Custom AI models. Build bespoke AI agents and algorithms from scratch.
AI application development. Deploy full-stack AI-driven web and mobile applications.
The seven days.
On Monday you choose a problem to solve, for example telling spam from real messages or sorting images into categories. Everything you build during the week works on that problem.
- Monday1 hour
Data
Choose your problem, then collect, clean and label a small dataset for it. You see why most AI failures start with the data, not the model.
- Tuesday1 hour
Train
Train your first model on your dataset and test it on examples it has never seen, so you know how well it really works.
- Wednesday1 hour
Fine-tune
Adapt a pre-trained model to your own data and compare it with the one you trained yesterday.
- Thursday1 hour
Agents
Build an AI agent from scratch that can use tools and remember what it has done, and learn where agents go wrong.
- Friday1 hour
Full stack
Wrap your model or agent in a web or mobile app: a front end people can use and a back end that runs it.
- Saturday1½ hours
Deploy
Ship the app to production, watch how it behaves with real use and fix the first problems that appear.
- Sunday1½ hours
Demo day
Present your AI product to mentors and peers, take their questions and leave with a project you can show in applications or to investors.
What you leave with.
- A trained and fine-tuned model
- A custom AI agent
- A deployed full-stack AI app
- A portfolio for internships, jobs or a startup
