We've been using AI tools to build software every day. Some things clicked right away, others took a while to figure out. We'd love to share what we've learned — by working on it with you, not lecturing at you.
No slides. No presentations. Just real code, real tools, and real projects — with coaches who do this every day.
"You don't learn to build with AI by watching a presentation. You learn by opening your editor, making mistakes, and figuring it out — with someone next to you who's been through it."That's the idea behind DevLift. Every session is a working session. You bring your code, your questions, your projects — and we build together.
AI is not something you can learn by listening. You have to use it, break things, and build intuition through practice. That's exactly what our sessions are.
We don't use contrived examples. You bring your actual work — the codebase you're building, the problem you're stuck on — and we work through it together in real time.
You'll have your hands on the keyboard. We pair-program with you, showing techniques in the context of your own projects so the learning sticks immediately.
Every session ends with something you built or improved. Not notes from a lecture — actual working code, a new workflow, or a problem solved.
The best way to learn what AI tools can and can't do is to try things that don't work. We create a safe space to experiment, fail fast, and build real understanding.
These sessions are designed to meet you where you are. No judgment, no prerequisites — just honest, practical help.
You keep hearing about Copilot, Claude, Cursor — but you're not sure where to start or what's actually useful vs. hype. We'll cut through the noise together.
You've dabbled with AI coding tools but want to build real workflows — agents, API integrations, automations that actually save time.
You're thinking about how to bring AI tools to your team without it feeling forced. We'll figure out what fits your stack and your culture.
You're learning to code and want to learn the modern way from day one. AI tools can actually make learning faster when used right.
Every session revolves around your goals. Here are some areas I can help with — but we'll always start with what matters most to you.
Setting up your tools, learning the basics, building your first AI-assisted project. No prior AI experience needed.
Making AI a natural part of how you code — from writing and debugging to reviews and documentation.
The difference between "meh" AI output and great output usually comes down to how you ask. I'll share what I've learned.
Want to add AI to your own app? We can work through API integration, tool use, and agent patterns together.
How to introduce AI tools to your team in a way that sticks — without mandates, just genuine value.
Working on something specific? Bring your project, your problem, your question — and we'll figure it out together.
I want this to be accessible to everyone. If cost is a barrier, here's the deal — put some thought into your application and you can earn a free session. No tricks, no catch.
Tell me what you're working on and what you want to learn. Be specific.
I'm looking for curiosity and effort, not credentials. Thoughtful answers go a long way.
If your answers show genuine interest, you'll get a full coaching session — completely free.
No subscriptions, no packages you don't need. Pay per session, and only if it's worth it to you.
30 minutes to see if we're a good fit
Hands-on, your code, your questions
Half-day, customized for your team
If we're a good fit and money is a barrier, we're happy to work with you on pricing. Don't let cost stop you from reaching out — we'd rather help than turn someone away.
We're not AI researchers or thought leaders. We're working developers who started using AI tools and were genuinely surprised by how much they changed the way we build things. A few folks asked us to help them get up to speed, and we realized we really enjoy it.
That's what DevLift is — a chance to skip the trial-and-error phase and get to the good stuff faster. No ego, no curriculum you have to follow. Just practical, honest help from people who do this every day.
