Stop Renting Software. Start Owning It.
In 3 days, you'll build, package, and launch a real app — live, on screen, with me — without writing a single line of code, hiring a developer, or asking anyone for permission.
Not a course. Not a "someday." A real app with your name on it, launched the same way any software company launches — build it, make it sellable, ship it — except compressed into three days and walked through step by step so you literally cannot overthink your way out of it.
By the time most people finish researching whether AI is overhyped, you'll already be the person in your industry who builds the software instead of paying for it.

About That Word: "Launch"
Yeah. I'm calling a free 3-day event a launch.
And I know that's going to make a few people uncomfortable.
Could I call it a "3-Day AI App Workshop"? Sure. Sounds professional. Sounds like something you'd half-watch in another tab while you answer email and tell yourself you're "taking notes." Sounds like the kind of thing you forget you signed up for until the reminder email hits.
But you don't want a workshop.
A workshop is where information goes to die in a folder you never open again.
You want the actual thing. The app. Live. Built. Yours.
That's a launch.
So that's what I'm calling it. If "launch" makes you a little nervous — good. That nervous feeling is just the part of you that knows it's about to actually do something instead of bookmark another thing for "later." Lean into it. Later is where ideas go to retire.
Let me be straight with you.
Most people reading this have had the exact same thought at least a dozen times. Usually while staring at some clunky tool their whole industry is forced to use:
"There has to be a better way to do this."
You've seen it. The software that charges a hundred bucks a month to do one annoying thing badly. The process everyone in your world quietly hates but tolerates because that's "just how it's done." The obvious fix nobody's built — because everybody's waiting for somebody else to build it.
And somewhere in there, a quiet thought shows up:
"I could make that. If I knew how."
Then the second thought arrives, right on schedule, and strangles the first one in its sleep:
"But I can't code."
So the idea goes back in the drawer. Where it's been sitting for a year. Maybe three. Slowly decomposing from "a thing I might actually build" into "a fun fact I bring up at dinner so people think I'm interesting."
Here's what I need you to actually hear, because it's the whole game:
You don't have a coding problem. You have a permission problem.
You're standing at a door that's already unlocked, waiting for someone official-looking to come tell you it's okay to walk through it.
For about thirty years, that door was locked. Bolted. Building software meant money you didn't have, developers who didn't return your calls, and nine months of runway you'd never get back. That wall was real. And it quietly trained an entire generation of smart, capable operators to stop saying their software ideas out loud — because what was the point?
That wall came down last year.
Most people just didn't hear it fall. They're still standing at the door. Still waiting for permission that's never coming, because nobody hands it out anymore. You just walk through.
The Excuse That Quietly Expired
Here's the uncomfortable part.
"I can't build software" used to be a fact. A wall. A reasonable, adult, defensible reason to keep your idea in the drawer.
Sometime in the last twelve months, it stopped being a wall and became an excuse. And the difference between a wall and an excuse is simple: a wall is in front of everyone. An excuse is something you keep choosing.
The people who already noticed this aren't smarter than you. They're not more technical than you. A lot of them know less about your industry than you do. They just heard the wall fall a few months earlier and started walking.
That's the only head start they have.
And it's the one thing you can erase in three days.
Because here's the thing nobody's saying out loud: the window where "I can't code" excuses you from building is closing. Not because the tools will get harder — they'll get easier. It's closing because everyone else is about to walk through that door too, and "first" is a real advantage in your industry.
The fix you've been imagining?
Someone's going to build it. The only question is whether it's you or the person who heard the wall fall before you did.
SUMMIT
I'm Justin Burns
I didn't come from tech. I came from a cramped sales cubicle in Chicago, pulling $2,800 a month, making 200 cold calls a day and getting hung up on 187 times before lunch. People I'd never met screamed at me for a living. I'd sit there holding a phone that somehow weighed a hundred pounds, running the same sentence on a loop in my head:
There has to be a better way.
Nobody was going to hand me one. So I went and built it.
I built and sold a software platform with 30,000+ customers. I run my own platform now — Miestro. I've spent years on stage teaching operators how to actually ship the thing instead of just talking about the thing.
Then the AI shift hit, and everyone around me started getting nervous about being replaced.
I made a different call.
I'm not getting replaced. I'm doing the replacing.
