The AI Internship - We Train the AI-Native Workforce.

The AI Internship is led by two founders who build and ship AI for a living. Aki Wijesundara, PhD, is an AI researcher and educator, a Google AI Accelerator alum and Senior AI Advisor to the United Nations, who has taught 10,000+ professionals to design and deploy production AI.

Manu Jayawardana is an exited AI founder (Rise AI, 35,000+ users), Co-Founder and CEO of Krybe, an NVIDIA Inception voice-AI startup, and Co-Founder of Snapdrum, where he builds production AI for Fortune 500s and YC startups. Together they pair research depth with real-world execution, so every course, workshop and service is taught by people who do this work, not just teach it.

Alumni reviews

AI Engineering Bootcamp and Certificate

The bootcamp moves quickly and there is a lot of material covered. If this is your first introduction to agent development, if will be challenging - in a good way. I gained a deeper understanding of what is going on "under the hood" and what is required to deliver production-ready systems. Aki was fantastic instructor and answered questions patiently. The presentation decks and meeting videos were extremely helpful as review material once I actually got into the work for each week's deliverables.

The Enterprise AI Playbook

This course completely changed how I approach product launches. Manu built a genuinely practical, no-fluff GTM playbook that covers everything from ICP definition and positioning to launch sequencing and cross-functional alignment, all with AI-assisted execution. In just 2 live sessions, I walked away with a reusable GTM Playbook, launch templates, a strategy canvas, and the AI prompts to run future launches faster. What I loved most is that the skills are immediately applicable, I used what I learned before the course even ended. If you're a PM, founder, or leader tired of launches that underperform despite great products, this is the course you've been waiting for. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to turn strategy into revenue.

Agentic AI Builder's Bootcamp

The AI PM Bootcamp & Certification was genuinely one of the most valuable learning experiences I’ve had. The program does an incredible job of breaking down complex AI concepts into clear, practical frameworks you can actually use in real product work. Instead of staying high‑level, the bootcamp pushes you to think like an AI product leader — from problem framing and prompt engineering to evaluation, safety, and real‑world deployment. What stood out most was how hands‑on everything felt. You’re not just listening; you’re building, experimenting, and getting direct feedback that sharpens your thinking. The instructors and mentors are deeply knowledgeable and truly invested in your growth. If you’re serious about leveling up in AI — whether you’re transitioning into AI product or strengthening your technical understanding — this bootcamp is absolutely worth it. I walked away with clarity, confidence, and a toolkit I’m already using in real projects. Highly recommend!!

Agentic AI Builder's Bootcamp

This course was a very practical and well-structured introduction to building and evaluating AI products. What stood out to me most is how quickly you move from theory into actually shipping something; from prompt to app, including deployment and evaluation. I also appreciated how the course reduces the barrier to entry. Tools like Lovable, Claude Code, Cursor, and n8n make it possible to build meaningful AI systems without being a classical developer, while still encouraging a deeper understanding of what’s happening under the hood. Overall, I would recommend this course to anyone working in product, business analysis, or testing who wants to move closer to AI engineering and build real, usable systems rather than just talk about them.
