“I walked into the bootcamp without knowing anything about LLMs. Six weeks later, I’m confident I can design, build, and ship AI-powered apps—and that portfolio helped me land my new role.”

How It Works

One evolving project — start with a chatbot, finish with a production-style AI agent
PR-driven feedback — submit milestones as GitHub pull requests, get inline code review, revise, and merge
Slack + office hours — ask questions anytime in Slack, drop into office hours when you need help
Self-paced — target 6–8 weeks, but you set the schedule

Not Your Typical Bootcamp

No lectures and no videos to sit through
No synced deadlines or quizzes
No toy projects — one system that grows with every course
You build, submit PRs, get feedback, iterate — and graduate with a real project, a real workflow, and a story for interviews

What You’ll Do

Build your own AI agent: You’ll start with a simple chatbot and build it into a fully featured AI system — yours to keep and showcase on GitHub.
Learn industry-ready skills: Master LLM fundamentals, prompt engineering, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), guardrails, agentic AI, and tool integration.
Work like a professional: Use GitHub pull requests, automated tests, code reviews, and TODO-driven scaffolding to practice professional SDLC workflows.
