Why build with an AI coding agent
Describe it, don’t code it.
You say what the tool should do in plain language. Your coding agent writes it, runs it and fixes it.
It works with what you already use.
Connect it to your files, your data and the apps your business runs on.
It compounds.
The more context you give it about your work, the better everything it builds for you gets.
What you walk away with
Set it up for your work
Set up your coding agent with your context, files and connections. Map everything it could build for you.
Learn to build the tools you actually need
Internal tools, dashboards, client portals, small apps: what each one is good for, and which one fits the problem in front of you.
Ship your first app or tool
A working tool from your own job, live on the web and still yours when the five weeks end. Plus enough practice to build the second one without us.

Questions
Plan for about 3–4 hours a week: the live session and office hours, plus an hour or two building your own tool.
Every session is recorded. Watch the recording, then bring your questions to that week’s office hours.
None. You can start without ever having built software.
Yes. The cohort pass includes 3 months of Membership, with the whole self-paced library.
Yes: a paid plan for the tool you pick. Claude Code needs a paid Claude plan, Codex needs a paid ChatGPT plan, and Cursor has its own plans. Bring your own files and data to build with.
Often, yes. Many companies have a training or learning budget that covers this. You get a receipt when you pay, which you can hand in to get reimbursed.
No. The annual Membership includes the cohort. On any other plan, members pay $297 for the cohort pass instead of $597, and the member price is applied automatically at checkout.
Yes. A full refund any time before the kickoff session. After kickoff there’s no refund, but you can move to the next cohort.
Yes. Companies get Otaku for Teams, which covers everyone all year, or one of the four Programs, scoped on a call to what the company is trying to accomplish.