Last year I built an app in two days that does what a $100/month competitor does. I run a stack of profitable apps live right now — built with no code, sold with no tech team, launched without permission from anyone.
This isn't a prediction I'm asking you to take on faith. It's a playbook I've already run, more than once. And in three days, I'm going to stand at the screen and walk you through running it in your industry — while you build right alongside me.
That's what happens when you stop watching and start building.
The Lie Everyone Believes About AI Apps
Most people think AI is a shortcut.
It's not. AI is an amplifier.
Point it at nothing, and it amplifies nothing — which is exactly why 90% of the "AI apps" people slap together are forgettable, interchangeable clones of each other. Same idea, same look, same nothing. They built garbage faster. Congratulations, very efficient.
But point that amplifier at what you already know — your industry, your customers, the specific thing everyone in your world complains about every single week — and it builds the obvious fix at a speed that used to be physically impossible.
And here's the part that should make you sit up:
You are NOT starting from zero.
You've got the one ingredient the 22-year-old "AI app guru" doesn't have and can't fake. You know where the bodies are buried. You've lived in your industry for years. You know exactly what's broken, what people would happily pay to make go away, and what they'd never admit out loud in a meeting.
For thirty years, that knowledge was worthless unless you could also code or fund a dev team. It just sat there.
Now it's the entire advantage. The tool builds the software. You bring the thing software can't: knowing what to point it at.
3 Day live build
What We're Actually Building
(Not "Learning About")
This is not a "learn AI" event where you leave with a folder of prompts, a head full of buzzwords, and the same empty drawer you walked in with.
Three days. Three sessions. One launch.
By the end of Day 3, you have a working, sellable, launched app. Here's the build.
"From idea to app — today."
Day 1 is where the drawer opens. We take the thing you've been describing out loud for years and turn it into something that exists.
-
✓
Pick the right problem: Choosing an idea people will actually pull out a card for instead of just a "fun" project.
-
✓
Build it together live: Over-the-shoulder screen-share tracking the entire creation process with absolutely no code.
-
✓
Leave with a working app: Not a mockup or a roadmap—a real, running app that actually exists in the world.
"A working app nobody can buy is just a hobby."
This is the day most people skip. A working app and a sellable app are two different animals — we close that gap in one session.
-
✓
Establish foundational pillars: Locking in the perfect name and setting your monetization pricing structures securely.
-
✓
Position your landing layer: Crafting the page and core offer so complete strangers view it and think "wait, I want that."
-
✓
Leave with an optimized page: A fully named, priced, and positioned system ready to market before you go to bed.
"First customer beats perfect product. Every time."
You put the thing in front of the actual world to secure your first feedback, your first customer, and undeniable proof.
-
✓
Break the "polishing" loop: Escaping the trap of waiting for perfection by shipping your build while I am right there with you.
-
✓
Secure immediate execution data: Deploying live to unlock real-world interaction proof that your product works.
-
✓
Leave with a repeatable playbook: A launched app and a scalable framework you can run again next week on your next idea.
The 4 Things In Your Hands
by Friday Night
Not theory. The threat, the position, the move, and the playbook to run it.
You'll see the shift coming for your industry
Where AI is already quietly hollowing out the work your industry charges for — and the early warning signs of the wave headed straight for yours.
You'll be positioned as the operator
How to stand as the person building next-generation software in your space — without ever writing a line of code or pretending to be technical.
You'll plant your flag
Your first app, your first customer, your first proof — before someone with half your experience plants their flag where yours should be.
You'll own the playbook
The exact sequence I've used to launch profitable apps, adapted to whatever industry you operate in, ready to run again and again.
★ About This "Lineup"… ★
It's Mostly Me. Here's Why.
I'll be honest with you about how this is built, because it's a deliberate choice.
A lot of these events parade eight "guest experts" across your screen — each one there to teach for nineteen minutes and pitch you for eleven. By the end you've collected a dozen business cards and built absolutely nothing. The lineup is the show. The building never happens.
That's not this.
This is mostly me. On purpose. Because I'm not going to walk you through how to launch an app by reading you the news — I'm going to walk you through it because I've actually done it, more than once, and I'm doing it again live while you follow along. You don't need a parade. You need one person who's run the playbook standing next to you while you run it yourself.
