## What you'll learn in Zero to One

Five regions, in the order real products get made. Each lesson is about twelve minutes and ends with a short check.

### 01 Idea

From a vague wish to a problem worth solving. How AI works, how to find a real problem, talk to people and test whether they'll act.

### 02 Plan

Just enough plan to start building. Scope, user flows, a working name and look, the parts of an app, data, models, cost and setup.

### 03 Build with AI

Build real things by describing them. Prompts, memory, vibe coding, APIs, security, testing, code review, agents, voice agents, trust and your first full version.

### 04 Brand

Shape the brand from what real users say. Positioning, naming, brand traits, visual identity, voice and tone, a design system and your launch story.

### 05 Launch and run

Go live, and keep it alive. Deploying, release waves, scaling, monitoring, support, privacy basics, security, pricing, growth, upkeep and incidents.

### How it works

Each lesson starts with a diagram. Tap a station to zoom in, then pass a short check to open the next lesson. [See how it works](https://dotskills.co/how-it-works.html).
