Gain skills you can use anywhere

This course is for you, if you're coming from a non-technical background and can't code (like product managers, marketeers and designers)

This bootcamp is perfect if you want to learn real AI skills and tools not just prompt hacks.

This bootcamp is perfect if you’ve never shipped a product by yourself yet, and want to change that.

🚨 Independent offering. This course is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or related to any of the instructor’s current or past employers. This course is a practical roadmap for PMs who want to go from "I understand what RAG is" to "I shipped an AI product that customers love." Over 4 weeks of hands-on, interactive sessions, you'll bridge the gap between AI knowledge and shipping success. This is best suited for PMs who have at least a theoretical grasp on the latest AI concepts (RAG, MCP, Evals) and who have played around with prototyping tools like Replit, Bolt but are looking to bring AI features from prototype to production inside their companies. At the end of this course, you’ll leave able to:&nbsp; - Build and deploy functional AI agents for your personal and team workflows. - Define Your H1/H2 AI Roadmap, and lead AI product strategy with confidence and credibility. - Evaluate AI product performance with robust metrics beyond simple accuracy, or toxicity.&nbsp;After years of building AI products, I’ve noticed something surprising: every PM building with generative AI obsesses over crafting better prompts and using the latest LLM, yet almost no one masters the hidden lever behind every exceptional AI product: evaluations. - Take prototypes to production with clear implementation plans. - Collaborate effectively with AI engineers, executives and stakeholders.&nbsp; - Learn how to identify and hire great AI PMs for your team. --- WHAT TO EXPECT 1. We’ll prototype an AI product (I.e. use code gen with Cursor / Replit + langgraph/crew) to build an agentic application/system, relevant to your work or life. If you don’t have an idea, I’ll provide one/walk through one. We’ll build it together. 2. We’ll breakdown how code gen agents work to understand the inner workings of an AI product/feature (main components).Evals are the hidden lever behind every exceptional AI product. We’ll explore this in practice by running evals on your prototype and iterating on the prompt. 3. We’ll talk about best practices for getting to production, what to think about when you have real user data, how to work together with an AI team.&nbsp; 4. We’ll turn your prototype + eval system + learnings into an “AI strategy doc/artifact” that you could use to convey this ai feature to others on your team/stakeholders --- This course will be very hands-on – you’ll build real tools, evaluation frameworks, and develop implementation plans!&nbsp; - 4 week live sprint: 8 interactive live sessions packed with vibe-coding labs, eval workshops, and peer feedback loopsAll sessions will be recorded and available to students asynchronously. - Built by and led by a current practitioner – I’m sharing the playbook I use as Head of Product at Arize AI (supports companies like Uber, Instacart, Discord, Reddit) and Spotify to help hundreds of engineers launch AI-powered products. - I'll also host a dedicated Slack community where you can communicate with me and other participants.&nbsp; - All sessions will be recorded and available to students asynchronously. This is not a theoretical course about AI concepts—it's a practical roadmap for product managers who want to go from "I understand what RAG is" to "I shipped an AI product that customers love." Over 4 weeks of hands-on, interactive sessions, you'll bridge the gap between AI knowledge and shipping success.

Design, prototype, and ship AI-powered products that delight customers

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)

We will have sessions twice a week for 4 weeks until the last week, for a total of 7 sessions.

Mondays and Wednesdays

There will be assignments after each session to reinforce what you learned in the lesson.

Course schedule


Product Managers familiar with AI terms and concepts (LLMs, RAG, etc.) that wants to move beyond prompting to building actual AI products

PMs transitioning to AI-focused roles who see AI product leadership as their career differentiator in the next 1-2 years

Product Leaders and Executives responsible for AI strategy who need practical frameworks for evaluating and implementing AI initiatives

What makes this course unique


This course will be focused on outcomes. I've intentionally limited enrollment to ensure personalized attention during live building sessions, direct feedback on your specific AI product challenges, and meaningful connections with fellow AI-focused PMs.

Hands-On Learning in a Limited-Size Cohort

Create real AI agents and products you can use immediately—no theoretical exercises. You'll master the techniques needed to build agents that solve real problems and continuously improve over. We'll be using low code tools like Bolt, Replit and write code with Cursor

Learn by building - Live during the lesson

Each lesson includes templates and frameworks you can use the next day at your job. Learn the end-to-end process for taking AI products from concept to shipping success, including agent building, evaluation frameworks, implementation planning, and product strategy.

Apply immediately to your work

Move from prototype to production with detailed guidance on what changes when scaling AI. You'll learn strategies for maintaining quality at scale with evals while managing cost, latency, and performance constraints.

Focus on the full lifecycle

&nbsp;Learn the critical skill of designing and implementing evals that CPOs at OpenAI and Anthropic identify as essential. While everyone else is obsessing over prompts, I'll show you why evaluation frameworks are the true differentiator in AI product development.

Master evals as a PM

Analyze the best AI products on the market to identify patterns that create exceptional experiences. You'll develop frameworks for identifying high-value AI opportunities and aligning your organization around AI.

Develop AI product intuition

This isn't theory from someone who "used to" build AI products. I'm actively working with companies like Uber and Instacart to implement and improve their AI systems. Everything I teach comes from the frontlines of AI product building.
