There are endless AI tutorials and new tools every week, but no clear map to start. And now your company expects you to build AI Agents and lead AI projects.

If you've been ask to build AI Agents without a map, you're not alone. I've watched very smart professionals get stuck in tutorial loops, watching and never building, worried everyone else has figured it out. Learning the most important skill of your career shouldn't feel like drinking from a firehose.

"You don't need more content. You need a structured path."

I've spent 15 years building and launching AI products at Google and Microsoft, and I teach AI at Wharton Business School. This bootcamp is the structured path I give the builders and leaders I advise:

In 5 weeks, you'll go from lost in AI noise to the AI builder and leader your company trusts, with real multi-agent system to show for it.

  • Map the AI landscape: the mental model that turns AI noise into clear decisions.

  • Build real agents: Get hands-on exposure to building AI Agents. Build working multi-agent system, with or without code.

  • Lead: AI ROI case, decision framework, governance and ethics policy your org needs.

Testimonials

  • Priyanka has a remarkable ability to break down highly complex AI concepts and communicate them simply and clearly. As a visual learner, I found her teaching style incredibly effective, making abstract ideas easy to grasp and apply. If you are just starting out your journey in AI, I highly recommend this 5-week course to build real-world applications and gain practical confidence.

  • There is lot of free information around gen AI on internet which we can go through this course differentiates from other learning platform in various ways first is how to learn GenAI as it gave me understanding of basics which I think now is the correct way to learn it. Secondly it gave me hands on various concepts which we learn theoretically but never act on them. Thirdly I learnt a lot from other peers on the cohort which are working in different areas sharing new perspectives and finally Priyanka and Abhishek were always very helpful, very responsive and genuinely wanted to help us to learn. Overall, highly recommended and make the community strong and help each other navigate AI era together.

  • This course was very helpful to learn AI agents basics as well as build an AI Application using those learnings. Some of the additional topics covered about AI Ethics and Product Management were also very useful. I would certainly recommend this course to my colleagues!
