Two paths
Pick the path that fits where you are. Both end with shipped work, not just slides.
A 12-week intensive that takes you from where you are now to a real AI role. Four-week bootcamp in AI Engineering or AI Product Management. Eight-week paid internship at a real AI startup in London or San Francisco. 1:1 coaching, references, and a 100% placement guarantee.
Best for career changers, working professionals, and graduates who want their first or next role to be in AI.
Practical AI programs for your engineering, product, and GTM teams. Built around your actual tools and workflows. Live cohort sessions, private LMS, progress tracking, and certificates. Outcomes in eight weeks, not eight months.
Best for companies that need their teams to actually use AI, not just talk about it.
Our approach
Most AI training is theory. Slides, recorded videos, toy exercises. People finish, feel temporarily smart, and ship nothing.
We do the opposite. Every program ends with people having shipped real work — with real users, on real systems, in real companies. That is the only thing that changes outcomes, whether you are trying to land a role or transform a team.
Every learner ships something with users. No toy datasets, no canned notebooks — features that go into production.
Accelerator interns work at funded AI startups. Enterprise programs use your actual tools, codebases, and workflows.
Placement rates for individuals. Productivity lift and projects-shipped count for teams. We publish the numbers.

Outcomes
Career outcomes for individuals. Team outcomes for enterprise. Both with names attached.
Individuals placed in AI roles
This course completely changed how I approach product launches. Manu built a genuinely practical, no-fluff GTM playbook that covers everything from ICP definition and positioning to launch sequencing and cross-functional alignment, all with AI-assisted execution. In just 2 live sessions, I walked away with a reusable GTM Playbook, launch templates, a strategy canvas, and the AI prompts to run future launches faster. What I loved most is that the skills are immediately applicable — I used what I learned before the course even ended.

Aki gave me the opportunity to learn exactly what I wanted, on my own terms. The course was structured around real projects, which meant I was building the actual skills I came for, not just watching and hoping something stuck. The teacher/student dynamic was genuinely collaborative; Aki met me where I was and pushed me toward where I wanted to go. I walked away with hands-on experience, sharper abilities, and the confidence that comes from having actually done the work. If you want a course where your goals shape the learning, this is it.

Teams shipping with AI
Case study · 8-week engagement
We trained 40 engineers over 8 weeks. By week 6, the team had shipped a production RAG system on our internal docs. AI tooling went from a side project to part of how the team works.
