Make something real. Build first.

“Bethany helped me build production tools that I now use daily as an investor. I developed agents that assist with financial modeling and manage newsflow on a portfolio of stocks, along with a custom application that tracks how weather events impact investments. These tools have automated what used to take up hours of my time.”

“We partnered with Build First as a way to jumpstart AI adoption at our company. We were looking for ways to make AI use seem practical, accessible, and exciting. Through our workshops with Bethany, we generated real enthusiasm for AI tools and have developed meaningful AI use cases we’re implementing now that are going to make a positive impact on our growth trajectory.”

“We knew how to use chat, but we didn't understand the potential of building things using AI. The Build First training gave our team the confidence to go forth and build across every department. From interactive microsites to dynamic calendars, we had useable tools at the end of the session and most importantly the belief and comfort to keep exploring.”

“I came into the session having never used AI before and now, with the POP-IT Builder Bethany provided, I feel like I will definitely have the ability to create an app.”

“Before working with Build First, I had a clear vision for Dot Bot, an AI-powered tool designed to extend teachers’ capacity and provide students with more personalized support, but I needed help turning that vision into a working product. With their guidance, I was able to build Version 1 of Dot Bot. That initial build gave us the confidence and foundation to continue developing the tool into a scalable solution for schools and educators.”

“Build First's workshops and coaching really helps lower the barriers to entry to building custom applications to practically zero, and makes it a lot of fun along the way!”
