AI has changed how products get built. Tools like Claude Code are reshaping the product development life cycle in ways most of us are still catching up with.You probably have ideas. You see what these tools can do. But turning an idea into something real, a working product that runs, deploys, and can actually be used, can still feel overwhelming.The most exciting shift is that anyone today can go from idea to PRD to working prototype in minutes. That's a massive change in how products come to life.This course exists to help you take advantage of that shift.Instead of spending weeks watching videos, you'll build alongside us. You'll take an idea, turn it into a PRD, generate an MVP, orchestrate AI agents, and deploy real-world use case products.You won't just learn how to use Claude Code. You'll use it to build real products.🎯 Week 1: Turn idea to PRD into an MVP🎯 Week 2: Build your own marketing agency using sub-agents, and multi-agent orchestration🎯 Week 3: Evaluations 🎯 Week 4: Demo Day!By the end, you'll know how to go from idea to requirements to prototype to deployable product using AI-native workflows, and you'll leave with multiple working products you built yourself. 🚀

The agentic era rewards builders. Become one.You've mastered Claude for one-off prompts. The people pulling away aren't prompting harder — they're building AI systems that run without them. Your best workflows stay trapped in your head. Ideas wait on engineering. You can see where AI belongs, but not which workflows really fit or how to wire it all together. And you can't lead AI without hands-on credibility.In 5 weeks using the Claude Platform — Chat, Cowork, Code — you'll:✅ Operate your business from a unified AI command center✅ Delegate recurring work to custom skills, agents, and plugins you build yourself✅ Classify any workflow by autonomy and oversight to design the right AI✅ Turn any painful workflow into a working AI system with a methodical 7-step approach✅ Build with the right pattern for each job — a prompt, a skill, or a full agent✅ Ship a working web app prototype to a live URLThis isn't tips and tricks — it's a systematic method, honed training 5,000+ leaders at UC Berkeley and a decade leading at Microsoft. Small cohorts, 1:1 coaching, lifetime access. We build together, not lecture. Cohort 1 rated 4.8/5.

Most people never get real value out of AI

Your workspace. My full focus.

Bojan Gasparovic

Hands-on VP of Product helping non-techies use AI

Most people use AI as a smart assistant, ask it to rephrase something or draft an email.That works but nothing compounds.What you actually want is AI that knows who you are, what you're building and how you think.At work I gather everything from Slack, Jira, Confluence, Google Docs.. into one organized context library. Then I can ask questions on anything, prepare slides, quarterly reports, stakeholder updates.. in minutes.I can even run queries on Athena or call internal APIs with Python scripts. you can go as deep as you needBecause everything is in one place, things that took hours or every days now take minutes. I even automated most of my recurring tasksAt home I built my own website, I write my LinkedIn posts and run my Maven courses from the same workspace. One prompt updates all 3 when I work on something new ;)Join my Lightning Lessons on Fridays to see it in actionIn 2 hours I'll walk you through my own workspace live: a structured knowledge base, 30+ custom agents, 40+ skills, 100+ design systemsYou leave with a working foundation and a clear picture of how to keep building itMost people see visible gains immediately. The compounding kicks in under two weeks.

Occasional Claude user in. Daily Claude user out.

Leave with a fully working Claude Code workspace

How to build a knowledge base that makes Claude know more about you over time

Get 30+ specialist agents and know exactly when and how to use each one

Get 40+ pre-built skills for everyday tasks, no prompt writing needed

You leave knowing how to grow the workspace, not just how to use what's there

Claude Code runs in the terminal, have it installed before the session. Setup instruction details provided when you enroll

Claude Code CLI installed

Either works. Have it installed and ready before the session.

A code editor: VS Code or Cursor

Claude Code requires an active Claude Pro or higher subscription. Make sure yours is active before the session.

A paid Claude subscription

Non-technical or technical people who want to get started with Claude Code the right way

People already using Claude but not getting consistent value out of it

Anyone who wants a proven setup rather than spending weeks building something that half-works

Go from staring at a blank folder to a Claude Code AI system that you actually use in your life or business, in 6 weeks.

AI Systems Builder at GenAI Unpugged

Dheeraj Sharma

Founder, GenAI Unplugged. Ships AI systems. Claude Code, n8n, agentic workflows.

Founding Batch

You watched the YouTube tutorial. You installed Claude Code. You opened a terminal and stared at a blank folder. The bar for what anyone can build alone is rising fast. The gap between people who use AI tools and people who build AI systems widens every month. Most Claude Code attempts die in 20 minutes. Not because the tool is hard, but because nobody showed you what is possible before asking you to build.Tutorials &amp; self-paced courses don't get you there. You need an instructor watching as you build, and other builders alongside you so you don't disappear after Week 2.In 6 weeks, you build a Claude Code system that runs your business: ✅ turns your inputs into your outputs in your voice; ✅ connects to your real tools (Gmail, Notion, Google Drive, Calendar, Obsidian, Tavily) through 3-5 MCP servers; ✅ automates multi-agent pipelines through a live Hot Seat Build; ✅ reaches you on your phone; runs on a schedule without you. Taught live by Dheeraj Sharma, Founder of GenAI Unplugged, 9 AI products shipped, 75+ articles on building AI systems for solopreneurs.Session 1 Guarantee: Leave with clarity and confidence that this cohort is right for you. Else full refund. No questions.

Stop staring at the blank folder. Build a Claude Code AI system that ships.

01. Pick the right problem to automate with Claude Code 

02. Install Claude Code and ship your first working system

03. Build a knowledge layer that makes outputs sound like you

04. Wire your system into your real tools with MCP

05. Build multi-agent pipelines through a live Hot Seat Build

06. Run your first scheduled agent and ship your capstone

You will be typing in a terminal during live sessions. A real keyboard and full OS are required.

A laptop for each live session (Mac, Windows, or Linux. No tablet-only setups)

Claude Code runs on your Claude account. Free tier will hit limits during the live builds. Pro is the minimum.

An active Claude Pro subscription ($20/month) or Claude Max
