TAI Labs - We Train the AI-Native Workforce.

TAI Labs is led by two founders who build and ship AI for a living. Aki Wijesundara, PhD, is an AI researcher and educator, a Google AI Accelerator alum and Senior AI Advisor to the United Nations, who has taught 10,000+ professionals to design and deploy production AI.

Manu Jayawardana is an exited AI founder (Rise AI, 35,000+ users), Co-Founder and CEO of TAI Labs, an NVIDIA Inception voice-AI startup, and Co-Founder of Snapdrum, where he builds production AI for Fortune 500s and YC startups. Together they pair research depth with real-world execution, so every course, workshop and service is taught by people who do this work, not just teach it.

AI Engineering Bootcamp: Build AI Agents with Claude Code, RAG and MCP

Week 1 hit harder than I expected, and that was the point. I come from the product management and product owner side, so the assignments pushed me well outside my usual work. I made it through and delivered the capstone, ups and downs included. Reserve more time if engineering is not your day job. I found a mentor in the field. Thanks Aki and team.

AI Engineering Bootcamp: Build AI Agents with Claude Code, RAG and MCP

The bootcamp has given me a clear, well‑structured, and thoughtfully guided path to navigate the fast‑evolving world of AI technologies. Before joining, the pace of change in AI often felt overwhelming — new tools, new frameworks, new breakthroughs every week. But one of the most valuable lessons I learned here is that the best way to keep up is not to stress about the rapid evolution, but to jump in, build, and create real applications. This hands‑on approach has completely shifted my perspective. Instead of passively consuming content or “vibe coding,” I now understand how to design and build production‑ready AI systems with intention, clarity, and confidence. The bootcamp provided a holistic view of modern AI engineering — from agents and RAG systems to memory, orchestration, evals, and deployment — and showed how all these pieces fit together in real‑world applications. Aki’s guidance throughout the program has been exceptional. His teaching style, structure, and practical insights made complex concepts feel accessible and exciting. I’m genuinely grateful for the effort he put into making this bootcamp meaningful and transformative. I highly recommend this bootcamp to anyone who wants to move beyond theory and truly learn how to build real AI applications.

AI Engineering Bootcamp: Build AI Agents with Claude Code, RAG and MCP

This course really taught me everything from the basics to real-world applications. Dr. Aki structured it very well and made it digestible for someone new to the AI space. He is always there to help students, and his constructive comments always pushed me one step further. I would definitely take his course again!

AI Engineering Bootcamp: Build AI Agents with Claude Code, RAG and MCP

This is a course that let me update in the new techniques relevant to our AI Engineering Discipline (Evals, Memory, Harness Loops, etc where all included). The exercises are well designed as well as the accompanying material. Well done, Aki, Thanks!