Justin Burns
Founder of Apps Built With AI. Built and sold a software platform with 30,000+ customers. Founder of Miestro. Years on stage teaching operators how to ship instead of stall. Currently running a stack of profitable AI-built apps, live.
If I pull in another builder, it'll be someone genuinely in the trenches in 2026 with something worth your time — not a guru filling a slot. But make no mistake: this is me, you, and a screen, building the thing together for three days.
"Okay Justin — Why Is This Free?"
Fair question. Here's the honest answer.
A wave is coming, and it does not care how many years you've put into your business. It's going to reward the operators who understand leverage, and it's going to quietly flatten the ones who keep waiting for the "right time" to learn this stuff.
I'd rather you be the one holding that leverage than the one getting steamrolled by it. I've watched too many sharp, experienced people get out-shipped by someone half as qualified, purely because the qualified person was still "thinking about it."
And honestly?
The most convincing way to prove this works isn't to talk about it on a sales page. It's to build it with you, live, over three days, and let you walk away holding the result. An app in your hands is a better argument than anything I could write here.
No tricks. No "surprise — now buy the $2,000 thing to unlock the part that actually works." Just three days of real building. If at the end you want more from me, great, the door's open. If not, you still leave with a launched app. That's the deal.
Is This For You?
This free event is built for you if…
This is built for you if…
-
✓
You're a coach, consultant, agency owner, or service provider, and you can feel software starting to quietly eat into the thing you charge for.
-
✓
You've watched younger, less-experienced operators pull ahead using tools you've been ignoring — and you're genuinely done watching it happen.
-
✓
You're tired of competing on price against someone who built an app for fifty bucks and undercuts you while doing less.
-
✓
You refuse to be the cautionary tale your kids tell someday — the one who saw the whole shift coming and just… didn't move.
-
✓
You learn by doing, not by collecting another folder of training you'll never open.
This is NOT for you if…
-
✕
You believe AI is "all hype" and you're here to argue instead of build. (Genuinely — enjoy your afternoon. We'll be over here shipping.)
-
✕
You want a magic button that prints money while you nap, and you'll be annoyed when it turns out you have to actually click things.
-
✕
You won't show up live. Replays go to everyone who registers, but the building happens in the room, in real time, with me. You can't outsource the part where your hands are on the keyboard.
-
✕
You'd rather stay the kind of person who talks about the idea than become the kind of person who shipped it. (No judgment. But keep the drawer. We'll be here when you're ready.)
Questions?
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need any tech background at all?
No. If you can copy, paste, and follow instructions on a screen without panicking, you have everything you need. The entire reason this event exists is that the wall that used to require a technical background is gone. We're not teaching you to code. We're teaching you to build — which is now a different skill.
Do I need a finished idea before Day 1?
Nope. A rough one helps you move faster, but Day 1 includes helping you choose the right problem to solve — the one people will actually pay to make go away. Plenty of people walk in idea-less and walk out of Day 1 with an app. If your "idea" is just a vague feeling that your industry's software is bad, that's honestly a great start.
Will there be replays?
Yes — for everyone who registers. But hear me on this: this is a build-along, not a binge-watch. The people who get the life-changing version of this show up and build in real time, while I'm right there to unstick them. The replay is your safety net, not your plan.
Is this for beginners or for advanced people?
Both, and that's not a dodge. Beginners walk away with an app they genuinely didn't believe they could make. Experienced operators walk away with a repeatable launch playbook and a serious head start on their competition. The format meets you where you are.
What if I don't know what to build?
Then you're in exactly the right place. "I don't have an idea" is the most common reason people skip events like this — and it's the easiest thing we fix, usually within the first session.
How much time does this take?
Three days, a few hours live each day, at 3:00 PM Eastern. Show up, build alongside me, leave with the thing. That's the commitment.

Six Months From Now, You're One of Two People.
The one who finally walked through the unlocked door and built the thing they'd been describing for years — and who now reaches for "I'll just build it" the way other people reach for "I'll just Google it."
Or the one still standing in front of that same door. Still "researching." Still waiting for permission that isn't coming. Watching someone with half the experience ship the exact app you said out loud, three separate times, at three separate dinners.
The excuse expired. The wall is down. The door's unlocked.
The only question left is whether you walk through before someone else takes your spot.
