What learners say
“The evals week alone paid for the course. We caught a retrieval regression the day before a client demo.”
“Finally a course that treats agents as software, not magic. My capstone became our first production AI feature.”
“Small cohort, real code review, instructors who actually ship. Completely different from video courses.”
