Course overview
Big Picture — Why this course
Why this course (for PMs, founders, and product-minded builders)
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
✅ Vercel/Render/HF Spaces to share demos with stakeholders
✅ Stripe (test) for pricing experiments and gated access
✅ GA4/Amplitude events for usage signals & product loops
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 walk away with
✅ Two shipped AI features + a capstone demo (hosted link + repo)
✅ A platform-agnostic playbook to turn any idea into a working demo in ≤ 1 hour
✅ PM-ready templates: AI PRD, prompt patterns, data schema blueprints, event tracking plans
✅ Confidence to lead AI initiatives and collaborate tightly with engineering
✅ Certificate of completion you can share on LinkedIn and with your employer
Who this is for
✅ Product Managers/Leads who want to prototype, not wait for tickets to clear
✅ Founders/Operators validating AI features before committing team time
✅ Design/UX/Research folks who want hands-on AI capability and clickable demos
✅ Consultants/Analysts proving value with working prototypes
Prerequisites: comfortable with web tools; curiosity to build. Light Python/JS helps but isn’t required — we provide hand-holding, snippets, and “choose-your-path” tracks.
What’s included
✅ 4 live workshops (90–120 min each) + office hours & peer reviews
✅ Lifetime access to recordings, repos, and templates
✅ Community of PMs & builders to collaborate and get feedback
✅ Certificate of completion (“AI Builder Bootcamp for Product People”)
✅ Tool credits (where available) and curated starter kits
✅ Backed by the Maven Guarantee (refund eligibility until the halfway point)
