ai role route
A 2026-era curriculum for PMs and product builders who need to design, ship, and judge AI-powered products — built around the twelve-chapter AI Manual spine. Decide whether AI is the right answer, pick the smallest model that clears the bar, spec the prompt, gate on evals, design for uncertainty, and own cost, latency, and safety as first-class product constraints.

follow path →engineering route
A seven-week path for engineers, ML practitioners, and technical founders who can build the AI feature but now have to make the product call. Learn to choose the right problem, pick the smallest model that clears the bar, write the prompt like a spec, evaluate against user value, and brief leadership on cost, latency, and safety in plain English.

follow path →leadership route
A four-week path for functional leaders who now own an AI-touched surface and need to brief a board, a CEO, or a customer without slipping into either hype or paralysis. It is built for the operator who will not pick the model or write the prompt, but will absolutely own the strategic frame, the economics story, the safety posture, and the few irreversible calls underneath them.

follow path →design route
A six-week path for designers now owning AI surfaces, where deterministic interaction instincts are no longer enough. It gives you a practical vocabulary for uncertainty, a pattern library for streaming/citations/confidence/recovery, and a way to design for hallucination as a permanent product condition. Built for teams who need to ship trustworthy AI UX without waiting to become ML experts.

follow path →builder route
A six-week sprint for founders, solopreneurs, and indie hackers who need to ship a real AI feature fast, not talk about one. The path moves from customer pain to model choice, prompt spec, evals, and failure-tolerant UX so you can launch this week and learn from live users instead of demos.

follow path →customer-facing route
A six-week path for PMs and CSMs stepping into B2B roles where they own retention, expansion, and the customer relationship alongside the product.
