Overview

About this course

AI coding assistants have changed the game. The gap between 'idea' and 'shipped product' has never been smaller — but most people are barely scratching the surface of what these tools can do. Whether you're a founder who knows what an API is but has never built one, or an engineer leveling up your workflow — this course meets you where you are.

You'll learn to use Codex and Claude Code as true agentic pair programmers: AI that doesn't just autocomplete, but architects, debugs, and ships alongside you.

This is a 4-week hands-on course where you'll learn to build, deploy, and ship a real product using OpenAI Codex and Claude Code. You'll learn how to professionally vibe code — configuring project intelligence files (CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md), managing code with Git, building full-stack apps, and deploying to production. Each week builds on the last. By Week 4, you deploy your product live and demo it to the group.

Who this is for

  • Founders, PMs, and operators who understand concepts like APIs and databases and are ready to build
  • Technical professionals who want to go from "I've used ChatGPT" to professional agentic pair programming
  • Engineers who want to ship faster with AI-assisted development
  • Anyone with a basic understanding of how software works who wants to actually build it
