# ZeroFluff
## Stop Thinking. Start Building.

> The 4-week intensive cohort for designers, founders, and creative professionals to ship real software products using AI.

---

## Overview

ZeroFluff is a high-intensity, "build-first" cohort designed to help creative professionals overcome "analysis paralysis" and ship tangible software products using modern AI tools. We focus on "Editorial Brutalism" aesthetics and a shipment-obsessed mindset.

Our mission: **Empower non-technical creatives to build production-grade software by leveraging AI as a force multiplier.**

We solve one problem: Getting stuck in "tutorial hell" - watching endless tutorials but never shipping.
