Got questions?
We’ve got answers.
Here’s everything you need to know before getting started.
01
Which path is right for me?
The right path for you depends on your current stage and specific needs, whether you are looking to learn how to build with AI tools hands-on with AI Skills, validate a startup idea in Startup Studio, outsource product development via Dev Studio, or transform your organization with 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?
founders begin in Wave 1 (Ideation) and advance through the platform as they build traction. Even if you believe your idea is already validated, completing Wave 1 provides critical intelligence, feedback, and artifacts that strengthen your go-to-market approach in Wave 2.
03
What's the difference between learning to build and having you build for me?
The key difference between learning to build and having Codefi build for you comes down to who does the technical work. AI Skills teaches you to build products yourself — ideal for founders who want hands-on capability or plan to lead technical teams. Dev Studio is for founders and organizations who prefer to stay focused on the business while Codefi's team handles product development. Many clients combine both: they learn the fundamentals through AI Skills, then hand off production work to Dev Studio.
04
What kinds of products can Dev Studio create?
Dev Studio can create a wide range of products using AI-native methods with accelerated turnaround. For startups, the team builds prototypes, MVPs, and scalable platforms. For organizations, Dev Studio delivers custom AI agents, GPTs, AI assistants, and workflow automation tools — all designed to solve real operational problems faster than traditional development.
05
What's a Vibeathon?
A Vibeathon is a collaborative, time-limited building event where participants use vibe coding and AI tools to create working products in a short timeframe. It serves as the centerpiece of Codefi's Builders Lab program, designed to energize teams, unlock creative problem-solving, and demonstrate firsthand what's possible with AI-assisted development.
06
Is Builders Lab only for large organizations?
Builders Lab is not only for large organizations — it's designed to scale for any size group. The program works for companies, universities, economic development organizations, and communities of all sizes, from small leadership teams exploring AI for the first time to full multi-department rollouts.
07
What if I'm in Missouri?
Missouri residents may qualify for free or reduced-cost access to Codefi programs through the Codefi Foundation and grant funding. Register to confirm your eligibility and find out which programs are covered in your area.
08
Where do I start?
The best place to start with Codefi is by exploring the four program paths — AI Skills, Startup Studio, Dev Studio, and Builders Lab — and choosing the one that matches your current situation. You can also go directly to app.tractionstudio.ai to sign up for Startup Studio. If you're unsure which path fits, contact Codefi and the team will point you in the right direction.
