No coding background. No engineering degree. No prior experience building anything with AI beyond using ChatGPT to write emails. Just a clear idea of something he wanted to build — and the willingness to show up for 11 evenings and figure it out. Here's what he shipped. The project: An AI content agent that generates strategic playbooks for first-time entrepreneurs. Not a demo someone else built that he watched. A functional, deployed AI agent — his — that takes a founder's context and produces a structured go-to-market playbook tailored to their situation. The first playbook the agent generated targets AI-native founders navigating their go-to-market strategy. The stack: His own personal design system pulled from GitHub. Cloud development environment. Built entirely using Claude Code and vibe coding — describing what he wanted in plain English and letting AI handle the syntax, the structure, and the execution. Zero lines of code written manually. Everything deployed and running in production. His words when he finished: "I feel like I've become a technical person." The ability to go from idea to deployed output — using the tools available right now — in an evening. Pedro has that ability. He didn't have it before the bootcamp. He has it now. The right curriculum — taught by practitioners who build with these tools in production, not academics who describe them. The right format — evenings, so your whole day stays intact and the only thing you're giving up is the hours that weren't building anything anyway. The right community — people at different stages, different backgrounds, all working on hard problems together and sharing what they find. The question for those who haven't joined a cohort yet — what's the idea you've been sitting on? The tool, the agent, the automation you keep thinking about but haven't built yet? Drop it below. 👇 Someone in this community has probably already built something close to it — and can tell you exactly how long it took and what it cost.

The shift that Sasha described — and that we hear from almost every founder who comes through — isn't just about the tools. It's about the relationship with the technology. Before: AI is something happening to the industry. A vague obligation sitting on the to-do list with no clear first step. After: AI is something you understand well enough to direct. To build with. To deploy for specific purposes. To protect against when necessary. That shift — from passive observer to active builder — is what the program is designed to create. And based on what Sasha and every other cohort member has shared, it happens faster than almost anyone expects going in. For everyone in this community who recognizes that feeling Sasha described "I know I need to do something about AI." That is not a vague anxiety. That is a accurate read of the moment we are in. The founders who close that gap in the next 12 months will have an operational and competitive advantage that compounds continuously. The ones who keep waiting for the right time will find the gap harder to close, not easier. The program runs evenings only — 6 to 9 PM, Monday through Thursday So your entire workday stays untouched. Three weeks. Eleven sessions. Everything deployed. Non-technical background is not a barrier. Sasha is the proof. 📅 July 6–24 · Mon–Thu · 6:00–9:00 PM PDT 📍 In-person SF Mission + Zoom worldwide Wherever we are in the program — you're welcome to join from that point forward.

💬 "I finally understand how AI actually thinks." 💬 "The human brain connection made everything click." 💬 "I didn't expect to feel this inspired on Day 1." 💬 "The community is unlike anything I've been part of. 💬 "I came in without a technical background. I left feeling like I belong here." Our students left the room inspired, challenged, belonging. And that's the best feedback! We start AI Bootcamp with foundations. The history of AI. The mechanics of how it processes information. The connection between neural networks and how the human brain actually works. By the end of the first evening students who arrived uncertain are having conversations about LLMs, embeddings, and agents they couldn't have had that morning. Founders next to teachers. Cybersecurity pros next to career-switchers. All at different starting points. All working toward the same thing. Become a part of AISA Community ---- next cohort starts July 6th. No technical background needed. Just curiosity and the drive to show up. Registration link in the community resources tab. Questions? Drop them below — we'll answer everything openly.

AI avatars are moving faster than most people are tracking. We're already past "obviously synthetic." We're heading toward real-time interactive avatars that can hold live conversations with customers. After that — persistent digital identity. A version of you that carries your knowledge and communication style and can represent you at a scale you physically can't. That's not science fiction. That's a product roadmap. Some questions for the community: → Have you experimented with HeyGen, Happyverse, or any other avatar tool? What was your experience? → If you have clients — have any of them asked about AI video or avatar creation yet? What's the hesitation or the interest? → Where do you think the line is between useful digital representation and something that creates problems — ethically, legally, practically? → For those of you building agencies — are you including AI video in your service offer? If not, what's holding you back? We're going to be running a dedicated avatar and AI video session in the next Evening Lab cohort — if this is something you want to go deeper on, drop a comment below and we'll make sure to cover the questions this community is actually asking. And if you haven't been to a session yet — this one is worth showing up for in person. Seeing your own avatar on a projector screen in a room full of people building alongside you is a genuinely different experience from watching a tutorial alone. 🔗 Link in the community resources tab to grab a seat What's your take on where AI avatars are headed?
