1000s Of People Are Building Their Own App With Ai. Are You?
Every tool you're paying for right now was built by someone who's never done your job. They guessed at what you needed, wrapped it in a subscription, and now you're locked in - paying monthly for software that's 80% of what you actually want.
That other 20%? It's costing you time, workarounds, and money every single week.
Justin Burns figured out how to close that gap. He builds the exact tool he needs using AI - no code, no developers, no waiting. And this July 22-24, he's showing you how to do the same thing, live, in three days.
The event is free. The app you walk away with is yours.
Grab your seat for the Apps Built With AI Summit and stop paying for software that almost works.

Good morning, Edmonton and surrounding areas! Happy Monday! ☀️
Congratulations to Spain on a hard fought World Cup title, and welcome to a fresh new week! Today's issue covers a tornado that tore through Clearwater County this weekend, a new referendum lead for Alberta Conservatives and a serious escalation in the Iran conflict.
Here is hoping your Monday starts calmer than Saturday's storms did.
Tornado Tears Through Clearwater County, No Injuries Reported
Did the tornado risk near Edmonton actually touch down?
Yes, just not in the city itself. A tornado touched down near Rocky Mountain House Saturday evening, part of the same storm system that put Edmonton, Spruce Grove, St. Albert and Leduc under an extreme storm risk zone earlier that day.
Clearwater County reports damaged homes, downed trees and blocked roads.
No injuries have been reported, and the Northern Tornadoes Project confirmed at least one twister on the ground.
A reminder of just how active this storm season has been across the region.
Poilievre Names Parkland MP Dane Lloyd as Alberta Referendum Lead
Who is leading the fight to keep Alberta in Canada?
Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre appointed Parkland MP Dane Lloyd as his referendum lead Sunday, kicking off a summer campaign to keep Canada united ahead of Alberta's fall separation vote.
Poilievre says the party will not lecture Albertans, but will address grievances like housing and grocery costs.
Lloyd has represented the Parkland riding since 2017 and also serves as Conservative caucus chair.
Worth watching how this shapes the conversation heading into October.

Military Airlift Underway as Ontario Wildfire Forces First Nation Evacuation
How serious has Ontario's wildfire situation become?
The Canadian Armed Forces began airlifting residents of Eabametoong First Nation out of harm's way Saturday, using four Hercules aircraft after a fast moving wildfire prompted a request for federal help.
Neskantaga First Nation also evacuated about 95 residents to Thunder Bay the same day, with more flights planned.
Prime Minister Carney says more than 5,000 firefighters are now battling blazes across the country.
Our thoughts are with every community dealing with this fire season.
Spain Wins Second World Cup Title, Beats Argentina 1 to 0
How did Spain pull off the win?
Ferran Torres scored in the 106th minute to give Spain a 1 to 0 extra time win over Argentina in Sunday's World Cup final, with Argentina's Enzo Fernandez sent off late for a second yellow card.
It is Spain's second World Cup title, and their first since 2010.
Emi Martinez set a World Cup final record with 11 saves trying to keep Argentina in it.
However you were cheering yesterday, what a way to close out the tournament.
Two US Troops Killed in Iranian Strike on Jordan, US Launches New Retaliation
What is the latest in the US Iran conflict?
Two US service members were killed and one remains missing after Iranian missiles hit a base in Jordan hosting US troops Friday, with four more medically evacuated. The US has since launched new airstrikes on Iran in response.
It marks the first US combat deaths reported since the conflict began.
The strikes hit Muwaffaq Salti Air Base, which hosts US troops and fighter jets.
A serious escalation worth keeping on your radar.
