Saturdays, 12–2 pm ET · Sat 14 Nov – Sat 5 Dec · $900 founding price

Who it's for

For professionals who'd rather show than tell.

Employed, building on the side

You have a day job and want a real AI project to show for it, not another course certificate.

Has a project in mind

One user, one job, one AI workflow. In the first session we cut it to what ships in four weeks.

Uses AI tools already

If you've made anything with Cursor, Claude Code or similar, you're ready. No CS degree needed.

How it runs

One live evening a week. Help every weekday.

Every Saturday, 12–2 pm ET (9–11 am PT): two 45-minute sittings with a 30-minute break. On other days you build, and we work async in a private Slack channel, so it fits around your job.

Every week

Learn it Saturday. Build it all week.

Each week ends with a milestone you demo, so you never fall behind quietly.

  • Saturday, 12–2 pm ET: sitting one is demos and the week's idea, built live. Then a 30-minute break. Sitting two is a build-along to start your milestone.
  • Monday: the week's brief in Slack, with notes and a short drill in the cohort app.
  • Every weekday: a daily check-in thread (shipped, stuck, next), and answers in Slack within 24 hours.
  • Mid-week: a recorded review of your build, with what to fix next.
  • Recorded: every session, in case you miss one.
