A business analysis teacher built an AI mentor for students with Claude Code

A three-tier app where business analysis students work through a project guided by an expert AI Business Analyst, built with Claude Code.

This course creator wanted their Business Analysis students to have an expert at their side while working through a real project. After an early attempt stalled under too many moving parts, they found a new way to direct the build and turned their vision into a working three-tier application. It is a clear example of a teacher using AI to extend what they can offer their students.

AI Business Analyst Mentoring Application

Before

They teach a Business Analysis course and wanted each student to be mentored through a project by an expert. Their first attempt used n8n to build an agentic AI mentor. It quickly became complicated, with several steps to consider before anything would work.

“I started the project with n8n to build an agentic AI to help mentor students, but there were several steps to consider.”

In their own words

The turning point

They watched a few videos about Claude Skills and the Claude.md file as a way to direct a project, and decided to try it. They wrote a Claude.md file describing the outcome of the three-tier application they wanted. Claude used it to draft a project plan, which they tweaked before Claude built the application.

After

They now have a working three-tier application running in their test environment on their PC. Students of their course can run through a project while an AI Business Analyst mentors them. They moved from wrestling with workflow steps to directing a build by describing the outcome they wanted.

What it lets people do

The application gives business analysis students a mentor to learn alongside as they work through a project. Instead of practising alone, they get guidance from an expert AI Business Analyst at each stage.

What they learned

They learned that describing the outcome clearly can matter more than assembling every step by hand. A well-written Claude.md file turned their vision into a plan they could shape, and then into a working app.

“Claude used this to create a project plan bringing my vision to life.”

In their own words

AI Business Analyst Mentoring Application was built during AI Mastery.

Read the full submission
- This application allows a student of my Business Analysis course to run through a project in which they are mentored by an expert AI Business Analyst.  - Tool used - Claude Code - Using clade code skills, I created a Claude.md file detailing the outcome of the 3 tier application I wanted to build. Claude used this to create a project plan bringing my vision to life. This plan was tweaked and Claude built the application. - I started the project with n8n to build an agentic AI to help mentor students, but there were several steps to consider. I then watched a few videos that talked about Claude Skills and the Cluad.md file to direct a project. I then decided to try it. - the application is I'm my test environment on my PC, so I have posted pictures of its working.
