AI Product Leader & AI Coding Educator

Learn the skills, workflows, and mindset to confidently ship with coding agents

This course will help you become an AI-Native Builder: someone who can confidently ship complex projects with AI, with a toolkit of repeatable workflows for planning, development, and testing with coding agents. No matter if you're "technical" or "non-technical".

You'll build 2 real projects using the best AI coding tools on the market today: Claude Code from Anthropic and Codex from OpenAI.

And you'll never build alone. There's 12+ hours of office hours and Q+A (with world-wide timezone support), a Slack community for async help, and debugging support to help you get unstuck.

Plus a community of fellow builders to give you accountability to make progress all the way to Demo Day (and beyond).

The future belongs to professionals who are AI-Native in their work. Join the next cohort to learn what it takes to become one.
