📌 Enrollment Notes: - Flipped Classroom: All lectures are pre-recorded, so you can go at your own pace.- Live Learning: We’ll still meet for 24+ hours of live sessions &amp; office hours 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 is a great chance to secure your spot.--- You had an AI SaaS 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 who are just as committed as you are. 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 technical entrepreneurs. The only prereq: you're comfortable with coding (or vibe-coding). --- ⭐️ 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• 2 weekly office hours with the teaching assistant for additional support• Access to a private community of fellow AI builders• Direct feedback on projects from the instructor and TA• (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 with coding (or vibe-coding) experience. This is a great fit for...• Solo founders building AI-powered products or MVPs• Tech consultants offering AI/LLM-based solutions• 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• RAG Chatbot over LLM Medium blog posts• YouTube video Agent• Notion MCP Agent• Fine-tuning LLM response style• Fine-tuning BERT for text classification
