Real hours back every week, or we keep working with you.

Show up
Do the work
We don't stop until it works

Show up, do the work, and build alongside us. If by the end you haven't built AI systems that give you back real hours every week, we'll keep working with you until you do. We don't reach shore alone.

Before you dive in

Do I need to take Bootcamp before Getting Started?

No. Bootcamp and Getting Started with AI are alternative introductions: two intensive days or a four-week pace. You can take both, but neither requires the other.

Can my company pay for my place?

Yes. Individuals and company-sponsored learners can enroll directly. Contact us for group purchases.

Does my team need to finish Academy before Amplifier?

No. Amplifier is open to any team. It helps people learn, practice, and test AI skills together without a course prerequisite.

Not sure which one?

The first call sorts it. Tell us where you are and we'll point you at the right course, or at the free Masterclass.
