A community for moms learning AI together
You don't need to be technical. You don't need hours of free time. Just curiosity, a real-life problem, and a willingness to try — alongside other moms figuring it out too.
Join a small cohort of moms who meet weekly online and biweekly in San Francisco. Get to know each other, share what you're working on, and learn together.
What it is
Build Club is a community for moms who want to learn AI by doing, not just reading about it. We experiment with tools, try building things that solve real problems in our lives, and share what we figure out along the way.
We keep cohorts small so you can actually get to know the other moms. You'll meet weekly for virtual sessions and biweekly in person in San Francisco (usually Friday afternoons) — swapping ideas, troubleshooting together, and celebrating progress.
You don't need a technical background. If you can describe what you want, give feedback, and keep trying, you can make progress — often in one focused hour.
If you're already comfortable with AI, this is a place to explore new tools, test faster workflows, and help other moms get started.
The goal isn't to become an expert overnight. It's to get over the first hurdle of "I don't know where to start" — and have fun doing it with other moms who get it.
Community proof
At a recent free Lovable event, moms turned real-life ideas into working prototypes — including toddler activity helpers, book recommendation tools, family memory capture, job discovery, calm coaching, and San Francisco outing ideas.
That event is separate from Build Club, but it shows the core idea: when moms get a little structure, a beginner-friendly tool, and other women building nearby, they make real things faster than they expected.

Who it's for
You've heard about AI but don't know where to start. You want a supportive place to try things without feeling judged.
You know something in work, family, admin, or business life could be easier — and you want help turning it into something real.
You already make things, but want to test AI-native workflows, new builder tools, and automations in community.
What counts as a build?
You don't need a polished product or weeks of free time. A build can be the first useful version of something that makes your life easier. The goal is to try, share what happened, and learn from other moms doing the same.
What this can look like
One community member who does not code built a full application at work that people are actually using. The shift was not becoming technical overnight — it was learning to describe the problem clearly and keep iterating with AI.
A beginner-friendly project can be as simple as a Claude or ChatGPT workspace that remembers family preferences, turns fridge/pantry notes into meals, and creates a grocery list.
One community member who's a chef has already started prototyping her own app to be used at work — and she had no technical background. The tools are more accessible than you think.
Inspiration
"The future of software will be defined by everyone else. Get ready to start seeing (and hopefully building) more and more products from unexpected places. This will be software built by local experts with limited technical experience, but way more experience in everything else."
Teachers, real estate agents, accountants, coaches, consultants, small business owners — people solving problems they understand deeply. That's you.

Connect with women who are figuring this out too — swapping tips, troubleshooting together, and celebrating small wins.
The best way to understand AI is to try something with it. Bring a real-life friction and experiment alongside others.
Whether you finish something or just learn what not to do next time, sharing helps everyone (including you) get better.
Some weeks you might have 20 minutes. Other times you might dive deeper. There's no homework — just supportive momentum.
What you'll get
Work alongside the same small group of moms for five weeks, building momentum and real connections as you go.
Links to helpful tutorials and guidance on industry-leading AI tools — curated so you know what to explore first.
Meet weekly online and biweekly in person in San Francisco to ask questions, live troubleshoot together, and chat about what you're working on.
Low-pressure chances to share what you've built or learned, listen to what others are doing, and celebrate the progress everyone has made.

Not sure what to build?
Copy this into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or another AI tool, then use the result to choose what you want to build.
I want to join a group of moms learning AI by building things together. I don't know what problem to work on yet.
Interview me like a friendly practical coach. Ask me one question at a time about recurring frustrations in my work, family life, admin, creative projects, business ideas, community work, or personal routines.
After you understand my context, suggest 5 AI-assisted project ideas I could realistically try. For each idea, include:
1. the real-life problem it solves;
2. what I could build or improve;
3. the most achievable first version;
4. what AI tools or prompts might help;
5. how I could troubleshoot when I get stuck;
6. why it would be useful for me or other moms.
Optimize for practical, achievable, low-pressure projects — not impressive startup pitches. The goal is to learn AI hands-on, solve a real problem, and have something to share with other moms.Interested?
