Disha on the course

Loved the programme. The most striking part was building a voicebot together.

Thanks to the learnings, I got the opportunity to work on better AI products in my organisation.

Very well planned, and well suited to experienced professionals new to AI.

Podcast search engine and MCP server

Semantic search over a thousand podcast episodes, then the same engine exposed over the Model Context Protocol so an AI assistant can search, keep notes and run research briefs.

What it teaches a PM

An MCP endpoint is a live API: ship it with auth.
