Beginners Welcome
Build with AI. Together.
A structured 3-hour live workshop with Peter Saddington — no tech background needed. If you can describe what you want, AI builds it with you: your own AI assistant, your first app, a simple dashboard, and more. You don't just watch. You build — and we make it easy.
In partnership with
Most AI education teaches you about AI. The Builder's Table is where you build with it. Every session, you sit at a table with other builders and Peter Saddington — a venture fund GP, serial entrepreneur with 5 exits, and operator who runs 14 live sites and 4 autonomous AI agents from a single desk.
This is not a webinar. There are no slides. The workshop is a structured build sequence — five real builds in three hours, each bigger than the last. Peter directs the room; you and your AI do the building. You leave with everything you shipped, hundreds of use-cases to train your agent on, and your name on the Wall.
Six habits that make AI work every time — one folder per project, memory over chat, guardrails, plan-first, synthetic data, the debug reflex. Installed by doing, not lecturing, in the first twenty minutes.
You hire a specialist AI agent — name it, give it a personality and guardrails, hand it its first job. This is the moment you stop doing the work and start directing it.
Your agent builds; you watch it appear. With a couple of clicks, your very own app opens right in your browser — a real website you made with AI, live in front of you, minutes old. No servers to wrestle, no setup headaches. (Want the world to see it? Your agent can put it online in about three minutes.)
Package a reusable AI skill — a saved move you'll run again Monday morning — then wield it: a live dashboard in one sentence. Show and tell follows, builder style. Everyone ships; everyone shows.
After show and tell, the table opens — and this is where it clicks that you can build anything. Games. Personal apps. Chrome extensions. Home and life automations. Even AI-assisted video editing. You pick the idea; Peter and your agent are right there while you build it. And every tool you used on the way — Prompt Lab, Agent Teams, Website Builder — lives free on this site, so the table never really closes.
Founders & Operators
You're running a business and want to multiply your output with AI. You don't need a course — you need to see how someone is actually doing it.
First-Timers, Students & the Curious
Never built anything technical? Perfect — that's most of the table. Students and teens, professionals who've been "meaning to figure out AI," total beginners: if you can describe what you want, you can build it here. No code required. The structure carries you.
Builders Leveling Up
You can prompt, maybe code. You want agents, reusable skills, and build-in-a-sentence workflows — the patterns that turn AI from a chatbot into a team.
One honest note:
It's live and hands-on — not a sit-back-and-watch replay, and not a Discord to lurk in. You don't need any experience or coding background, and all ages are welcome. Just bring the willingness to try it yourself, with Peter right there to help.
Every cohort gets a room. Every builder gets a card. Step inside any table — real classes, real students, real reviews (4.96★ across 629 Trustpilot reviews).
One table. One afternoon. You leave with software you shipped. (Agent certifications run $1,200–$3,000 over six weeks.)
Between jobs? Every table holds a hardship seat ($149) — email Peter and tell him your situation.
After you grab a seat: email Peter a screenshot showing you’re set up — the Claude app’s Code tab (or your IDE) signed in (see FAQ below) — and which date you’re attending; he’ll reply with your Zoom link. All you need: a paid Claude plan (Pro or higher) — Claude is the AI teammate we build with (same family as Copilot, ChatGPT, or Gemini, with the agent features class runs on) — and either the Claude app or an IDE (Antigravity or VS Code). Questions first? Email Peter.
He's not a commentator. He's a practitioner — everything he teaches at the table, he's running in production.

A structured build sequence, not a talk. First twenty minutes: the six foundational habits. Then you build, live, with Claude in your editor — your own AI agent → your first app, live in your browser → a real site you can share → a reusable skill → a dashboard. We close with the open floor: you make whatever you want — a game, a personal app, a Chrome extension, a home automation, even AI-assisted video editing — with Peter at the table. Everything you ship goes on the Wall. And if you want your build public? Ask your agent to put it on the internet — that’s about a three-minute detour, right at the table.
Two dates in August: Wednesday, Aug 5 · 5–8 PM ET (after work — student feedback says Wednesday evening works across time zones) and Saturday, Aug 8 · 9 AM–Noon ET (the weekend option, by request). Same material both dates — pick one. New tables are announced to the newsletter first.
No. Intentionally. The value is concentrated in the live sessions and the people at the table. No daily noise, no moderation overhead, no energy drain. Show up, build, leave better than you came.
Please don't. Corporate machines come with admin locks, security agents, and firewalls that block installs and AI connections — and we cannot get around them from inside the class. It's the #1 cause of someone spending the workshop fighting IT instead of building. Bring a personal laptop you can install software on. (No personal machine? Email Peter before buying a ticket and we'll figure out your options.)
Two quick things, both before class day: (1) a screenshot showing you're set up — the Claude app on the Code tab, or your IDE with the Claude extension connected (signed in either way); and (2) which date you're coming — Wed, Aug 5 or Sat, Aug 8. Your ticket works for either date, so this is how Peter knows which table to save your seat at. Why the screenshot? Hard-won lesson: installing and connecting Claude takes ~15 minutes per person live — with a full table, that's the whole first hour gone. (Your ticket email shows a screenshot example and the 5-minute setup guide.) Stuck? Peter helps you before class day — so on the day, we only build.
Pick whichever feels comfortable — both do everything we build. Either way you'll need a paid Claude plan (Pro or higher) — this one's required, not just nice-to-have: the free tier runs out partway through a build. Already pay for Copilot, ChatGPT, or Gemini? You're still welcome — see the next question.
Easiest — the Claude app (great for first-timers): download the Claude app, sign in, open the Code tab, and choose Local. That's it — no separate editor, no extensions, and a built-in preview so you watch your app come alive. About two minutes.
Or the IDE (what I'll be sharing on screen): install the Antigravity IDE — you want the IDE, not Google's agent platform — or VS Code, then connect the Claude extension inside it. A few more steps, but you get the full editor cockpit; the 5-minute setup guide walks it.
My screen shows the IDE, so your panels might look a little different — but every step is identical: you just tell Claude what to build.

Absolutely — you're ahead of the game, and everything you learn transfers straight back to your tools. We build with Claude in class for one reason: with a full table, one shared toolset means every step on my screen matches yours. Good news: the "saved moves" (skills) and memory files we create are an open standard — GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Gemini read the same formats now, so your class work comes home with you. For class day, add a paid Claude plan (Pro, about $20 for the month — cancel anytime after). Copilot user? You already have VS Code, so you're two minutes from ready: connect the Claude extension and you're set. Gemini subscriber? Nice twist: Antigravity — one of the two editors we use — is Google's own IDE. Your Gemini plan powers its built-in agent; for class we connect the Claude extension inside it, and the two live side by side.
The voices in both videos are AI agents. Nobody scripted them — they run the operating system behind this site. Left: they review their own workshop. Right: watch one command become a company.
