Live AI career upgrade for product managers
Product Manager→Product Builder
Turn product ideas into working, validated products without waiting for engineering. Build prototypes, run validation and hand off specs engineers actually want — live, project-based, and built for experienced PMs.
Live · Project-based · Experience required · Limited cohort
This is for you if…
This track is built for you
- ✓You currently work as a product manager
- ✓You already understand discovery, requirements, user flows and stakeholders
- ✓You have experimented with AI but haven't built a working product yourself
- ✓You want practical skills rather than another theoretical course
- ✓You want work you can demonstrate in interviews or at your current company
You are not starting from zero. We build on the experience you already have.
The transformation
Product Manager → Product Builder
Where you are today
Product Manager
You can:
- ✓ Run discovery and write requirements
- ✓ Map user flows and acceptance criteria
- ✓ Align stakeholders around a product vision
But you may not yet know how to:
- ✕ Prototype and test ideas without waiting on engineering
- ✕ Build working products with AI-assisted tools
- ✕ Validate ideas in days, not sprints
Where we're taking you
Product Builder
You will learn to:
- ✓ Build working product prototypes yourself
- ✓ Run rapid validation experiments
- ✓ Write specs and handoffs engineers actually want
- ✓ Demo products like a product leader
You won't finish with another certificate.
You'll finish having built something real.
By the end of the program, you will have built:

What You Will Build
Scan this. This is what you leave with — every project is a working artifact, not a lesson.
Project 01
Product Specification
Turn an idea into users, workflows, requirements and acceptance criteria.
Project 02
Working Product
Build a functioning prototype from your spec using AI-assisted tools.
Project 03
Polished UX
Design workflows, navigation, empty states and key interactions.
Project 04
Data & AI Prototype
Add real data, APIs or AI capabilities to your prototype.
Project 05
Validation Experiment
Test assumptions with users and iterate quickly on what you learn.
Project 06
Engineering Handoff
Package the validated prototype into requirements, flows and technical assumptions.
Capstone
Take one idea all the way: Idea → Working Product → Validation → Engineering Handoff → Demo.
Demo it · discuss it · prove it
Curriculum
Every module ends in an output
Each module is built around a capability you can use — not a topic list. Expand a module to see the key concepts behind what you'll build.
Your flagship project
Take one idea all the way: Idea → Working Product → Validation → Engineering Handoff → Demo.
Demo it to the cohort. Discuss it in interviews. Show it internally. Use it as proof of capability.
Your unfair advantage
You're closer to Product Builder than you think.
You already understand discovery, requirements, user flows, validation and stakeholder communication. Building adds the ability to turn those skills into working products you can demo.

Product-first demos
Why UPGRADE
Not another AI course
Built for professionals
No “what is Python?” or unnecessary from-zero content.
Learn by building
Real systems and outputs, not passive lectures.
Production thinking
Architecture, reliability, evaluation, security and deployment.
Proof of capability
Finish with work you can demo and discuss.
The format
How the live program works
01
Before each live session
Short preparation material so you arrive ready to build.
02
Live session
Instructor builds and explains concepts in real time.
03
Build assignment
You implement the system yourself.
04
Review
Feedback, debugging and architecture discussion.
05
Capstone
Combine everything into one meaningful project.
No endless recorded-video library. You learn by showing up and building.
Your instructors
Learn from practitioners who have built and led at top technology, finance and consulting companies.
UPGRADE is taught by experienced engineers, architects, product leaders and operators with professional backgrounds across organizations such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Goldman Sachs, BCG and Paytm.
Not career trainers teaching from slides. Practitioners teaching systems, decisions and lessons from real-world work.
- ✓ Experienced engineers, architects, product leaders and operators
- ✓ Built and shipped production systems at scale
- ✓ Enterprise AI architecture and implementation
- ✓ Decisions and lessons from real-world work
- ✓ Practitioners — not career trainers
Practitioner backgrounds include
What participants build
Real systems, not certificates
Every cohort ends with participants demoing what they built — real systems, not slide decks. As cohorts run, we'll replace this space with actual participant work and before/after stories.
- ✓ Production AI applications
- ✓ RAG systems with evaluation
- ✓ AI agents with tools and guardrails
- ✓ Working product prototypes
- ✓ Enterprise AI reference architectures
This program is not for everyone
Don't join if:
- ✕ You are looking for a completely passive course
- ✕ You cannot commit time to actually building
- ✕ You want only a certificate
- ✕ You have no relevant professional foundation for this track
Join if
- ✓ You already have experience in product manager
- ✓ You want practical AI capability
- ✓ You're willing to build every week
- ✓ You want to become a Product Builder
What this unlocks
Possible outcomes
Upgrade your current role
Use AI to test ideas and ship prototypes without waiting on engineering.
Move into an AI-native role
Build the skills required to credibly pursue Product Builder roles.
Build proof
Have working products and validation results you can show, not just decks.
Build independently
Stop being blocked on engineers and start turning ideas into working products.
