The idea

Watching isn't the proof. The work is.

Training a billion people to work AI-native starts small: a room, a live session, and something you shipped this week. Every week there are new videos on the tools that keep changing, and a city of people to build them with.

The community

One city. Twelve rooms. 104 people who ship.

Free to join. Free to read. Post in any room. The city rooms meet in person; the rest meet every week on the platform.

Kavi AI General today

Shipped my first MCP server against our internal wiki this morning. Claude Code now answers onboarding questions from it. Write-up in the thread.

Carolyn AI Careers today

Mock interview with Aki yesterday. The systems design round on evals was harder than the real one I had last week. Worth it.

Nate AI London yesterday

Thursday build night is on. Bring the agent you're stuck on, we'll run it live on the projector and fix it together.

For your team

We train inside your operation.

Not a course library. A forward-deployed team that runs live cohorts on your stack, your data and your roles, then leaves working systems behind. Twelve weeks, scoped on a call, run inside the same platform the community lives in.

Why teams buy

Six things a workshop never fixed.

01

A few enthusiasts race ahead while everyone else stalls

02

Generic libraries don't change how the work actually gets done

03

Course completion isn't the same thing as capability

04

Managers can't see who's genuinely up to speed

05

Momentum dies a month after the workshop

06

AI moves too fast for an annual training cycle
