For Business Analysts
Stop handing off. Start shipping.
The AI coding course built for Business Analysts. Turn your requirements into working prototypes, data tools, and process automations — without the engineering handoff.
All published lessons are free for the public launch. No credit card.
If you're a Business Analyst, you know the feeling.
You document the work. Someone else builds it.
You've written 200 user stories this year. You've seen maybe a dozen shipped the way you imagined. The lost-in-translation tax is real.
Your analysis lives in PowerPoint
Every finding, every process map, every proposal — trapped in static slides. A working prototype changes every stakeholder conversation.
You want to own the 'how' — not just the 'what'
Gathering requirements is valuable. So is building the thing. BAs who do both become indispensable.
What you'll be able to do
Concrete outcomes. Not a certificate that sits in your LinkedIn.
- Turn requirements into working prototypes stakeholders can click through
- Build your own data analysis tools — no more begging the data team for a SQL query
- Automate process maps into executable workflows
- Validate requirements with users directly, in a working app, not a mockup
- Graduate with a portfolio capstone — a real tool that solves a real business problem
Your start-here path
Five modules, in this order. Skip the rest until you've shipped one.
Your tool stack
What I'd reach for if I were a business analyst starting today.
Codex
BAs already think in flows and edge cases — the exact shape Codex eats up. Give it a requirements doc and watch a working prototype come out the other side.
Claude Code
When you want the analysis to live as a real, repeatable script — not a one-off output — Claude Code is the one I reach for. It treats your project like a project, not a chat.
Cursor
If you'd rather edit code in something that looks like Word than a terminal, Cursor is the gentler door. Switch over later when your needs grow.
The modules built for you
16 modules total. 4 of them matter most for business analysts.
Thinking in Systems
BAs already think in processes and flows. This module translates that skill into code you can actually run.
Data & APIs
Pull data from the systems you already analyze. Build dashboards and reports yourself instead of waiting on the data team.
User Testing with Real Prototypes
Swap out clickable Figmas for working prototypes that gather real user signal — a massive upgrade for requirement validation.
Capstone
A finished shipped tool — analysis dashboard, process automation, or stakeholder prototype — that proves the business value.
Business Analysts ask us
I'm a BA, not a developer. Does this really apply to me?
Especially to you. BAs already think in flows, requirements, and edge cases — the exact skills that produce good AI outputs. You bring the domain knowledge; the course teaches the tools.
How does this differ from getting a certification like CBAP?
Certifications prove you know the BA discipline. Prototype Studio gives you a shipped tool you can demo. Both have value — this is complementary evidence of impact.
Will I be able to work with my company's existing systems?
Yes. Module 7 covers APIs and data integration — pulling from Salesforce, SQL databases, Excel exports, internal REST APIs. If your data is accessible, you can use it.
What if I just want to prototype faster, not replace engineering?
That's the sweet spot. A working prototype at requirement-gathering time turns a 2-week back-and-forth into a 30-minute session. You stay in the BA lane but move 10x faster.
Start free. Ship something real.
The published curriculum gets you from zero to your first shipped web app, then into the workflows that make the habit repeatable.
Different role? We have pages for them too.
