Course overview

In just one week, you will transform your approach to AI product development.

THE PROBLEM:


In the developer community, there is a paradox: everyone acknowledges that AI is a true game changer, yet the vast majority of professionals either don’t use AI tools at all, or limit their use to very superficial tasks.


Main barriers to adoption:


☑️ Unsuccessful first experience: no results → motivation drops → you gave up.

☑️ Lack of time: Everyday tasks, persomal commitments, and work leave no resources for learning new, even promising, technologies.

☑️ Lack of understanding of the approach: Unclear how to effectively embed AI into the workflow so that it brings real value instead of becoming a distraction.

☑️ Analysis paralysis: Drowning in AI tools, no idea where to start or how to turn them into real outcomes.

☑️ External pressure without support: Management demands “AI adoption,” but doesn’t provide training or time for adaptation.



Our Solution & Who It’s For



✅ This program is designed for tech professionals — developers, team leads, and architects — who recognize the importance of AI, want to start using it, but need a structured and practical way to begin.


✅ Our intensive 1 week cohort-based course gives you more than theory — you’ll walk away with real experience, practical skills, and the confidence to apply AI in your daily work.


✅ You'll get hands-on experience and confidence in applying AI through voice programming.



The Outcome


By the end of the week, you will move from simple curiosity to building your own working AI-powered product and understanding how to integrate multi-agent AI solutions into your daily workflow.


You’ll walk away not only with a working AI prototype but also with practical experience in voice programming, enabling you to code faster and more efficiently — with up to 5x speed boost.



🚨 Beta Launch Pricing 🚨

Despite our strong track record in building educational programs outside of Maven, this is our first course on this platform. For the beta launch, we’re offering a one-time deal:


$300 Early Bird Price — available until September 30 with promo code WELCOME

This is a one-time beta launch offer — future cohorts will be priced much higher.


Secure your spot now and be among the first to experience this program at a fraction of its full value.



WHAT TO EXPECT:


✅ 1 week, 3 live focus sessions (8 hours total) — each dedicated to a core way AI is applied in modern development.

✅ Generous office hours for feedback, plus guided intensive practice with opportunities for informal connection.

✅ A powerful mix of learning, building, and networking — designed to shift your mindset and accelerate your skills.

✅ By the end of the week, you will have your own working prototype and a completely new perspective on AI as a programming tool.





WHY LEARN FROM US?


We offer our own Voice-First AI Development Method — building AI solutions and pioneering a unique, highly efficient way of developing software using voice.


Voice Programming — The Superpower

At the core of this method is voice-driven programming combined with AI agents. Valentine codes almost entirely by voice, a practice is called Voice-First Development:


We speak 3–5x faster than we type, giving LLMs richer and more precise context.

Ideas flow directly from the mind into code, bypassing the bottleneck of manual typing.

Developers experience a natural, conversational flow with AI, making coding faster and more intuitive.


The Value

✅ By merging AI as a coding partner with voice-first interaction, this method delivers:

✅ Up to 20% increase in coding speed and productivity.

✅ Shorter feedback loops — moving from idea to prototype in record time.

✅ Accelerated innovation — empowering teams to test, learn, and iterate faster than ever before.


This is not just a technique. It is a methodology: a structured, experience-backed system for integrating AI and voice into software development — The Voice-First AI Development Method.



COUSE OVERVIEW

Day 1: AI as Your Co-pilot — Build at the Speed of Thought


🧠 Changing your perception of development. We'll focus on live, hands-on coding, using AI to go from an idea to a working prototype without touching much code manually. You'll learn to act as an architect, guiding AI tools to build effectively.


- The New Developer Mindset: Shift from writing code line-by-line to orchestrating AI solutions.

- Live Prototyping: Build a real project from scratch, using tools like Claude Code, Cursor, MCP servers, and voice commands.

- Mastering Prompts: Learn to craft effective instructions that generate high-quality, production-ready code.


🧑‍💻 Office hours 

While working on your home project, you’ll have the opportunity to attend office hours with us, where you can ask questions and receive feedback on your project.



Day 2: AI as the Core — Integrating Intelligence

🧠 Now that you've seen the speed, let's look under the hood. This day covers the architecture, models, and practical methods for embedding AI intelligence directly into your applications.


- The AI Ecosystem: An overview of the essential models, agents, and platforms.

- How LLMs Work: A straightforward guide to the principles behind the magic.

- Core AI Techniques: Learn key approaches like RAG, MCP, and building AI agents.

- Hands-on Integration: Add a smart AI feature to the prototype you built on Day 1.


🧑‍💻 Office hours 

While working on your home project, you’ll have the opportunity to attend office hours with us, where you can ask questions and receive feedback on your project.



Day 3: Hands-On Workshop — Build and Solve Together 


🧠 A fully practical day dedicated to live coding. We'll tackle your homework challenges together, debug issues, and find the best solutions as a group to solidify your skills.


- Live Code Review: We'll review and improve homework submissions together.

- Collaborative Problem-Solving: Get unstuck by solving tough challenges in real-time.

- AI Debugging & Testing: Learn practical techniques for testing and debugging AI systems.

- Project Deep Dive: In-depth Q&A and guidance on your specific projects.


🍻Bonus: Networking & Community Hangout (not recorded) 

An open space for informal conversations, experience sharing, and making valuable connections with peers.

Who is this course for

01

Software developers who recognize the power of AI and eager to put it into practice, but need a structured, hands-on way to get started.

02

Team leads and software architects looking for the ways to boost team’s performance and unlock smarter ways of working.

03

Business leaders & founders

seeking to gain the technical understanding needed to make informed decisions.

Prerequisites

  • For experienced developers

    This course is built by a software engineer for engineers who already have hands-on coding experience.

  • Comfortable with building prototypes

    We’ll move fast: expect to write code, experiment, and develop a working prototype during the intensive.

  • Language-agnostic approach

    Your preferred programming language doesn’t matter — the focus is on concepts, workflows, and practical application.

What you’ll get out of this course

Experience how to build a working prototype almost without touching code — simply by “talking” to AI assistants.


Break the psychological barrier and feel the “wow effect” of creating at the speed of thought.


Act as an architect and conductor, setting tasks for AI, refining outputs, and assembling ready-made blocks into a functional product.


You will have your own working prototype and a completely new perspective on AI as a programming tool.


Learn how to move from using AI as an external tool to embedding it directly into your product.

Gain a clear understanding of how AI models and agent-based approaches work “under the hood” — in simple and practical terms.

Explore proven methods and techniques, such as AI Tools, MCP, RAG, CoT, and Multi-Agent systems, and learn how to apply them.

As a result, you will not only code with AI but also know how to design and integrate intelligent features into your own apps.
