Ship a Real AI Product Feature in Three Weeks, Without Writing Code
Your manager, your head of product, or someone in the C-suite wants an AI strategy "in the product by next quarter." You are the product manager who has to make it real, and no one handed you a method. In three weeks, this course gives you one: a repeatable process for taking any fuzzy AI product problem from a vague ask to a working prototype and a stakeholder-ready pitch, using the full Claude suite as your team. You will not watch someone else build. You will build, every week, and walk out with proof you can do it again.
What you’ll learn
Go from a vague executive AI ask to a working prototype and stakeholder pitch in three weeks, using Claude as your team.
Translate jargon like "figure out our AI strategy" into plain language your team can act on.
Pressure-test whether AI is actually the right solution, or whether a simpler fix wins.
Write a one-page problem brief your engineers, designers, and execs all read the same way.
Business, product, and AI-specific metrics that separate real signal from vanity metrics.
Set a quality bar for model behavior, so "good enough to ship" stops being a guess.
Decide upfront what evidence would tell you to kill the feature, not just scale it.
Use Claude Code and Claude Design to build in a single afternoon, no coding required.
Turn the prototype into a stakeholder demo that answers the budget question before it is asked.
Leave with a reusable prompt and spec pack you can point at your next AI problem.

Who this course is for
Aspiring PMs who want a portfolio piece proving they can ship an AI feature, not just talk about one.
Entry-to-mid-level PMs told to "figure out AI" with little guidance and no roadmap for where to start.
Designers, analysts, and engineers doing product work who want the AI method, not just the tooling.
Prerequisites
One real AI problem you want to solve
Every exercise runs on your own problem, from work or a side project. Bring a fuzzy ask and leave with something you can use.
A Claude account on a paid plan
You need Claude Code and higher usage limits to build during live sessions. A short setup checklist goes out before week one.
Comfort with ambiguity, not with code
No engineering background needed. You do need a willingness to think out loud and change your mind when the evidence says so.

You build one AI feature of your own across the three weeks. This is where most of your time goes, and where the method actually becomes yours.
Why this is not another AI tutorial
There is no shortage of free content about AI. There is a real shortage of a method you can defend in a room full of skeptical stakeholders.
Most AI courses teach you tools. You watch a demo, you feel capable for a week, and then a vice president asks what problem this solves and how you will know it worked, and the tool knowledge does not help you.
This course is built the other way around. You bring one fuzzy AI ask. Every week you take it one step further: from vague request to sharp problem statement, from problem statement to a success framework with metrics you can defend, from framework to a working prototype and a pitch. You build in the live session, not after it. I give feedback while you are still in the mess, which is when feedback actually changes the outcome.
By the end you have artifacts you can show and a repeatable process you can run again on the next problem, without me.
Frequently asked questions
A note from Freddy
I have spent over 20 years in product, design, and strategy across finance, media, defense, and startups, and the last 5 teaching it, most of that at General Assembly, to more than two thousand people across the US, UAE, Bahrain, and Egypt.
The pattern is the same in every room, in every country: smart, capable product people either freeze on AI work or spin their wheels on it. Not because the technology is beyond them, but because nobody handed them a method nor a starting point.
That is what this course is. Not hype and definitely not a tool tour. A method you can run on Monday, in a safe space, with me in the room while you run it the first time.
I train folks the way I like to learn: plain language, real examples, and a room where you can say "I have no idea what I am doing" without it costing you anything. Come in assuming you are wrong about something important – that's where the really good work starts.
