Course overview

Ready to take your career to the next level by becoming an AI Product Manager?

Unlock the power of AI for your software product and career with our practical, hands-on course designed specifically for technology product managers and builders, taught by AI founder and product management lead Bill Chambers.


As a PM or business leader, you've heard the buzzwords for months. The noise in the ecosystem is deafening.


You know that AI knowledge is critical to your career but with all the hype, it's hard to know where to start. Most AI courses are high level, giving surface level information that won't help you succeed in building AI products.


This course exists to slice through the hype and get you from surface level concepts to a deep, but practical, understanding of the current state of applied AI for product managers and product builders.


In this course, you'll:



- Cut through the AI hype and gain a deep, practical understanding of applied AI


- Apply your knowledge through real-world case studies from various industries, including e-commerce, healthcare, and finance


- Build AI apps from scratch to gain hands on experience in knowledge in what it takes to build products with AI at the core


- Develop an AI PRD (product requirements document) for a product relevant to your company (or as a side hustle) and review it with Bill and your peers


- Network with and learn from other AI-focused professionals and industry leaders in an intimate cohort atmosphere (spots are limited to ensure a high quality cohort)


- Learn the foundational concepts, tools, and architectures for building generative AI products (drawing from Bill's experience as founder, the first Product Leader at Anyscale, and an early technical go-to-market hire at Databricks)



Our course is designed for builders who want to create game-changing AI products and know they need strong foundations in data and AI to do so. Whether you're a PM at a startup or a business leader at an enterprise, this course will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to make AI a reality in your organization.


Over 4 live classes, you'll learn from Bill and other experienced AI practitioners and guest speakers who have successfully implemented AI in their products and companies. You'll also receive ongoing community support and resources to help you continue your AI journey after the course.


Prerequisites: While no prior AI experience is required, a basic understanding of product management and high-level data concepts is recommended. There will be no coding required to complete this course. But we will cover technical concepts and ideas relevant to Data + AI.


Don't miss this opportunity to learn from Bill Chambers, co-author of Spark: The Definitive Guide and creator of data science courses for UC Berkeley and Udemy. Gain the skills and knowledge you need to build AI products that will shape your software career and industry.


Join us now and take the first step towards becoming an AI product leader!

Reviewing Bill's O'Reilly Book - Spark the Definitive Guide
        This course soars where other Data Science courses fail: quick and easy application of the material. The course is focused on practicality and does not dwell on abstract or overly-academic Data Science. Instead, the instructor introduces concepts and moves to simple but clearly generalizable examples to inspire your future work.
