AI is changing every software role.

Don't just learn to use AI. Learn how it actually works.

PromptName a coffee shop near a university
The model writes, one token at a time

Next token — ranked over the whole vocabulary
  • Deadline0.38
  • The0.29
  • Campus0.20
  • Grind0.13
Identical prompt. The pick is a draw, not a lookup.
✷It reads tokens, not letters
strawberry

3 tokens, not 10 letters — the r's are hidden inside the chunks, so counting is guesswork.

✷It has no memory
Turn 1 — sent to the model in full, again
systemmsg 1

Nothing is kept between turns. The app re-sends the system prompt, the whole history, and your new message — every time. Once it stops fitting, the oldest quietly falls out. That's the “it forgot.”

What changed

Almost overnight, AI became everyone's job.

AI is no longer a specialist skill — it's everyday work. Engineers review AI-generated code. QA teams have non-deterministic behaviour to test. Technical leaders decide what to adopt, and answer for it later. And the old assurances don't transfer: when the same input can produce a different output, “the test passed” stops meaning what it used to. The professionals who understand how these systems actually work make better decisions than those who only know how to use a chatbot — and become the person in the room who can explain why the AI behaved that way, whether it can be trusted, and what to do about it.

You'll finish knowing how to
  • ✓Explain how LLMs actually work — tokens, context, temperature
  • ✓Understand RAG, agents and memory well enough to question them
  • ✓Evaluate AI systems professionally, without a fixed right answer
  • ✓Build an evaluation harness and defend it in a release meeting
  • ✓Spot hallucinations, invented facts and reasoning failures
  • ✓Use AI in daily technical work — and catch its mistakes
Is this you?

Who it's for — and who it isn't

Not for
✕Prompt tricks and “1,000 best prompts” packs
✕AI hype, influencer takes and demo magic
✕No-code shortcuts that skip how it works
It's for
✓Software people who want to know how AI systems actually work
✓Teams that need to evaluate AI, not just ship it
✓Anyone tired of nodding along and wanting to genuinely understand
Software Engineers — build and review AI-powered features with confidence
QA & Test Automation — evaluate AI quality, reliability and behaviour
Technical Leads & Architects — decide what to adopt, and on what evidence
Product Managers & Analysts — who own AI features and answer for them

No coding required. Built around one question — how do you know it's working? — which turns out to be the question everyone shipping AI needs to answer.

Curriculum

From “it just works” to “here's why”

Five modules, in order — short focused lessons with hands-on browser labs, so you practise the moment you learn. Every learning module closes with a quiz: 12 random questions, three wrong allowed, unlimited retries. The final module holds the real exam and capstone.

The labs

Practise in a sandbox, not a slideshow

Every concept is followed immediately by a practical lab, right in your browser — nothing to install. You read a live AI conversation and spot what shaped it, build an evaluation harness against a real model, audit an AI-generated handover for planted flaws, and finish with a verdict you could defend in a release meeting. Understanding becomes something you've practised, not just read.

✓Run & submit — instant, deterministic feedback on every attempt.
✓AI feedback — a calibrated model reads your capstone assessment and tells you what doesn't hold up yet.
✓Resume anywhere — progress saved per lesson; pick up where you left off.

PASSHow do I get a refund?
“Refunds are available for 14 days after purchase — start one from the Orders page.”
✓ mentions: refund✓ mentions: 14✓ judge: direct, no invented facts
FAILDo you ship to Canada?
“Great question! Someone from our team will get back to you as soon as possible.”
✕ judge: deflects instead of answering
Run it again — the phrasing changes, your checks shouldn't care. That's the lesson.

The future of engineering belongs to people who understand AI systems well enough to make good engineering and product decisions.
