In 16 weeks, ship a deployed AI agent — and build every layer yourself.
One codebase, four milestones: a chatbot that speaks, a coding agent that acts, a full harness that plans and remembers, and a live product on a public URL. Graded by eval suites, proven on Demo Day.
Four milestones, one growing organism
Tech + Business
Every technical session pairs with a business mirror: price, position, and sell the exact agent you're building.
Give the LLM a Mouth
API fundamentals, system prompts, streaming, conversation state, and your first eval suite.
Give the LLM Hands
Tool schemas, the agent loop, file & shell tools — and the safety of letting a model act.
Build the Full Harness
Permissions, hooks, subagents, context compaction, skills, memory — the mechanisms behind real coding agents.
Ship It to the World
FastAPI service, Docker, Railway deploy, prompt-injection hardening, cost control — then Demo Day.

30 seats per cohort. Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis.
Questions
Do I need machine learning experience?
No. We use models; we don't train them. You need intermediate Python, basic Git, and about five hours a week outside class.
What if I can't attend a live session?
Sessions are recorded for enrolled students. Milestone reviews and Demo Day are live-participation, so plan around those four dates.
What does the course cost beyond the application fee?
An LLM API key (roughly $5–15/month of usage, budget-capped in class exercises) and a free-tier Railway account for deployment. Full cohort tuition details are shared during review.
Is there a refund policy?
Full refund before session 2, prorated through week 4, none after milestone 1 grading. Email us and we'll process it through Stripe.
What exactly do I walk away with?
A public repo with four months of commits, a deployed agent on a live URL, passing eval results for four milestones, a Demo Day recording, and a business case for the product you built.
