📌 Enrollment Notes: • Flipped Classroom: All lectures are pre-recorded, so you can go at your own pace.• Live Learning: We’ll still meet for 16+ hours of live sessions &amp; guest lectures to maximize hands-on learning and interaction.• Same-Day Recordings: All live sessions are recorded and shared same-day, so you’ll never fall behind.• Lifetime Access: You’ll keep access to all course materials, recordings, and resources—forever.• Next cohort will be the last of 2025, so if you've been on the fence, now's a great time to enroll!--- So you had an AI App idea. But then came the chaos… - You vibe-coded a prototype that was fragile and impossible to ship- You burned $5,000 on an AI engineer who built something you couldn’t use (or explain)- You gave away equity to an “AI co-founder” who ghosted when things got hard- You binged 100 hours of AI content and still couldn’t connect the dots 👉 The real problem?Most founders try to build an AI product without understanding how AI actually works.Reading X threads, hiring consultants, or watching YouTube gives you surface-level knowledge, but not the expertise to build with confidence. The fix? 🔨Real expertise comes from one thing: building. And that's exactly what we do in this bootcamp. Over 6 weeks, you’ll build real-world AI projects with direct guidance from me and a community of founders. By the end, you won’t just understand AI. You’ll be able to...- Ship your custom AI solution- Avoid fragile architectures and buzzword traps- Speak "AI", not just parrot buzzwords- Know exactly who to hire (and who to ignore) This is a hands-on cohort for people who want to build AI apps. The only prereq: you know (or want to learn) how to code. --- ⭐️ Course Benefits &amp; Outcomes 1) Overwhelmed → clear and confidentGet a structured path that removes the guesswork and shows you exactly what to focus on.2) Scattered resources → real projects that make AI clickBuild practical apps with Python, OpenAI, and Hugging Face.3) Boring tutorials → engaging, hands-on learningWork on real projects with expert guidance and a community that keeps you motivated.4) “I can’t keep up” → “I know what matters”Learn the key foundations and patterns behind modern AI systems—so you can adapt as the field evolves.5) I need AI skills → actually using themWalk away with the ability and confidence to build AI automations, apps, and MVPs that solve real problems.6) From “I can code” → “I can ship AI apps”Bridge the gap between your programming skills and AI engineering. You’ll walk away knowing how to build with LLMs, RAG, agents, and fine-tuning. 📚 What's Included?• 6 weekly live, hands-on sessions with the instructor• 8 pre-recorded modules so you can learn at your own pace• 10+ example projects with complete, reusable code• Guest lectures from course alumni on real-world use cases and products• Access to a private community of fellow AI builders• Direct feedback on projects from the instructor• (Optional) peer groups for accountability and collaboration ✅ Who should take this course?This course is designed for founders who want to build custom AI apps. This course is ideal for people who have coded before (or are eager to learn). This is a great fit for...• Solo founders building AI-powered products or MVPs• Tech consultants who want to offer AI/LLM-based solutions- Technical PMs who want to turn their ideas into working prototypes (fast)• Entrepreneurs exploring AI tools to automate, enhance, or scale their businesses• Side-project builders who want to turn AI ideas into working prototypes• Tech leaders seeking a clear understanding of AI to lead teams and initiatives. ❌ Who should NOT take this course?• People seeking mathematical and algorithmic details behind AI development• People who want to learn LLMOps• Students at the beginning of their career 🧑‍💻 12+ example projects we’ll build together...• AI Job Board Scraper• Interactive AI Job Dashboard• ML-based email classifier• Research paper summarizer• LLM-based text classifier• (Local) Document QA Chatbot• Structuring unstructured survey data• Blog post RAG system• YouTube video Agent• Notion MCP Agent• Fine-tuning LLM response style• Fine-tuning BERT for text classification Free Bonuses 🎁📒 30 AI Project Ideas Guide🤖 Custom AI Project GPT to help you build💻 Bonus Session: Setting up your AI dev environment🧑‍🏫 Unlimited free enrollment in future cohorts via guest lectures
