Lessons and guided labs online, at your own pace. Check-in calls on Zoom with our engineers, who answer your questions and help you build. Demo Day every week, in person in San Francisco or on Zoom from anywhere, free for every student and graduate.
You finish with working AI systems to run in your own work, or to sell as an agency.
Learn online. Come for the community.
Most programs start a few times a year. If the date clashes with a trip, a deadline or a shift, you wait for the next one and the plan goes cold. Here, you can start any Monday, with all six modules available from day one. Work through the lessons when it suits you, then bring your project to a check-in call.
The course is the same for everyone. Your track sets how many weeks you spread it over, and how many weeks our engineers are on call for you. The course is 14.2 h of video and 14.5 h of hands-on labs.
| Measure | Career track | Builder track |

Every track ends the same way. You start a capstone project on day 1: what you can automate for yourself, your company or your clients. You leave with an AI agency portfolio: tuned AI agents and web assets you can demo to clients or in interviews. What you choose is the track that fits your time and your goal. On every track, check-in calls with our engineers on Zoom, Monday to Wednesday evenings, answer your questions and keep you building. Demo Days are free, always, even after you graduate.
If you start on a Monday. About 1.8 h on a study evening. In the hub, your plan moves with what you finish.
Before each check-in call: watch that day’s videos and finish the lab first. The calls are for your questions and your build, not a replay of the lesson. Recordings of every call are in the hub.

Founders, engineers, and career-changers who came through our San Francisco AI Automation Bootcamp — building secure assistants, live voice agents, and real automations they took home.
I went from “I know I need to do something about AI” to having working tools actually deployed — in days.
