Program Overview

You learn by building, not memorizing. In 22 weeks, you'll complete 55+ hands-on projects, working through two tracks: Core AI and Agents, and Infrastructure for AI, closing with a capstone that integrates everything into a fully transformed, deployed AI-native company. One continuous build, start to finish.

Core AI and Agents

Personal Assistants with OpenClaw

  • Configure an open-source AI agent as a personal assistant
  • Assign tasks and integrate external applications with the agent

Projects:

Deploy and configure a self-hosted AI assistant — yours, under your control, without relying on external vendors.

Core AI and Agents

Advanced Personal Assistants with OpenClaw

  • Identify scenarios where an agent solves real business problems
  • Develop custom skills for OpenClaw
  • Implement contextual memory (episodic, semantic, procedural)
  • Advanced configuration and extension of the agent

Projects:

Take your basic assistant agent to a productive tool with real autonomy in business contexts.

Core AI and Agents

Working with AI Coding Agents

  • Build memory banks and context rules from an existing codebase
  • Write executable specifications for agents (agent specs)
  • Synthesize reusable skills so agents act with precision

Projects:

Build memory banks and context rules that turn a coding agent into a collaborator that understands your codebase.

Core AI and Agents

LLMs, Training & RAG

  • Prepare data and select models for training
  • Implement RAG techniques on proprietary knowledge bases
  • Work with vector databases
  • Evaluate, debug, and integrate models in production

Projects:

Implement RAG so your agent answers with proprietary, up-to-date knowledge.

Core AI and Agents

Agentic Engineering

  • Build agents with tool calling (real function calls)
  • Implement guardrails as a security and control mechanism
  • Provide tools to the agent via CLIs optimized for AI
  • Extend agent capabilities with the Model Context Protocol (MCP)

Projects:

Build agents that call tools, access external systems via MCPs and CLIs, and operate with persistent memory.

Core AI and Agents

Agentic Workflows

  • Design multi-agent systems with routing and arbitration
  • Implement shared memory across agents
  • Deploy agentic workflows with serverless and durable functions

Projects:

Design systems where multiple agents collaborate, distribute tasks, and run autonomously at scale.

Infrastructure for AI

Backend Development with Coding Agents

  • Design backend architectures for AI-powered solutions
  • Create agent loops integrating LLMs with APIs
  • Implement lightweight storage and CSV data processing
  • Build and expose REST APIs for frontends and agents

Projects:

Build robust APIs with FastAPI, implement agent loops in Python, and design backend architectures for AI use cases.

Infrastructure for AI

Workflow Automations

  • Model business logic with workflow diagrams
  • Implement basic and advanced flows in n8n
  • Integrate LLMs and external apps in automations
  • Deploy maintainable workflows with error handling

Projects:

Build AI-powered business automations in n8n that run autonomously without manual intervention.

Infrastructure for AI

Data Pipelines

  • Manipulate and prepare datasets with Python
  • Build data pipelines from the application to analysis systems

Projects:

Build pipelines that take raw data, transform it, and leave it ready to feed models, reports, or agents.

Infrastructure for AI

Telemetry

  • Optimize storage for reporting and data integrity
  • Identify data collection opportunities in real scenarios
  • Collect telemetry and user context from the application
  • Build reports from telemetry data

Projects:

Instrument applications to collect behavioral data and make decisions based on real evidence.

Infrastructure for AI

Asynchronous Processing and Offloading

  • Implement background processing for costly tasks
  • Manage process queues with workers
  • Use queues to delegate work between agents and services

Projects:

Implement background processing and queue systems that let agents delegate heavy work without blocking users.

Infrastructure for AI

Real-Time

  • Build support chats with LLMs in real time
  • Implement response streaming with generators (yield)
  • Integrate webhooks and pub/sub in AI applications

Projects:

Implement real-time communication between users and language models using streaming, WebSockets, and event-driven architectures.

Infrastructure for AI

Web Application Authentication

  • Implement authentication and route restrictions in FastAPI
  • Build complete authentication flows (login, tokens, sessions)

Projects:

Implement secure authentication in FastAPI and build complete login flows that define what each user — and agent — can do.

Infrastructure for AI

Error Handling, Debugging and Testing

  • Understand and manage runtime errors with flow control
  • Develop test suites for robust applications

Projects:

Verify AI-generated code with controlled error handling and test suites that validate expected behavior.

Infrastructure for AI

Cybersecurity in AI Applications

  • Identify and fix OWASP Top 10 vulnerabilities in web applications
  • Implement security practices specific to AI integrations
  • Use LLMs as a cybersecurity auditing tool

Projects:

Identify critical vulnerabilities in AI applications and implement safe practices in model integration.

  • Agent-generated automated workflows
  • RAG knowledge layer
  • Agents with tool calling
  • Real-time communication
