Everything's changing. Become top 0.5% at using AI to future-proof yourself.

The challenge in this new AI era: new AI models are released weekly and new applications are released daily. There's so much to learn, yet so little time. Right?

If you're like most ambitious professionals, you're not new to AI.

You try the new models as they're released. You attempt to use the tools daily, whether you're in operations organizing your team's work, a doctor attempting to find and reference a medical study, or an engineer using Cursor. But you know that you're only scratching the surface.

• Your usage feels ad-hoc, high effort, and low ROI. Using AI is a job in itself.

• You don't trust the outputs you get, but you don't know why or how to fix it.

• You see others use AI in a way that gives them superpowers you haven't yet felt.

The AI Fluency Bootcamp is the only course designed for beginners and advanced users alike. Learn model mechanics, AI system design, and agent foundations -- so that you get elite results across any tool or model. You'll be able to use AI more often, better than your peers, and in a way that puts you ahead -- whether you're in a conversational app like ChatGPT or an agentic tool like Claude Code.

What you’ll learn

Build permanent AI muscle, master the foundations of how AI actually works, and adopt future-proof tactics for the highest quality outputs.

  • You'll learn about the cognitive architecture that underpins not just LLMs, but the way that products and apps are built around them.

  • These patterns will work across AI models and will continue working as systems evolve.

  • It's hard for even the most AI-passionate people to integrate and reliably, consistency use AI products.

  • I'll give you systems, shortcuts, and methods for making it second nature -- we'll build your AI muscle.

  • You'll know why non-engineers should use Claude Code, how you should judge new tools, and methods for integrating AI into your workflows.

  • Feel in command of the future rather than chasing fake Zapier or n8n workflows that overpromise and underdeliver.

  • You'll master the art of progressive refinement, building complex outputs and systems, and be able to leverage all of this to be top .5%...

  • ... whether that's at work, with a hobby, with a side project, or with something personal.

AI for PMs: 10x Your Design Exploration

Build systematic exploration workflows with AI agents

Learn a 'theory explosion' framework: use Figma Make + agents to generate divergent concepts, coded prototypes, + flows.

Structure component-level experiments for deep learning

Nested explore: use subdirectories of variations on single elements -- hero sections, dashboard UX -- and auto-remix.

Shift from iteration to radically exploratory systems

Learn to build on top of your existing products or on new projects in a way that makes this all easy, fun, + impressive!
