The AI skills companies are desperate to hire for, taught live by the people building them.

The AI Builder Fellowship

Master frontier AI skills and become an AI-native builder & operator.

One membership. Every live certification we run, taught in live cohorts by practitioners shipping at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. You don't finish with a certificate. You finish having shipped a real AI product.

The problem

Most people are trying to learn AI in fragments.

The Fellowship replaces all of it with the complete AI-native skill stack in one place: build AI products, ship them enterprise-ready, design AI strategy, lead AI transformation, and run agentic systems in production. No more guessing what to learn next.

  • A prompt course here.
  • A strategy webinar there.
  • A random agent tutorial.
  • A saved LinkedIn thread.
  • A half-finished prototype.

How it works

A structured path from AI overwhelm to AI confidence.

Small live cohorts, a hands-on curriculum, and faculty who ship at the frontier. Not a recording, not a content library.

The path

From core product judgment to agents in production.

The Fellowship is sequenced. Each certification builds on the last, and you retake any of them as AI evolves.

FirstCore product judgmentThenBuild AI productsThenShip them enterprise-readyThenDesign AI strategyThenLead AI transformationThenRun agentic systems in production
Capstones

You don't get certified for watching. You get certified for shipping.

Flagship certifications end in a capstone: a working AI product, a demo video, and an AI PRD, reviewed with your instructors. Past capstones are public.

Agentic Engineering capstones must survive a 72-hour unattended production run, with an incident log.

What Fellows ship, in their words.

★★★★★

"Hands-on from day one. I built a real agentic AI product end to end, not just slides. The feedback was honest and sharp, and I came out thinking differently about how to build with AI. Highly recommend for any PM."

FAQ

Questions, answered straight.

Who is the Fellowship for? Is it right for me?

The Fellowship is for anyone who wants to become an AI-native builder, operator, or leader. No experience necessary. You do not need to be technical. Our Fellows include product managers, engineers, designers, marketers, founders, consultants, customer support professionals, and executives. If you can describe a problem worth solving, we teach the rest, live.

It's right for you if you want to build real AI products, master agents and evals, use AI deeply in your work, lead AI initiatives, or transition into an AI-focused role.

Do I need to be a product manager or engineer?

No. The Fellowship is designed for professionals across product, engineering, design, marketing, operations, customer success, consulting, and leadership.

You don't need to be an expert coder — but you should be willing to experiment, build, and become more technically fluent (we teach it all).

What outcome can I expect?

You'll learn how to identify valuable AI opportunities, prototype solutions, build agents, design evals, make model, cost, and latency tradeoffs, ship enterprise-ready AI products, and lead AI strategy.

Most importantly, you'll apply these skills through hands-on projects. You'll leave with working products, strategic artifacts, and portfolio proof — not just course notes.

What will I actually build?

Once you join and complete the Fellowship cohorts, you'll build:

  • A working AI or multi-agent product
  • A rigorous AI evaluation system using frontier-level practices
  • A Claude-powered operating system for your daily work
  • An AI strategy and defensible moat blueprint
  • A production agent fleet with guardrails and human escalation

Every cohort is backed by a hands-on capstone because we certify you for shipping — not watching.

Can't I just learn this from free YouTube videos?

YouTube is great for discovering tools and learning the basics. But most videos provide surface-level, fragmented knowledge that quickly becomes outdated.

The Fellowship gives you structured, frontier-level knowledge taught live by practitioners building AI at OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and other leading companies. You learn the advanced systems, tradeoffs, and practices that only a small number of people currently understand — and apply them through hands-on capstones.

How is this different from an online course library?

This is not a collection of stale recordings.

You join live cohorts, learn from the named practitioners, complete hands-on projects, receive support, and build alongside ambitious peers. The curriculum evolves with AI, and you can retake eligible cohorts while your membership remains active. A library gives you more content. The Fellowship gives you a structured path to real capability.

Why are so many programs included?

Because becoming AI-native requires more than prompting. You need to understand product judgment, prototyping, agents, evals, production reliability, strategy, and leadership. The Fellowship brings the complete skill stack into one membership.

You don't need to complete everything at once. Start with the cohort most relevant to your goals and build from there.

Is everything taught live?

The Fellowship is built around live, cohort-based learning. You learn directly from the named practitioners, ask questions, complete applied work, and receive the latest insights from people working at the frontier.

Advanced Product Management is included as an on-demand program for strengthening timeless product fundamentals.

Which cohort should I take first?

Choose based on your most important goal:

  • Building AI products: AI Product Management
  • Building production agents: Agentic Engineering
  • Mastering Claude workflows: AI-Native PM with Claude
  • Designing AI quality systems: AI Evals
  • Leading AI transformation: AI Product Leadership
  • Creating company-level strategy: AI Product Strategy for Leaders
  • Preparing for AI roles: AI Product Manager Interviews

Your first cohort is only the beginning. You can join the others throughout your membership.

How much time will I need each week?

Most cohorts are designed for busy working professionals and require only a few hours per week. The exact commitment varies by program. You'll get the most value by attending live, completing the exercises, and making time for your capstone.

What if I miss a live session?

Attend live whenever possible because the discussions, feedback, and accountability are important parts of the experience.

However, missing an occasional session won't ruin your progress. You can also retake eligible cohorts during your active membership.

Can I join more than one cohort?

Yes. Your membership includes every eligible Fellowship cohort that runs during your active membership. You can begin with AI product building, move into evals or agents, and later develop your strategy and leadership capabilities.

Can I retake a cohort?

Yes. You can retake eligible cohorts at no additional cost while your membership remains active. This allows you to experience the updated curriculum, refresh your knowledge, and apply what you learn to a new project as AI evolves.

Will I receive a certification?

Yes, after completing the requirements of an eligible certification program. Our flagship certifications include applied work and hands-on capstones. Your certification represents something you built, not simply a series of videos you watched.

Will this help me get an AI job or promotion?

The Fellowship helps you develop the skills, judgment, language, and portfolio proof needed for AI-focused opportunities. You can use your work to lead internal AI initiatives, perform better in interviews, demonstrate practical experience, or move into a more AI-native role.

We can't guarantee a job or promotion, but we can help you become far better prepared for one.

Can my employer pay for it?

Yes. Many professionals use their learning and development budgets to cover the Fellowship.

We provide a manager-approval email template explaining the practical value to your company. Corporate cohort options are also available for teams. If your company needs an invoice, email support@productfaculty.com and we'll sort it.

How does the annual membership work?

Your annual membership includes access to eligible Fellowship programs and live cohorts running during your active membership. You can join multiple cohorts and retake eligible ones. Your membership renews annually unless you cancel.

Can I cancel anytime?

Yes. You can cancel anytime to prevent your next annual renewal.

You'll retain access for your current membership period. If you cancel a protected Founding Member membership, you may lose that rate and need to rejoin at the price available at that time.

What's the refund policy?

You can request a full refund within 14 days of your first cohort's start date — not your signup date. Join today, and the clock won't begin until your first selected cohort starts. This gives you time to experience the live instruction and decide whether the Fellowship is right for you.

After the 14-day window, membership fees are non-refundable. You can still cancel anytime to prevent future renewal.

What if my first cohort starts months from now?

Your refund window still won't begin until that cohort officially starts. You can join now, secure your membership, and plan your learning path without losing the opportunity to evaluate the experience.

Why should I join now?

Every month you wait is another month without the skills, projects, and portfolio proof you could already be building. You don't need to master everything immediately. You need a clear path, experienced guidance, and a reason to start shipping.
