Cohort 1

Cohort 2

Our goal is to get you from novice to AI power user in two weeks. This course is a practical system for PMs who want to go from "I use ChatGPT to ask questions for work" to "I use coding agents to brainstorm, build, and test new product features." The course is built by real AI practitioners who use Claude Code and Cursor every single day. Everything we teach comes from the frontlines of AI product building.This is best suited for PMs who need to quickly level up and upskill with AI. Companies are expecting PMs to ship faster and own broader scope while remaining hands on. You'll be actively building live during the lessons and master techniques that you can apply immediately at work.This is not just a coding course. It's a product management master class using AI across research, design, data, engineering, and marketing.We intentionally limit enrollment to ensure personalized attention during live building sessions. Get direct feedback on your specific AI product challenges, and gain meaningful connections with your fellow AI PMs.You can read reviews and testimonials from our previous course here for <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://maven.com/aman-khan/thriving-as-an-ai-pm">AI PM Playbook </a>(4.8/5 46 reviews).

Become an AI-native PM and use coding agents for every part of your work

Brainstorm useful product features that you'll actually build

Build prototypes you can use to communicate ideas

Become an expert at Claude Code

Use AI across your entire development workflow

We'll help you get Cursor set up, but some familiarity with coding/debugging will go a long way here (i.e. being able to read python code)

Familiarity with code recommended (but not required)

Product Managers&nbsp;looking for best practices on how AI is transforming product development.

UX Designers who want to bring their ideas to life and build real applications.

Job seekers&nbsp;aiming to create portfolio projects and stand out in the job market.

Get from scattered prompts to semi-automated systems that run with minimal time from you—and run evals to find what works best.

In 2 weeks, you'll go from Claude running superficial scans of your discovery data to rock-solid decisions from continuous workflows. No missed hidden gems. No hallucinations you didn't catch. Just insights you can actually bet your career on. From workflows that let you gather customer signal on repeat. Free Claude Code tutorials teach you how to use the tool to go faster. But faster can also = superficial. This course teaches you to build insight systems that are fast, validated, and run with minimal effort. -- You'll build systems that: - Have trustworthy verification built-in - Apply your own style and process that you know works - Minimize unnecessary context window/token use - Deliver customer signals in half the time

10x faster insights—that are actually right.

Build systems for insights that are FAST *and* RIGHT

Connect + update everything, export nothing

Know what works -- and prove it

Ship with confidence

You have a computer you're allowed to install Claude Code on and give file access to (Mac, Windows, or Linux).


You're allowed to use Claude Code on your computer

Claude Pro or Max subscription (from $20/month), or Anthropic developer console account with credits (pay as you go).

You have Claude Pro or Max

You'll get the most out of the course if you can practice with some of your own data - and even connect to sources like Google Drive, Notion

Recommended: Your own data

You're a PM who's watched free Claude Code tutorials--but know you can't trust their superficial synthesis. You need systems for big bets.

You're a Researcher or Designer who want to 10x your analysis speed without sacrificing reliability.

You're making product decisions from qualitative or quantitative customer data<ul><li></li></ul>

Go from trial-and-error prompting to systematic AI-assisted building. Ship functional projects with a workflow you can use on every project

The job posting asks for a designer who can research, prototype, code, and ship. One role, three people's worth of expectations. Design teams got smaller. The work did not. And now every product roadmap includes AI features that need to be designed by people who were never trained to design for probabilistic systems.The pressure is coming from two directions. Inside your organization, you are expected to move faster with fewer resources while somehow incorporating AI tools into workflows no one has figured out yet. Outside, the profession itself is shifting. AI generates interfaces, writes copy, produces prototypes in minutes. The execution work that built your career is compressing. The question is no longer whether designers need to adapt—it is whether you are building the skills that will matter in two years.Claude Code for Designers answers both pressures at once. You move faster because you can build functional prototypes yourself. You stay relevant because directing AI to build is the new execution skill. You leave with a deployed project and a workflow system you can use on anything that comes next.

Master Claude Code. Build functional projects. Develop a reusable workflow.

An AI-First Build Workflow: From project scoping through deployment

A Reusable Workflow System: Templates, specs, prompt libraries, MCP configs

A Deployed Application: Ship a functional project from your own idea

Portfolio artifacts and fluency to discuss AI-assisted design in interviews

This course assumes working knowledge of design systems, user research, and product workflows.

5+ years of professional design experience

Experience using AI assistants in your workflow. The course moves quickly and assumes baseline comfort.

Familiarity with AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, Copilot)

Product Designers. You design in Figma and wait on engineering. You want to build and ship functional prototypes yourself.

Design Leaders. Your team needs to move faster and integrate AI workflows. You want firsthand fluency before rolling this out.

MXDAI Alumni. You have the strategic frameworks for AI design. Now you want the execution skill to match.

Master Claude Code, skills, subagents, browser automation, and Cowork—transforming from AI user to builder delivering business outcomes.

You're using Claude for one-off tasks while others build AI systems that scale expertise, automate operations, and ship products. Your workflows stay ad-hoc. Ideas stay trapped waiting on engineering. Skills and knowledge locked in your head can't compound. You can't lead AI initiatives without hands-on credibility.In 5 weeks, you'll build:✅ Foundation: Configure your builder stack and design systematic workflows✅ Agent Skills: Build Claude skills that execute your expertise on demand✅ Collaborative Workflows: Build workflows where Claude works WITH you✅ Autonomous Workflows: Build multi-agent systems and browser automations that run workflows independently✅ Applications: Build and ship a web app prototype using agentic coding—no engineering required✅ Productivity: Apply Cowork on tasks to accelerate impactI've trained 5K+ leaders at UC Berkeley and spent a decade at Microsoft. My Hands-on Agentic AI course is rated 4.8/5 by students. You get intimate cohorts, 1:1 coaching, and lifetime access. We build together—not lectures.The agentic era rewards builders. Become one.
