Hey Reader,

Just made it to Thailand, and while drinking my first coconut... 🥥

I saw someone on X asking how to set up AI coding tools for non-technical people.

Funny enough, I currently teach my wife how to build her first app without writing any code.

And this simple trick helped her do it.

One simple paragraph. That's it.

The Simple Trick

I keep telling my Blueprint students ALL the time to use this.

It just works so well that I thought I would share it with you, too.

She put this into her projects rules (details below). And something clicked.

The AI stopped talking like a computer science professor. It started talking like a helpful friend.

Instead of "configure the API endpoint," it would say "connect your app to the payment service, like plugging in a charger."

Instead of a wall of confusing steps, it would give her a 3-5 point summary at the top of every plan. In plain English.

Here's the Wild Part

I'm teaching her right now. Live. Same principles I teach inside my AI Builder's Blueprint.

So she already built her first app.

Now she's building the website for it.

Next step is polishing a few things, then submit it to the App Store.

She's not technical. Never has been. But she doesn't need to be.

The Quick How-To

Every AI coding tool has a file where you set "house rules" for the AI.

Think of it like a sticky note on your monitor that the AI reads before every chat.

In most tools, it's called AGENTS.md.

In Claude Code, it's called CLAUDE.md (because they like being different).

You put that one paragraph in there. Done.

Now, every time the AI helps you, it uses words you can ACTUALLY UNDERSTAND.

Not that confusing stuff that developers call "language."

It's like hiring a translator that sits between you and the coding tool. Permanently.

That one rule changed the entire experience for my wife and now she loves it.

And it's the exact same rule I've taught my students for months.

Talk soon,
Rob

P.S. This is what I teach inside the AI Builder's Blueprint. Not just tips and tricks, but the actual system that takes non-technical people from idea to building with AI. The foundations I teach in there have been used by my students to build websites, mobile apps, lead magnets, and entire businesses.
