## Questions people ask before they start

### Do I need to code?

No. Most builds run on ChatGPT, Claude, Zapier, Make, Notion or Canva. Code tools are only used when they are the fastest route to a working outcome.

### How much time does each build take?

Most starter builds ship in 30 to 90 minutes. Each one states the outcome, the time to ship, the tool cost and the running system you should have when you finish.

### Is this for beginners or consultants?

Both. The site is calibrated for solo professionals who want the working system for themselves first, then repackage the same build as paid client work.

### Where should I start?

Start with the free Starter Kit, then ship the first ChatGPT project and the first Zapier flow. That gives you one assistant and one live automation by the end of the week.
