In Person Workshops
Five modules across three tracks — pick your level or bundle them for the full experience.
FundamentalsLearn the basics of AI (~3 hours)Learn how LLMs work, which models and tools to use, how to structure your prompts, and how vibe code your software and automations.
- Foundations: LLMs, pretraining, fine-tuning, prompting
- Prompt patterns (reasoning, tool use, CSV/JSON)
- Model selection basics
- Claude Chat, Cowork, Chrome Extension: deep research, tools, desktop automation, browser automation, artifacts
- AI Agents and workflows basics: tools, skills, reasoning loops
- Coding agents basics: Install and learn Cursor / Claude Code / Codex
Includes AI Socratic Certificate
Requires: Laptop · ChatGPT or Claude subscription
Advanced OperationsAutomate your business with AI (~4 hours)Learn how to write scripts to extract and enrich leads, then learn how to automate outreach, and put all together into a repeatable workflow.
- Setup your dev environment: Cursor / Claude Code / Codex
- Vibe code your own software (selfware)
- Search and scrape websites with Chrome, Playwright, and Firecrawl
- Extract and enrich leads with bespoke scripts and via Exa, Peopledatalab, & Clay
- Build a script to send personal messages via email, LinkedIn, social networks
- Combine all together into a repeatable workflow, learn cron jobs
Includes AI Socratic Certificate
Requires: Laptop · ChatGPT or Claude subscription
AI AgentsRecommended for EngineersBuild intelligent autonomous systems (~5 hours)Build AI agents from scratch with memory, tool calling, RAG, vector databases, embeddings, and reliability guardrails. You'll walk away with working agent code for your portfolio.
- Foundations: how agents work (plan → act → observe loop)
- Agent memory: short-term vs long-term (RAG vs state)
- When to use agents vs workflows — opinionated heuristics to avoid overengineering
- Build your first AI agent from scratch
- Create your first RAG — Learn vector DB, embeddings
- Tool calling & function schemas (OpenAI / Anthropic format)
- Agent reliability: real-world war stories from shipping AI, system prompt, timeouts, retries, evals, guardrails
- Walk away with working agent code you built during the workshop
Includes AI Socratic Certificate
Requires: Laptop · ChatGPT or Claude subscription
Local ModelsRecommended for EngineersRun AI models on your own machine (~5 hours)Run Llama, Qwen, or Mistral locally, set up a private OpenAI-compatible server, and keep all your data on your machine.
- LLMs fundamentals (transformers, encoder, decoder, QKV, memory, quantization, distillation, training, fine tuning, tradeoffs)
- Install Ollama / llama.cpp
- Run a local SLM and compare models (Llama, Qwen, Mistral)
- Performance tuning (RAM, context, speed)
- Private & offline AI — no data leaves your machine
- Model inference latency considerations
Includes AI Socratic Certificate
Requires: MacBook (Apple Silicon) or equivalent with sufficient VRAM · At least 16GB RAM recommended
Personal AgentsOpenClaw / Claude Cowork (~5 hours)Install and configure your personal OpenClaw AI agent, integrated your email and social media. Focus on security and privacy.
- OpenClaw Foundations: plan → act → observe loop, memory
- Install OpenClaw locally and integrate it with OpenAI
- Configure interfaces and tools (Telegram, email, voice, calendar, browser, etc.)
- Build real workflows (inbox, lead gen, personal assistant)
- Control & safety: permissions, limits, debugging, credentials, prompt injection, container security
- Advanced: local models, VPS deploy
Includes AI Socratic Certificate
Requires: MacBook / Mac Mini / Raspberry Pi · API key (Claude / OpenAI) or local model (Ollama)

Bring a real engineering question
For a team session, start with the workflow you want to improve, the tools you can use, and how you will judge the result. We agree the exercise, prerequisites, and instructor before confirming the session.
Technical sessions assume familiarity with your codebase and a development environment. Use a sample repository when company code cannot be shared. These are example exercises; scope and deliverables depend on the session you book.

FAQ
Common Questions
What are the prerequisites?
No coding experience required for the Fundamentals module. Advanced Operations and OpenClaw assume comfort with basic terminal commands. AI Agents is aimed at engineers. Local Models requires a MacBook with Apple Silicon and at least 16GB RAM.
Can I attend remotely?
All cohorts are in-person only. We believe hands-on, in-person learning is the most effective way to learn applied AI. If you'd like us to come to your city, use the 'Propose a city' option below the schedule.
What is the refund policy?
Full refund up to 14 days before the cohort start date. 50% refund up to 7 days before. No refunds within 7 days, but you can transfer your spot to someone else.
Do I need to bring my own laptop?
Yes. You'll need a laptop with internet access. We'll provide all software setup instructions before the workshop.
Can I buy individual modules?
You can choose modules individually. The full package discount is 20% on eligible modules; final availability and pricing are confirmed before booking.
