This course is not for the faint of heart or the casual hobbyist in AI Engineering! Make no mistake - it is a rigorous bootcamp. But for those with the strong desire to meaningfully upskill in this area, I can't think of a better way to spend 10 weeks. The notebooks and assignments are well-curated by The Wiz, Dr. Greg is an amazing communicator who excels at communicating key concepts and Sarah is an amazing super-helpful coordinator. You will be given challenging assignments, but you will get all the guidance you need and then some! As an additional bonus, you will bask in the warmth of a tight-knit community with a unique culture...I'm envious of anyone who is just embarking on this journey!

Amazing content throughout the bootcamp. Very intense and very demanding. In the end it was really worth all the effort. There is a definite sense of accomplishment in the end.

Arthi Kasturirangan

VP AI Engineering

AI Makerspace is where theory meets traction. It’s one thing to learn GenAI—another to actually build, ship, and share real solutions that create business impact. This program helped me do exactly that. If you want to lead real-world GenAI deployments—not just talk about it—this is the program to beat.

Milani McGraw

AI Engineer
Kakumei LLC

This is an amazing course! The curriculum is extremely comprehensive and I am walking out of this course with a handful of new skills that I can use in the future! The instructors are great, and no matter what you’re supported all around whether it be by your classmates, the peer supporters, or the instructors. I highly recommend this course to anyone.

Mike Dean, Ph.D.

Professor Emeritus (I.E. Retired)
University of Utah School of Medicine

Spectacular amount of information delivered in ten weeks. Lectures are extremely well prepared, and the combined expertise of Dr. Greg and The Whiz works magically. This is NOT an easy bootcamp unless you are already an AI engineer. But resources were plentiful, and our cohort developed a camaraderie and I believe some long lasting future friendships. Highly recommended.

Vincent Kienzler, Ph.D.

Principal - Head of Technology
Persistent

This is an amazing course. It is thorough, well thought through, and covers a wide range of topics and tools with a good depth. The team does a great job at keeping the student engaged, via homeworks and projects, and is always available for further discussion. I strongly recommend.

Can Temizyurek

AI Engineer
Aithon.ai

I want to thank Dr. Greg, The Wiz, and the entire AIM team. None of my projects like PromptLab and OpenEvals would have been possible without the course and the Build, Ship, and Share mentality. Simply sharing what I’ve built on X helped the framework gain visibility from thought leaders in the Vercel AI SDK and Typescript developer communities, and opened doors for new opportunities. Taking this class has truly changed my life.

David Stampfli

Director, Enterprise AI Platform Architect
Vista Equity Partners

This is an incredible course. The content is top-notch, and everyone involved in delivering and supporting the course brings a level of expertise and enthusiasm that I have rarely seen. Be prepared to work hard, and having a development background is helpful, especially if it's with Python. Class time is 4 hours a week, with another 4 to 8 hours a week for homework. There's also a midterm and a final that are no joke. If you're serious about ramping up on the latest trends and techniques in AI engineering, this course is for you, but be prepared to work hard!

Andres Rubio Del Saz

AI Researcher

Absolutely the best course on LLMs out there right now! I learned so much going through these 7 weeks that I'm now able to go from prototype to deployment of complex RAG systems!

Robert H. Eubanks

Chief Technology & AI Officer
CoExperiences

The AI Engineer Class provided me with an exceptional learning experience that greatly enhanced my understanding of artificial intelligence and its practical applications. The course content was well-structured, engaging, and delivered by knowledgeable instructors who were passionate about the subject matter. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to gain valuable skills in the field of AI.

Angela Chapman

This is a great course! Whether you are new to LLMs, or already using them but wanting to learn more of the latest open source tools, this course is well worth your time.

Kameran Kolahi, Ph.D.

Sr. Lead, Product Data Science
Wizard AI

If you put in the work, it's unbelievable how much you can learn from ALL the invaluable material AI Makerspace provides (both in and out of class)! Even if you don't want to put in the work, it's great for just exposing yourself to what is out there on the AI engineering cutting-edge. To be completely honest, this was one of the best decisions I've made!

Keertana Chandar

AI Makerspace completely changed my relationship with both AI and online courses. Instead of just teaching me the basics of AI, this class helped me truly understand the 'behind the scenes', to the point where I feel confident using this knowledge in my job and sharing it with others. This has been the first online course where I’ve felt real growth!

Richard Gower

OOUX Strategist
Gower Solutions

I was not sure what to expect with this course especially with the cost. However, I had attended a number of the AI Makerspace weekly webinars and watched a number of their videos as part of research. Having completed the course, these guys are the real deal. It was hard. But I learned so much, gained confidence in my knowledge and abilities, and now have a solid baseline to continue learning in this rapidly changing area.

Ismael Gonzalez

Cloud Engineer
Kobie Marketing

I had to dedicate time. I had to present two projects per week. I had to present those projects like I was an expert. As projects and challenges proceeded, I started gaining more confidence. I can now explain to anyone who asks me how to build AI applications what to do. If you want to go through the 10 hardest weeks of your life, the return on investment for that will be huge.

Michael Ellis

Senior Consultant
Hylaine

Great boot camp. Alot of great information is packaged up and presented clearly. You will feel like you are drinking from a fire hose. Great community on discord. Only recommend this class if you are in a technical role as it is intense.

Raghu Challapilla

Product Manager
Bank of America

I recommend AI Makerspace’s AI Engineering Bootcamp because it forces you to build under real constraints and stay current as the field moves. They set a high bar for entry and an even higher bar for graduation, with an explicit expectation that you code daily and build two production-grade RAG, agent, or multi-agent apps each week. What really earns my endorsement is how fast they update the material. Cohort content gets refreshed with new protocols and practices like MCP and Google’s A2A, there is a dedicated Guardrails session, and their twice weekly live hands-on sessions are designed to cover the latest concepts so you are learning what just landed, not last quarter’s patterns. In my cohort that translated into building RAG and agentic systems with LangChain and LangGraph, evaluating with RAGAS, storing vectors in Qdrant, running a FastAPI backend, deploying to Vercel or Railway, and tracing in LangSmith, all while adopting new pieces as they emerged. If you want a program that demands consistent building & shipping, teaches what is current, and builds the habits needed for production AI, this is it.

Came in not knowing the stuff. Leave actually knowing the stuff. What more could you want?

Peter Dudka

Founder & CEO
Dual Logic

Hands down one of the best AI programs out there and truly one of the few that shows you how to *actually build* an AI-native product (i.e. not just string together a prototype using some prompt engineering and some off the shelf saas tools). Vibes for the live sessions are also fantastic!

Germee Ronirose

Founder & CEO
Roni AI

Loved the course! It was hard and challenging, but it gave me clarity on what I need to do next. The support from the community is amazing, and what makes this course different from the rest. The team does their best to make sure every student is successful.

Cheselle Jan Roldan

Strategy & Intelligence Consultant

I come from a non-technical background, so calling this course rigorous is an understatement. But after 10 weeks, I’ve gained a solid grasp of AI engineering skills and their underlying theories. I’ve also built at least 18 functional and useful AI apps (I lost count by Week 7). The founders structured the bootcamp so that anyone determined enough can keep up while actively gaining new skills.

Sahar Nesaei, Ph.D.

Audit Manager
JP Morgan Chase

You'll find a supportive network of individuals dedicated to building, innovating, and sharing groundbreaking work. I started with sporadic knowledge of LLM, AI, and perhaps a little about RAG and Finetuning, but I ended up creating MentalMindBot!
