Course overview
You had an AI SaaS 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 who are just as committed as you are. By the end, you won’t just understand AI. You’ll be able to...
- Build the first version yourself
- Know exactly who to hire—and why
- Speak the same language as your technical team
- Avoid fragile architectures and buzzword traps
⭐️ Course Benefits & Outcomes

Build practical apps with Python, OpenAI, and Hugging Face—no more jumping between tabs.
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.
