Description
This workshop equips business leaders to champion AI initiatives, then deliver and deploy AI solutions, driving change across the organization with measurable commercial impact.
This is quite different from a traditional “course”!
It’s actually not a course at all: it’s a briefing. A comprehensive, action-oriented briefing on Gen AI, designed by leaders, for leaders.
We will cover:
AI expertise from a commercial perspective
Real-world use cases; with success stories and failures
Actionable toolkits to apply to your business
From Stealth Startup to Global Enterprise
We will not cover:
Technical detail; but sufficient to drive decision-making - so we do cover RAG, fine-tuning and Agents from a business point-of-view
Using different AI tools yourself; this briefing is about transforming your organization to use AI tools!
If you are an executive, an entrepreneur, a leader, or if you are on a path to become one, then this briefing will position you for commercial success with Generative AI.
What you will learn
AI strategy, AI decision-making and AI leadership
This workshop builds expertise through 3 modules:
Module 1: Become an AI Strategist

With a 4.6 instructor rating, >1.1 M reviews, and 126 courses in 12 languages, we help engineers, leaders, and teams master the skills that power today’s AI revolution - then ship real results.
We start where the real world starts: with large language models and the products they power. You’ll learn the foundations of AI and Generative AI (gen AI), then ship production-grade systems - chatbots, copilots, automations, and AI agents. We go deep on LLM engineering: retrieval (RAG), evaluation, observability, safety, and the patterns teams use to run agentic systems at scale.
Our stack is practical and current. You’ll prototype fast with Python, LangChain, and LangGraph; explore models from OpenAI, Gemini, and Claude (including Claude Code); fine-tune and serve with Hugging Face and Ollama; and take it to production on AWS - from Bedrock to event-driven services. Need automation? We wire it together with n8n, clean interfaces, and CI/CD. Along the way you’ll master prompt engineering that holds up under load.
Where this leads: roles that ship. AI Engineer and LLM Engineer for those who love building; platform and MLOps paths for those drawn to reliability at scale; product and leadership tracks for the people moving Agentic AI from slide decks to business outcomes. The through-line is the same: learn fast, build faster, measure everything, iterate.
Start with our best selling course:
AI Coder: Complete Claude Code & Coding Agents Course - build complete products at speed with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot and Codex, no coding background required.
AI Engineer Core Track: LLM Engineering, RAG, QLoRA, Agents - a hands-on path from your first prompt to production patterns: 20+ models, RAG, QLoRA fine-tuning, and agents with LangChain/LangGraph.
AI Engineer Agentic Track: The Complete Agent & MCP Course - design, orchestrate, and deploy robust AI agents across OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI, LangGraph and MCP.
AI Engineer Production Track: Deploy LLMs & Agents at Scale - scaling patterns for pipelines, monitoring, and enterprise rollout on AWS with Bedrock, Google Cloud Platform, Azure and MLOps.
AI Builder: Create Agents, Voice Agents & Automations in n8n - wire up low-code AI agents, voice agents and business automations in n8n with ElevenLabs, RAG and MCP.
Practical Guide to AI Agents & Agentic AI with Claude Cowork - build six working no-code AI agents on your real tools (Gmail, Slack, Notion, Calendar) with Claude Cowork and MCP.
AI Leader: Generative AI & Agentic AI for Leaders & Founders - a concise playbook for strategy, governance, and ROI with Generative AI and agents.
