Why 2 full weeks?

Real skill is layered. Evenings and weekends mean you never hit the depth where it clicks. Full immersion is what turns "I've heard of Claude" into "I just shipped this."

You're not losing 2 weeks of work.

You build with your actual work projects here. Real problems, real deliverables. Come back in two weeks knowing how to work twice as fast — you haven't fallen behind, you've leapt ahead.

Do the math yourself

Your numbers. Your ROI.

No made-up value stack. Plug in what your time is worth and how much of your week goes to repetitive work — the math does the rest.

What matters

  • ✓

    Domain expertise

    Years in a specific industry. Your expertise is your unfair advantage.

  • ✓

    A specific problem to solve

    The more specific you are about what you want to build, the more you'll get out of it.

  • ✓

    Self-direction

    You'll ship a website, an agent, and an automated workflow in two weeks. We look for builders who can move without hand-holding.

  • ✓

    Full commitment to the schedule

    Mon-Fri, 9am-3pm for 2 weeks · afternoons for building.

FAQ

Common questions about enrolling.

No. We've had doctors, lawyers, real estate agents, and marketing directors build exceptional AI products. Domain expertise matters more than technical skills.
No — and that's intentional. AI skills compound on each other. Day 4 builds on Day 3. Space it out and you're relearning basics every week instead of pushing forward. Online AI courses have a 95% dropout rate because there's no consequence for skipping. Two weeks in a room with 14 other serious people means you show up, you build, and you leave with something real. The people who find a way to make 2 weeks work are exactly the people who get the most out of it.
Fill out the short form and pay full tuition via Stripe. Your spot is confirmed within 24 hours.
Yes. Cohorts 1–3 are open now. Cohorts 4–6 open on a rolling basis. Enroll in any open cohort — your spot is confirmed within 24 hours.
Absolutely. Austin has plenty of short-term rental options near campus. Housing details are shared after enrollment.
Full refund up to 14 days before start. 50% up to Day 1. No refund after the program begins.
