If you're ready to actually understand AI, you're in the right place

We built this for professionals, owners, and executives, especially folks 35 to 60, across Pasadena and Southern California. You don't need to be technical. You just need to be curious.

For professionals, owners & executives

People who thrive in the room

You want to lead confidently in an AI world, understand what your team is talking about, and find real wins for your organization.
The professional leveling up
You're great at what you do and you want AI to make you faster, sharper, and more valuable, starting now.

You've had an idea for an app or tool for years. You're done waiting on someone else to build it. This is where you start.

Pick the path that fits where you are

You'll choose at the end of Day 1, and lean whichever way feels right as you go.

Track 1 · Start from scratch

Zero Experience

You've never really used AI, or you've poked at ChatGPT and want to actually get it. Two days from "what is this?" to confident, daily AI user.

This is you if

  • You've never used AI tools in your work (or barely have)
  • You keep hearing "AI" everywhere and don't want to be left behind
  • You're a professional, owner, or executive aged 35 to 60 who wants a clear, jargon-free on-ramp
  • You learn best hands-on, in a room, with someone who'll answer your questions

You’ll leave with

  • Set up and confidently use modern AI assistants (Claude, ChatGPT)
  • Write prompts that get real, usable results, not generic fluff
  • Understand AI agents, what they do, and where they help your work
  • Build at least one practical AI workflow you'll use the next Monday
  • Know exactly what's hype and what's genuinely useful for you

Track 2 · Zero to one

I Have an Idea

You have a company, product, or workflow you want to build. Tell us the idea, and we set up your tools and get you from zero to one, building for real.

This is you if

  • You have an idea for an app, product, internal tool, or automation
  • You want to stop waiting on a developer and start building it yourself
  • You're curious about "vibe coding" and want a guided, hands-on start
  • You want a working starting point and the skills to keep going

You’ll leave with

  • Cursor + Claude installed and configured on your own machine
  • Learn vibe coding: building software by describing what you want
  • Go from idea to working prototype during the two days
  • Set up custom AI workflows and agents tailored to your idea
  • Leave with a project you can keep building and a path forward
