In 4 weeks, go from AI-curious to deploying your own project
A live cohort program where you learn by doing. No theory dumps — you install the tools, build the systems, and walk away with skills that compound.
Next cohort expected: Q2 2026
Join the WaitlistSound familiar?
- You're spending your evenings updating your website instead of doing the work you actually love
- You know you should be using AI but every tutorial assumes you're already a developer
- You've tried ChatGPT for writing but never got it to actually build or automate anything
- You have ideas for tools and projects but the technical barrier keeps stopping you
This cohort bridges that gap — from curious to capable.
Who is this for
- You want to bring AI into your daily workflows but don't know where to start
- You're a founder or freelancer who wants to build with agentic tools
- You're a consultant who wants to offer AI-powered services to clients
- You're simply curious about building with AI — no coding experience required
What you'll learn
A structured 4-week journey from setup to a deployed project.
Setup & First Steps
Install Claude Code (and/or Codex), run your first commands, and get comfortable with AI-assisted workflows. By the end of the week, your tools are ready and you've built your first thing.
How AI Thinks & Where It Fits
What agents are, what patterns exist, and when to use AI vs. not. Simple infrastructure concepts — servers, databases, frontend, backend — so you understand what you're building on. The mindset shift that makes everything click.
Build Your Project
With AI assistance, build something real — a website, a tool, an automation. Not theory, not a demo. Your project, your idea, shipped with the tools you learned in week 1 and the thinking from week 2.
Deploy & Share
Get your project live and accessible. Share it with the cohort, get feedback, and understand what's possible next — including agentic systems in future cohorts.
This is what you'll be able to do
By week 4, you'll be deploying projects like this.
What you'll have at the end
Tangible outcomes — not just knowledge.
- A real project you built and deployed yourself — with AI
- Practical skills to keep building after the cohort ends
- Understanding of how software infrastructure works (servers, databases, frontend/backend)
- A network of peers on the same AI journey
- Confidence to evaluate and adopt new AI tools independently
- A clear path to the advanced Agentic Systems cohort

Your instructor
Tom Mekenkamp
15+ years in leadership and transformation at AB-InBev, Royal BAM, and Dura Vermeer. Now I build products with agentic AI and teach others to do the same. Every tool and technique in this cohort is something I use in production — not theory.
