Course overview
Unlock the power of AI to design and lead AI-powered products & experiences—without writing a single line of code!
AI is transforming product and design, but most AI education is either too technical for business leaders or too theoretical to be useful.
No-Code AI Essentials is the only course built for product managers and designers who want to confidently integrate AI into their products using practical, real-world frameworks and learn AI by getting hands-on.
💡 What You’ll Learn:
How to evaluate AI opportunities and pick the right projects for your users & business.
How to design intuitive AI interactions that actually work for people.
How to prototype AI-driven experiences with no-code tools.
How to measure success and avoid AI pitfalls (bias, hallucinations, poor user trust).
Taught by industry pros who’ve built AI at Amazon, Google, and Uber, this course cuts through the hype to give you the frameworks and tools to make AI work—the right way.
🛠 What You’ll Get:
✅ 4 live virtual workshops with Polly & Rupa—learning from proven AI educators whose courses rank Top 3 on Reforge (by NPS) and are Maven bestsellers.
✅ A downloadable AI Product & Design Playbook—filled with real-world tools, templates, and checklists.
✅ A video walkthrough of no-code AI tools—so you can start experimenting right away.
✅ Lifetime access to our AI by Design community—where leaders like you share insights, resources, and job opportunities.
📌 By the end of this course, you’ll have:
✔ A tested process for evaluating, designing, and leading AI initiatives.
✔ Confidence in using no-code AI tools to validate ideas fast.
✔ The skills to build AI-powered products & UX—without needing a technical background.
