Learning new tech can be... a journey. Select a common frustration below to see how WatchmeGPT flips the script.

The Flawless Façade

Tired of 'experts' who never show a single mistake?

🤯

The Theory Trap

Drowning in concepts but starving for practical application?

🙋

The 'Just Show Me' Plea

Got a specific problem you wish someone would just... build live?

Intrigued? Confused? Mildly amused? That's the spirit! Dive into a live session and see the chaos unfold.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

You're a perfect fit for WatchmeGPT if...

You're tired of theory without practice

You've bought courses that explain concepts but never show the messy reality of implementation.

You're overwhelmed by AI tools

The landscape of AI tools is changing daily, and you don't have time to figure out which ones actually work.

You're a DIY founder with limited time

You need to wear multiple hats but can't afford to spend months mastering each new skill.

You learn best by watching, not reading

You need to see someone solve real problems in real-time to truly understand the process.

👋
Friendly tech teacher

Sound familiar?

You're not alone. I built WatchmeGPT specifically for founders who need practical AI skills without the fluff or technical jargon.

"I don't teach theory. I show you exactly how I use these tools to build real projects, mistakes and all. If I can learn it, you absolutely can too."

Origin Story

E-Com Since 2012

Before AI tools existed, before "no-code" was a thing, I was figuring out how to build businesses with whatever tools I could get my hands on. Here's where it all started.

🍜
July 2012

Make $10k On Kickstarter

This was my setup after my first Kickstarter campaign got funded. No fancy office, no team — just me, my computer, and the drive to turn an idea into reality.

From Idea to Reality

Hundreds of orders packed and ready to ship. This was the moment I realized that the internet could turn ideas into real businesses. Each box represented someone who believed in what I was building.

Early Platform Adoption

My first Instagram ad — when Instagram ads were brand new and most people didn't even know they existed. This taught me the power of being early to new platforms and tools.

PROMPT MASTERY PREVIEW

Level Up Your Prompts: From Fiverr Gig to Pentagram Brief

Understanding "taste" in AI prompts is key. Each level below builds on the previous, adding nuance, restraint, and human-like sensibility. Here's a peek at what you'll learn to master in my live sessions.

Prompt Objective:

Design a landing page for a premium skincare brand targeting women 30–50.

Level 1: Basic / Beginner

The Prompt:

Design a skincare landing page with a clean layout, white background, product photos, and a ‘Buy Now’ button.

Key Characteristics:

  • Functionally correct, but basic.
  • Zero style or brand direction.
  • Vague, leading to default outputs.

Expected Output Feel:

Generic Shopify template.

Taste: No Taste

Level 2: Amateur With Aesthetic Words

The Prompt:

Design a minimal, elegant skincare landing page with soft colors and a luxurious feel.

Key Characteristics:

  • Adds emotional descriptors.
  • Still vague; terms like 'minimal', 'elegant' are subjective.
  • No system-level direction.

Expected Output Feel:

Pretty but potentially cliché (beige, serif, wide hero).

Taste: Superficial Taste

Level 3: Intermediate Prompt

The Prompt:

Create a skincare landing page using an 8-column grid, soft blush and beige tones, custom serif for headlines (like Canela), and muted product imagery on white. Prioritize whitespace and emotional copy. CTA should be a single muted tone—not high contrast.

Key Characteristics:

  • Introduces layout system (grid).
  • Specifies type guidance & color logic.
  • Shows restraint (e.g., muted CTA).

Expected Output Feel:

Modern DTC brand (like Glossier or Aesop).

Taste: Practical Taste

Level 4: Advanced Prompt

The Prompt:

Design a skincare landing page that evokes trust, calm, and precision—like a cross between a medical journal and an art book. Use a modular 8pt spacing system, optical kerning, and typographic hierarchy with Canela for H1s and Söhne for body. Layout should breathe, never touching edges. Hero should feature product in negative space with a poetic subheadline—not a sales hook.

Key Characteristics:

  • Ties emotional feel to concrete visual rules.
  • Specifies real fonts, grids, and tone-matching language.
  • Inspired by editorial design, not just commerce.

Expected Output Feel:

Award-tier if executed well.

Taste: Real Taste

Level 5: Master-Level Prompt

The Prompt:

Build a skincare landing page that feels like it was art directed by a luxury print editor. Use Swiss-grid structure with vertical rhythm (e.g. 12pt base), minimal grayscale palette with one accent color derived from packaging, and brutal whitespace discipline. Typography must feel editorial: Canela Display for headlines with negative letter spacing, Söhne Book for body with optical leading. Image treatment: soft shadows, top-lit, anchored to golden-ratio grid. CTA should be designed like a whisper, not a shout—no colored buttons. Every element must feel placed, not dropped.

Key Characteristics:

  • Incorporates grid, spacing & typographic micro-details.
  • Visualizes the emotional tone through specific instructions.
  • Dials in layout, lighting, hierarchy, spacing, and overall tone.

Expected Output Feel:

Feels 'expensive' and untouched by templates (like a Pentagram case study).

Taste: Expert Taste

"My cat learned more about AI watching this over my shoulder than I did in my last three mandatory 'synergy' seminars. Now he's demanding a raise in tuna. Thanks, I think."

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I miss a live session?

No problem! All live sessions are recorded and added to our free archive. You can watch them anytime, anywhere.

Not at all! The sessions are designed for DIY founders and anyone curious about AI tools, regardless of technical background. I explain things in simple terms, assuming you're starting from scratch.

How is this different from just watching YouTube videos?

WatchmeGPT focuses on live, interactive building where you see the entire process, including mistakes and real-time problem-solving. It's less about polished tutorials and more about learning through authentic, contextual experience. Plus, Pro members can influence what gets built!
