Capstone: Build and Launch a Working AI App
The capstone scope
Build a complete, launched no-code AI app: a focused single-purpose UI (Lesson 4), a well-structured database (Lesson 5), authentication and usage limits (Lesson 6), published live (Lesson 7), with a basic monetization plan (Lesson 8).
Prioritizing what ships
Cut scope aggressively — a working app with one great feature beats an unfinished app with five mediocre ones. Focus your remaining time on polish for the single core AI feature.
Launching and gathering real usage data
Publish the app, share it in the 404Fault community and relevant channels, and track your first 10 real users' behavior — this real usage data is more valuable than any amount of additional planning.
Key Takeaways
- The capstone combines UI, database, auth, deployment, and monetization skills.
- Cut scope aggressively — one great feature beats five mediocre ones.
- Launching and observing real users teaches more than additional planning.
- This is a real, shippable business asset, not just a learning exercise.
