For companies

AI training for your whole team — it starts when you want.

Private 3-day workshops and custom programs start when you want — your tools, your workflows, working automation by the last day. Proposal within 24 hours.

The wall just came down.

For fifty years, building software meant being a developer. That wall is gone — like the Berlin Wall came down, the barrier between having an idea and shipping it just fell. If you can describe what you want, you can build it, and automate almost anything you do in a day. No CS degree. No engineering team. Your expertise and the right tools are enough now.

From Cohort 1

In their words.

Graduated July 17, 2026 · Austin, TX
The jump from simple chatting to programmatic engagement always seemed beyond my reach — but after only 10 days, MakerSquare has helped me over that mountain. Just getting over the barrier of using Claude Code through a terminal was worth the time and expense, but everything else we learned made it truly exceptional!

“I knew I was going to learn cool functionality — that’s why I came in. But I was scared it wouldn’t be as applicable to me. It definitely is. I needed the first week and a half to get the concepts — then it all consolidated into building my own agent. I’d recommend it to everyone.

We don't teach engineers.
We teach people who know their field.

Operators & business owners

Half your week is repeatable. Build the AI that does it.

Proposals, reports, follow-ups, invoicing — you already know which parts of your business should run themselves. Knowing what to automate is the hard part. Building it is now learnable.

Professionals & career builders

Domain expertise plus AI is the rarest profile in your field.

Marketing, finance, healthcare, law — every industry is short on people who understand the work and can also build with AI. That combination is the career moat.

Founders & first-time builders

Stop waiting for a technical co-founder.

If you can describe the product clearly, you can ship the first version yourself. The idea and the market knowledge were always the scarce part.

Not the right fit if…
— You're after a certificate, not working tools — You want self-paced videos, not a room full of builders — Two full weeks in Austin isn't possible right now — You'd rather study the theory than ship

The real tools pros build with.
You'll ship with them yourself.

No toy platforms. You leave fluent in the modern AI build stack — the same tools running real companies.
