Got questions?
We’ve got answers.

Here’s everything you need to know before getting started.

01

Which path is right for me?

It depends on where you are and what you need. Want to learn AI building skills? Start with AI Skills. Have a startup idea to validate and launch? Startup Studio. Need something built but want to focus on the business? Dev Studio. Looking to bring AI capabilities to your whole team or organization? Builders Lab. Not sure? Contact us—we'll help you find the right fit.

02

What stage should I be at to use the TractionStudio.ai app?

TractionStudio.ai app serves founders from initial idea through scale readiness. Most founders start in Wave 1 (Ideation) and progress through the platform as they gain “traction”. Even if you think you have validated your idea, you will want to take the intelligence, feedback, and artifacts from Wave 1 into Wave 2 to go-to-market.

03

What's the difference between learning to build and having you build for me?

AI Skills teaches you to build yourself—ideal if you want hands-on capability or plan to lead technical teams. Dev Studio is for founders and organizations who'd rather focus on the business while our team builds the product. Many clients do both: learn the fundamentals, then hand off production work to us.

04

What kinds of products can Dev Studio create?

For startups: prototypes, MVPs, and scalable platforms. For organizations: custom AI agents, GPTs, assistants, and workflow automation tools. All built using AI-native methods with accelerated turnaround.

05

What's a Vibeathon?

A Vibeathon is a collaborative building event where participants use vibe coding and AI tools to create working products in a short timeframe. It's the centerpiece of our Builders Lab program—a way to energize teams and demonstrate what's possible with AI-assisted development.

06

Is Builders Lab only for large organizations?

No. Builders Lab works for companies, universities, economic development organizations, and communities of various sizes. The program scales based on your group's needs—from small leadership teams to multi-department rollouts.

07

What if I'm in Missouri?

Free or reduced access may be available for Missouri residents based on grant funding. Register to confirm eligibility.

08

Where do I start?

Explore the four paths above and choose the one that fits. Or visit app.tractionstudio.ai to sign up for Startup Studio directly. Not sure? Contact us and we'll point you in the right direction.
