Free AI build guides.
Each guide takes one small build from a brief to a result you can check, with sample inputs, troubleshooting, and a clear finish line. They are free to read without a Skool login. The tools used in a project may require an account or incur usage charges.
Coding assistants
- Claude Code vs Codex: how I use both and route tasks: which terminal coding agent handles which task, how I keep both safe, and what happens when a usage limit hits.
- Make and verify a code change with Codex: practice a Codex workflow on a local API example: inspect the code, add a failure check, review the diff, and verify the result without paid API calls.
Automation
- Build your first Make.com automation: build a small Make.com scenario with Google Sheets: filter sample requests, map approved rows, and check the output before enabling a schedule.
APIs
- Make your first API request: run a free local API example, distinguish keys from subscriptions, and diagnose authentication and model errors before connecting an AI agent.
Creator websites and tracking
- Build a YouTube feed in React: the YouTube feed used on this site: saved data, server-side API access, accessible cards, and failure checks.
- Track clicks only after consent: implement a clear analytics choice, guard optional events, and test consent changes using the tracking code from AI Automation Station.
