Adarsh on the course

This wasn’t passive video-watching, it was building. In 12 weeks I shipped an AI chatbot with database integration, a voice assistant with RAG memory, and an autonomous job search agent.

The takeaway: PMs don’t need to become ML engineers, but the technical confidence to ask the right questions in an AI-first world is non-negotiable. Highly recommend.
