The format

Three separate builds. One shared prompt. One clock.

At the start, the audience helps choose the app, company, or AI project brief. Once the prompt is locked, Ian, Justin, and Alec each build their own version at the same time. Brett keeps the room oriented, moves between screens, explains what each builder is doing, and surfaces the decisions, mistakes, and pivots as they happen.

01

The room picks the brief.

We will keep the prompt audience-shaped. It may be crowdsourced live or selected from a tight preset list, but the room gets a hand on the wheel.

02

Three builds start.

Ian, Justin, and Alec each build their own version of the app, company, or AI project. Same brief. Same clock. Different instincts.

03

Brett runs the broadcast.

No one disappears into a cave for an hour. Brett hops from screen to screen so the audience sees the decisions, the mistakes, and the pivots.

04

The audience judges.

At the end, the room votes. Winner gets bragging rights, the first AI4NTP Build Trophy, and the burden of acting humble about it.

The builders

Same prompt. Different brains. Better television.

The point is not to crown the smartest person in the room. The point is to show how real operators choose tools, recover from weird AI output, and get something usable across the finish line.

How we judge it

The winner is not the prettiest demo. It is the build people believe.

60

Minutes to turn an audience-voted prompt into something real enough to inspect, question, and compare.

01

Does it work?

The project has to do something real, not just look convincing from ten feet away.

02

Would you use it?

The audience should be able to imagine opening it tomorrow, or stealing the workflow for their own work.

03

Did the operator show the work?

Prompting, debugging, course-correcting, and decision-making all count. The process is the point.

04

Is it worth continuing?

The best build should feel like version one of something real, not a clever disposable trick.

Run of show

A live build, with enough structure to keep the wheels on.

00:00

Cold open and prompt setup

Brett frames the build-off, explains the rules, and gets the room ready to choose what gets built.

05:00

Audience vote locks the brief

The prompt becomes official. The builders get the same starting line and the clock starts moving.

10:00

Parallel build lanes

Ian, Justin, and Alec build in their own silos while Brett jumps between screens and calls out the differences.

35:00

Mid-build check-in

Each builder shows what exists, what broke, and what they are cutting to make the finish line.

50:00

Final demos

Each builder gets a short window to show the finished version and make the case for their approach.

58:00

Audience vote and trophy

The room picks the winner. The trophy is mostly imaginary, but the bragging rights are extremely real.

FAQ

Questions before you save your seat.

Is this a replay or live?
Live. Episode 005 happens Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 12:00 PM Eastern on Zoom. Register and we will send the session details.
Do I need to be technical?
No. The builders will move fast, but Brett's job is to keep the room oriented. You are there to watch how operators think with AI, not to memorize code.
What exactly are they building?
The brief is intentionally open for now. The likely format is an audience vote from a preset list, with room for the crowd to shape the final prompt.
Will there be a replay?
Yes. Register and you will get the replay even if you cannot attend live. Showing up live gets you the vote, the chat, and the full build-off energy.
How much does it cost?
Free. AI4NTP exists to show real operators using AI in the open, without turning the useful parts into a locked box.
