Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the program
What will I have built by the end?
You'll ship a complete SAAS with RAG integration, an AI agent, and Stripe payments. This is your own project that you choose, not a tutorial. Plus you'll have mastered Claude Code, MCP, and N8N automation.
Will this help me get hired?
The numbers speak for themselves: 70% of AI jobs are unfilled, and AI builders earn a 60% salary premium. You'll leave with a deployed SAAS and Claude Code mastery, skills companies are desperately seeking.
What makes this different from Coursera/Udemy?
Three things: (1) Live sessions over 6 months, not rushed videos. (2) You build YOUR own SAAS, not follow tutorials. (3) You ship with real payments via Stripe. Plus we focus on Claude Code & MCP, not outdated Python/LangChain.
Do I need prior AI or machine learning experience?
No prior AI experience required. You need to know how to code (any language). No ML or math background needed. We start from foundations and build up.
What's the time commitment?
24 one-hour live sessions over 6 months (1 session/week). Plus 30-40 hours of personal work on your SAAS project. Sessions are recorded if you miss one, but live interaction is where the magic happens.
How does the certification work?
Complete all 24 sessions and present your SAAS on Demo Day. You need: (1) Deployed SAAS, (2) RAG feature, (3) Agent feature, (4) Stripe payments working. Then you receive your AI Builder certification.
What's the tech stack?
Claude Code, Codex and MCP for development, OpenRouter to reach every model (Claude, GPT, Grok, Gemini, Kimi, DeepSeek), N8N for automation, Pinecone/Chroma for RAG, Stripe for payments, Vercel/Railway for deployment. A modern, production-ready stack.
