What you'll learn

Architect Your Own Solutions

Map features to backend logic so you can build without waiting. You'll leave with a "Napkin Architecture" for your app.

Direct AI Like a CTO

Define data flows so you can force the AI to code correctly. You'll leave with a "System Prompt" that controls the AI.

Evaluate Technical Feasibility

Identify latency errors so you can troubleshoot delays. You'll leave with a debugging mental model.

Why this topic matters

"Vibe Coding" made syntax free, but Architecture is what separates toys from tools. If you can design it, you can now build it yourself. This lesson uses the "Digital Restaurant" framework to teach you the system design needed to direct AI. Stop managing the backlog—become the backlog. Capture the career leverage of a "Super Individual" by doing the job of both PM and Engineer.

You'll learn from

Nathn Wang

AI Builder & PhD Engineer. Taught 50k+ students. Formerly at Apple.

I don't just teach theory; I architect systems. I’ve shipped 15 AI products in 15 weeks by applying the same rigorous system design principles I used at Apple.

  • Ph.D. in Engineering: Deep expertise in how complex systems (hardware + software) function together.
  • Ex-Apple Architect: I worked on the core technology integrating hardware and software for the iPhone, MacBook, Apple Watch, and AirPods. I specialize in making the "Engineering Black Box" transparent.
  • Cross-Disciplinary Builder: I bridge the gap between "Product Vision" and "Engineering Reality"—exactly what the Digital Restaurant framework is designed to solve.
  • Early Adopter: I've already dissected the architecture of Gemini 3.0 Pro + Claude Opus 4.5 to show you how to structure data flows that prevent hallucinations.


I've spent 15+ years at the intersection of AI, software, and hardware:

  • As an Educator: Taught 50,000+ students on platforms like Udemy and LinkedIn Learning. I've developed 20+ courses and know exactly where non-technical PMs get stuck.
  • As an AI Builder: Shipped 15 AI products in 15 weeks: Momento AI, Kindred AI, Context AI, and more. I didn't just "prompt" them; I architected them to scale.
  • As a Software Engineer: Built 20+ applications across web, iOS, and Android. I know the difference between a "glitchy demo" and a "production app."
  • As a Hardware Engineer: Designed CPUs/GPUs for 5 years. I understand the constraints of the machine so you don't have to.


Here's what I learned:

You don't need a CS degree to direct engineers. You don't need to memorize syntax. You need a shared language. In this Lightning Lesson, I'll show you The Digital Restaurant—the visual framework behind all 15 of my products. My mission: Help Product Managers and Founders become "Technical Architects" who lead with confidence, not confusion. For founders and enterprise leaders, I also maintain a private Inner Circle for 1:1 implementation, but this Lightning Lesson is the exact starting point I recommend for everyone.


Why trust me?

I've been on every side of the table:

  • Deep Research: PhD & Apple Engineering
  • Practical Building: Shipped 15 AI products in 15 weeks—real apps, not demos
  • Teaching: Refined over 20+ courses and 50,000+ students


Beyond Antigravity, I’m using these same architectural patterns to build a memory-first personal AI agent OS – wiring tools, memory, and logging so agents compound over time.


This Lightning Lesson gives you the core blueprint behind both: how to map your vision to technical reality. You’ll be able to sketch this architecture for any idea you have next.

I'll show you the shortcut. See you in the session.


Important Notes

  • ⚠️ One-time live session — I'm teaching this framework once. If you miss it, you miss it.
  • 📹 Can't attend live? No problem — I'll send the full recording link to all registrants (but live attendees get priority Q&A).


🚀 Serious about shipping?

This 30-minute session is a high-speed overview. If you are already looking for a structured 3-week build sprint or private implementation help, check the Go Deeper Link to secure a seat in the February cohort before the price jump.
