Big Picture — Why this course
Why this course (for PMs, founders, and product-minded builders)
🚨 If you sign up within 24 hours, you get free access to our AI Engineering Bootcamp
The roadmap never slows down. Dev queues are real. This bootcamp lets you own the first mile: build credible AI prototypes yourself, validate faster, and walk into meetings with working demos — not just PRDs.
Over one focused month you’ll tour the AI-product toolchain, learn prompt-to-prototype workflows, and slot the right tools into a repeatable playbook:
✅ Lovable to go from concept → UI → working app (fast)
✅ Supabase for auth, Postgres, tables & row-level security
✅ n8n (and Make/Zapier) for automated back-office & product ops
✅ Cursor as your pair-programmer for code, tests, refactors
✅ Embeddings & vector search for RAG-style features
Each live session is practical, paced for product people, and ends with something shipped. Miss a session? You get lifetime access to recordings and materials.
What you’ll learn
Own the first mile — prototype real AI features using Lovable, Supabase, vector search, and n8n. No dev queues, just shipped demos.
Learn a fast prompt → UI → working app workflow using Lovable, enabling you to test concepts in hours, not weeks.
Use Supabase for real-world scaffolding: auth, Postgres tables, RLS, and product-ready data layers.
Automate product ops (notifications, async workflows, enrichment) using n8n.
Understand when to use embeddings, similarity search, and RAG-patterns for product use cases.
Build a working feature (search, Q&A, personalization, recommendations) using vector DBs.
Learn prompt engineering patterns for retrieval, grounding, and controlled generation.
Collaborate with Cursor as a pair-programmer to write, fix, and optimize production-quality code.
Generate tests, refactor components, and safely iterate without deep engineering expertise.
Understand common AI app structures so you can modify demos with confidence.
Use PM-ready frameworks: AI PRD, feature canvases, prompt patterns, schema blueprints.
Apply “choose-your-path” workflows for technical or no-code approaches.
Build habits for scoping small, shipping fast, and iterating based on real signals.
Learn how to translate product intent into technical steps engineers respect.
Understand the AI-product toolchain end-to-end so you can speak the same language as devs.
Leave with two shipped features, a capstone demo (repo + hosted link), and a certificate proving capability.
Who this course is for
Product Managers/Leads
Who want to ship AI prototypes themselves instead of waiting for engineering cycles.
Founders/Operators
Validating AI features quickly before investing dev time or budget.
Design/UX/Research
Teams who want hands-on AI capability, interactive demos, and faster user-testing.
Prerequisites
Basic familiarity with digital tools
✅ Comfortable with basic web tools (Notion, Figma, etc.)
Curiosity to build and experiment
✅ Eager to explore AI tools and turn ideas into real demos — no prior experience needed.
Optional coding awareness
✅ Light familiarity with Python or JavaScript helps, but all key snippets and templates are provided.
What's included
