AI is changing how products get built.Developers, PMs, founders, and builders know Claude Code can dramatically accelerate development. But most people still use AI like a better autocomplete: copying prompts, restarting chats, and struggling to build beyond simple prototypes.The industry has moved beyond single LLM interactions to agentic systems and harnesses. The real shift is learning to work with AI as a team.With this course, you'll:✅ Build effective CLAUDE.md files✅ Create reusable Skills✅ Design specialized subagents✅ Orchestrate agent teams with proven workflows✅ Evaluate AI outputs systematically✅ Ship real projects using AI-native workflowsThis isn't another prompt engineering course. You'll build alongside us, applying every concept to real projects using the same workflows we use to go from idea to implementation.By the end, you'll know how modern AI-native products are built and leave with repeatable workflows you can use long after the course ends. 💥 Want to be a Claude Certified Architect? As a member of the Claude Partner Network, we also provide a pathway to Claude Certified Architect, helping you prepare for and achieve certification through our partner ecosystem.

Cohort 6

I spent three months alone, trying to get started with Claude Code. I opened the terminal, saw that blinking cursor, and closed it again. And I kept struggling to make sense of this new interface, the folder structure, and the markdown files. It felt like so much friction.Until one project that required me to process a lot of local files. That was the moment I started to see the magic, the moment things started to click.Now I'm hooked, Claude Code in the terminal is my daily working environment for my AI and product consultancy work, research, writing and automation.My goal is to help you start using Claude Code in half a day, not in three months, as it took me. I'll show you how I'm using it and teach you concepts and mental models that will help you create your own setup.This workshop includes offline materials and an optional session to help you get everything running before the workshop begins; this way, we ensure everyone keeps the same pace.

How to use Claude Code as a non-technical user

Learn how to engineer Claude's context

Collaborate with Claude on your local files

Improve Claude Code's outputs with Skills

PMs, designers, and strategists who use AI daily but always start from scratch – and want one that remembers how they work.

Founders and team leads who want AI for real work – research, writing, analysis – not just a chatbot they prompt from scratch every time.

Non-technical professionals who assumed Claude Code was for developers – and want to get past the terminal fear in one afternoon.

Build a Claude Operating System that runs your PM work while you sleep.

Cohort 1

Most PMs are using Claude in a very limited way.In fact, 92.4% of PMs using AI every day report the same drawbacks: context loss, generic outputs, tools that forget everything between sessionsIn this workshop , you build the system that ends this.You will build persistent context, reusable skills, reviewer agents with memory, a code-enforced compliance rule, and a packaged plugin you can install on your own product the same day.A PM Operating System that lives inside Claude Code and Cowork, where Claude already knows your product, your stakeholders, and your strategy before you type a word.Where PM frameworks like the Opportunity Solution Tree and PRFAQ run automatically with one slash command. Where 5 specialist reviewers give you expert perspectives on any PRD in parallel.Where your engineering team's Slack messages feed directly into your PRD without copy-pasting anything. And where Cowork runs recurring workflows - competitor monitors, sprint summaries, Slack digests - while you sleep.You'll walk away with an OS that truly knows your product and the knowledge to extend it as your roadmap evolves.

You will learn how to build an end to end PM Operating System that compounds and saves you 15 plus hours a week.

Cohort Batch 2

You watched the YouTube tutorial. You installed Claude Code. You opened a terminal and stared at a blank folder.The bar for what anyone can build alone is rising fast. The gap between people who use AI tools and people who build AI systems widens every month. Most Claude Code attempts die in 20 minutes.Not because the tool is hard, but because nobody showed you what is possible before asking you to build.Tutorials &amp; self-paced courses don't get you there. You need an instructor watching as you build, and other builders alongside you so you don't disappear after Week 2.In 4 weeks, you build a Claude Code system that runs part of your business:✅ turns your inputs into your outputs in your voice;✅ connects to your real tools (Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, Calendar, Obsidian) through MCP servers;✅ automates multi-agent pipelines through a live Hot Seat Build;✅ reaches you on your phone; runs on a schedule without you.Taught live by Dheeraj Sharma, Founder of GenAI Unplugged, 9 AI products shipped, 75+ articles on building AI systems for solopreneurs.Session 1 Guarantee: Leave with clarity and confidence that this cohort is right for you. Else full refund. No questions.

Stop staring at the blank folder. Build a Claude Code AI system that ships.

01. Pick the right problem to automate with Claude Code 

02. Install Claude Code and ship your first working system

03. Build a knowledge layer that makes outputs sound like you

04. Wire your system into your real tools with MCP

05. Build multi-agent pipelines through a live Hot Seat Build

06. Run your first scheduled agent and ship your capstone

You will be typing in a terminal during live sessions. A real keyboard and full OS are required.

A laptop for each live session (Mac, Windows, or Linux. No tablet-only setups)

Claude Code runs on your Claude account. Free tier will hit limits during the live builds. Pro is the minimum.
