AI Builder Program Build Session Recordings
Build Your Personal Budget with Claude
Most personal budgets die by February. You build a beautiful spreadsheet in January, miss a week of updates, and never open it again. The numbers stop matching reality, and the plan stops working. In this exclusive AI Builder session, Ben Lazaroff will walk you step by step through building a personal budget powered by Claude. By the end of the hour you'll have a working AI that tracks where your money goes, flags when you're drifting, and tells you in plain English whether you can swing that flight home this summer. But the budget is just the on-ramp. The real takeaway is the playbook: how to hand any messy, recurring part of your life over to AI. First a budget. Next a meal planner, a job search tracker, a CFO for your side hustle. Same skill, different shape. Ben has spent his career thinking about how money moves: private equity at Bain, economic development policy at the Chicago Mayor's Office. Same rigor, much smaller balance sheet. You'll be building alongside him in real time. No demo, no notes for later. You'll leave with a finished budget and a clearer sense of what else you could build next.
Build a Meal Planning Agent
Most meal plans assume you live alone, eat anything, and have unlimited time on Sundays. None of that is true. By Tuesday the plan starts slipping. By Thursday you're at the drive-thru wondering why you bought all those bell peppers. In this exclusive AI Builder session, Jake Evans will walk you step by step through building a meal planning agent powered by Claude. By the end of the hour you'll have a working AI that knows your diet, your fitness goals, your weekly schedule, the foods you actually like, and the three things your kid will refuse to touch under any circumstance. Tell it you have 20 minutes and a half-empty fridge, and it will tell you what to make. But the meal planner is just the on-ramp. The real takeaway is the playbook: how to hand any messy, recurring part of your life over to AI. First dinner. Next a packing assistant, a homework tutor, a family travel agent, a workout planner that adapts to how you actually slept. Same skill, different shape. Jake is a full-stack developer, which is a fancy way of saying he's the rare coach who can actually build the thing he's teaching you to build. He's done this for a living. Now he'll do it with you. You'll be building alongside him in real time. No demo, no notes for later. You'll leave with a finished agent and a clearer sense of what else you could build next.
Designing AI Systems That People Actually Trust and Use
Most people using AI tools at work have the same quiet worry: what is actually happening to my data? It is a fair question, and most AI systems are not designed to answer it well. Join Andrew Quillen, former Head of AI at Spotify and Content Strategist at OpenAI, for a session on how to design AI systems that people actually trust. Andrew will walk through how to think about sensitive data, connectors, and access controls, how to prevent unintended exposure before it happens, and how to build systems where users always know what the AI can see and what it can't. He'll also cover the broader design principles, boundaries, visibility, and user control, that separate AI products people rely on from ones they quietly stop using. You'll leave with a practical framework for building AI that earns trust, not just attention.
