AI Builders Bootcamp
Shaw Talebi
Teaching 80,000+ AI builders on YouTube.
Build AI apps from idea → MVP (without hiring an engineer)
There are more resources than ever to start building AI apps.
But that's not necessarily a good thing... 😅
More options mean more confusion, more research, and more time "learning AI" instead of actually building it.
Here's the truth:
You don't need to learn everything to ship your first AI app.
→ You just need a clear vision of what you're trying to build.
That shift changes everything.
You stop chasing every new tool and start focusing on the 1–3 that actually matter for your use case. Each time you do this, your mental model of AI gets sharper, and building your next app becomes faster and easier.
If this mindset resonates, this program is for you.
Each week, we'll cover a key AI concept (e.g. context engineering, RAG, agents) and use it to build functional prototypes.
By the end, you'll be able to bring together all the pieces and build complete AI apps.
