Course overview
📌 Enrollment Notes:
• Flipped Classroom: All lectures are pre-recorded, so you can go at your own pace.
• Live Learning: We’ll still meet for 16+ hours of live sessions & guest lectures to maximize hands-on learning and interaction.
• Same-Day Recordings: All live sessions are recorded and shared same-day, so you’ll never fall behind.
• Lifetime Access: You’ll keep access to all course materials, recordings, and resources—forever.
• Next cohort will be the last of 2025, so if you've been on the fence, now's a great time to enroll!

You had an AI Product idea.
But then came the chaos…
- You vibe-coded a prototype that was fragile and impossible to ship
- You burned $5,000 on an AI engineer who built something you couldn’t use (or explain)
- You gave away equity to an “AI co-founder” who ghosted when things got hard
- You binged 100 hours of AI content and still couldn’t connect the dots
👉 The real problem?
Most founders try to build an AI product without understanding how AI actually works.
Reading X threads, hiring consultants, or watching YouTube gives you surface-level knowledge, but not the expertise to build with confidence.
The fix? 🔨
Real expertise comes from one thing: building.
And that's exactly what we do in this bootcamp.
Over 6 weeks, you’ll build real-world AI projects with direct guidance from me and a community of founders. By the end, you won’t just understand AI. You’ll be able to...
- Ship your custom AI solution
- Avoid fragile architectures and buzzword traps
- Speak "AI", not just parrot buzzwords
- Know exactly who to hire (and who to ignore)
This is a hands-on cohort for technical entrepreneurs. The only prereq: you're comfortable with coding (or vibe-coding).

⭐️ Course Benefits & Outcomes
1) Overwhelmed → clear and confident
Get a structured path that removes the guesswork and shows you exactly what to focus on.
2) Scattered resources → real projects that make AI click
Build practical apps with Python, OpenAI, and Hugging Face.
3) Boring tutorials → engaging, hands-on learning
Work on real projects with expert guidance and a community that keeps you motivated.
4) “I can’t keep up” → “I know what matters”
Learn the key foundations and patterns behind modern AI systems—so you can adapt as the field evolves.
5) I need AI skills → actually using them
Walk away with the ability and confidence to build AI automations, apps, and MVPs that solve real problems.
6) From “I can code” → “I can ship AI apps”
Bridge the gap between your programming skills and AI engineering. You’ll walk away knowing how to build with LLMs, RAG, agents, and fine-tuning.
