The philosophy

Understand agents under the hood — not behind a black box.

This cohort is for developers who want to know how AI agents actually work. No heavy frameworks. No abstraction layers that hide the hard parts. By the end, you will ship a locally running, fully functional AI support agent using core Python and the OpenAI API.

You will learn to build real systems, the way senior engineers build them.

  • No copy-pasted tutorials
  • No framework lock-in
  • Enterprise-grade data handling and security

What you will build

An autonomous support agent — end to end.

One capstone system. Built week by week. Running on your machine.

01

Natural language

Process real user queries and map them to intent and actions.

02

Typed business data

Read, validate, and manipulate real-world data with strict type safety.

03

Custom Python tools

Execute actions like checking status or cancelling orders through tools you build yourself.

04

State, errors & UI

Manage state, handle failures gracefully, and ship streaming responses with visual execution indicators.

8-week engineering curriculum

From first script to shipped agent.

Every week ends with a tangible deliverable — not slides.

  1. Week 01

    Python for AI & Data Validation

    Master the functional patterns and structured data handling required for AI.

    Deliverable: A script that parses complex JSON into strictly typed, error-resistant objects.

  2. Week 02

    The Mental Model & OpenAI API

    Understand context windows, API mechanics, and how to force the LLM to output guaranteed structured formats.

    Deliverable: Your first local LLM script that outputs reliable, structured data.

  3. Week 03

    Production Prompt Engineering

    Stop hoping for good outputs. Learn chain-of-thought, context injection, and handling unexpected user inputs.

    Deliverable: A script that accurately answers complex queries using your local data.

  4. Week 04

    Agent Architecture (Vanilla Python)

    Demystify the agent loop. Define capabilities, detect intent, and route tasks.

    Deliverable: Command-line tool-calling logic for an internal lookup function.

  5. Week 05

    Building the Core Agent

    Connect the LLM to local execution. Manage multi-turn conversations, business logic, and policy constraints.

    Deliverable: A functional agent that checks status and executes real actions.

  6. Week 06

    Integration & Edge Cases

    Handle rate limits, timeouts, and what to do when the LLM hallucinates an action or refuses a task.

    Deliverable: A stabilized agent that survives chaotic inputs without crashing.

  7. Week 07

    Enterprise AI Security

    Sanitize data flows and secure tool executions against prompt injection and adversarial inputs.

    Deliverable: A hardened agent with strict input validation.

  8. Week 08

    Ship It: The Interactive UI

    Move from the command line to a polished interface with streaming text and visual status indicators.

    Deliverable: A complete, locally running AI agent with a professional UI.

How the cohort works

Live builds. Real feedback. Strict deliverables.

Weekly Live Build

Two hours of live coding, architecture discussion, and real problem-solving. No pre-recorded lectures.

Mid-Week Code Teardowns

Submit weekly. Get asynchronous, personalized feedback on architecture and blockers.

Peer Pods

Grouped with engineers at your level for accountability, shared debugging, and momentum.

Strict Deliverables

Every session ends with a tangible, specific build commitment.

The founding batch promise

First cohort. High touch. Risk-free.

You are helping shape the future of this program — and you get the closest seat to the instructor while you do it.

  • Direct access High-touch mentorship with Kaushal throughout the week.
  • Curriculum influence Your feedback dictates live debugging sessions.
  • Risk-free Full refund after the first two sessions if the cohort does not meet your engineering standards.
