Why We Created the AI Accelerator

You've been using Claude and Cursor to write code faster. That's the baseline now. But when tech leadership asks: "Can we build an agentic system?" or "How do we implement RAG?" 

- Can you build it? 
- Can you explain when fine-tuning makes sense vs. embeddings? 
- Can you debug a hallucinating AI agent? 
 
Using AI tools and building AI systems are completely different skills. 
 
Inside the AI Accelerator Cohort, you’ll learn the AI skills companies are hiring for and build a production-ready application with weekly code reviews from a senior software engineer.
You'll Build a Production-Ready AI Application
 
Inside the cohort, you'll build and deploy a full-stack Next.js + TypeScript 
application with:
 
- RAG pipeline with vector storage (Pinecone or Qdrant)
- Multi-agent orchestration that reasons and acts
- Streaming chat interface with real-time responses
- Observability layer to monitor tokens and prompt quality
- LLM API integration (OpenAI) with error handling
 
You'll walk away with a deployed app you can demo in interviews or ship to customers.

Learn High-Paying AI Skills Companies Hire For

RAG & Vector Databases

Chunking strategies, similarity search, and retrieval that doesn't return garbage results.


Agents &  Orchestration

Design multi-agent
systems that work beyond
toy examples.

Prompt Engineering

Write structured, testable prompts that give consistent results.

Production Patterns

Streaming UIs, monitoring, testing, and cost control for applications.

Technical Communication

Explain tradeoffs (RAG vs fine-tuning, agent design decisions) so leadership buys in.

Math Intuition

Understand vectors and embeddings without getting lost in linear algebra proofs.

How the 30-Day AI Accelerator Cohort Works:

Week 1: Foundations

LLMs, embeddings, vector search. Build intuition for the math without the headache.
Week 2: RAG Systems

Scrape, chunk, embed, retrieve, respond. Submit a chunking strategy for your use case.
Week 3: Integration

Build your Next.js chat interface with streaming. Fine-tune a model. Record a video explaining RAG vs fine-tuning tradeoffs.
Week 4: Production Ready

Add observability, evals and unit tests for your agents and deploy. Submit your final project proposal.
Pre-recorded lessons, code templates, weekly mentor meetings, guest speakers, and 60-day Slack access. Become your organization's go-to person for AI integration.
 
Whether you join our 30-day cohort or self-paced program, both include the “teach back” method. Record short videos explaining concepts each week. This forces deep understanding.
