.

Most owners either hire a developer before they know what they're building, or try to build alone with no guardrails and end up with something a developer can't touch.

There's a better path: build it yourself, in a day, with tools that didn't exist two years ago. We'll show you how. It's easier than you think.

We record the bootcamp and sometimes use clips in our promotional materials, so you may appear on video.

Have a question before you join?

What do I need for the bootcamp?

A computer and a good internet connection.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. This is built for small business owners and founders with no technical background. If you can use a web browser, you can do this.

You will not write, edit, or review code at any point.

Who is this not for?

If you're a technical business owner, this course isn't the right fit. It's built specifically for non-technical business owners who want to build it themselves before spending serious money on development.

What if I need more help after my 30 days?

You can purchase additional support hours. No pressure to buy more. The option is there if you need it.

Will this give me something I can sell?

No. This bootcamp teaches you how to build a prototype. Not a commercial-ready application.

If you want to launch at scale, you will need a developer eventually. But a working prototype changes that conversation.

You validate your idea before spending serious money. That alone can save you tens of thousands of dollars.

What else will I pay for to build my prototype?

A paid Lovable plan. Lovable is never free.

What happens after the prototype bootcamp?

You leave with what you built and a clear picture of what comes next.

That might mean continuing to build on your own using what you learned, using your build to get real customer feedback before spending money on development, or walking into a conversation with a developer and showing them exactly what you need instead of trying to describe it from scratch.

What about AI hallucinations and code bloat?

AL's guardrails framework keeps your project clean and working. That matters because AI tools can generate code that does not work, or add complexity that makes a project harder to manage.

Can I build an AI tool for my business without coding?

Yes. In four hours, live online, you build a working prototype with AI, with AL's guardrails to keep it safe.

Can I automate my business with AI myself?

For a straightforward prototype or internal tool, yes. Start with the bootcamp. For something your customers or your team depend on every day, see AI automation for small business.

Is this just an AI tutorial?

No, and that distinction matters. Free AI tutorials are on YouTube.

What you're paying for here is AL's guardrails framework, built into your build from the first prompt, and a team that troubleshoots with you for 30 days. That's the difference between a build that helps you and one that costs you.

Are these skills transferable to other AI tools?

Yes. The approach, the prompting patterns, the guardrails framework: all of it carries over to any AI-assisted building tool. The platform matters less than the thinking behind it.

Who owns my code, and what are the risks of building on an AI platform?

AL covers this directly. There are real pros and cons to building and publishing inside an AI-assisted tool.

Who owns the code, how it is hosted, what happens if you want to move it. You will know how to set this up safely before you publish anything.

Ready to build your own internal tool or prototype?

"If there's a seat available, grab it!

This bootcamp sets you up for success by providing step-by-step guidance on how to safely and effectively use AI to build apps and websites, and in less than 24 hours post-learning, it is already inspiring change across our operations.

By enabling us to rapidly prototype solutions internally, we can determine exactly what we need before we begin investing in development time."
