Junisha on the course

It helped me grasp concepts that were otherwise floating around in conversations, and gave me a real grip on the world of AI by actual hands-on building.

I truly appreciate the high-touch model you followed to get things built, and hence understood.

The best compliment I received recently? “Oh, you’ve become technical so fast! I’ll need more time even if I’m vibe coding. What have you been up to?”

What it teaches a PM

What makes a chatbot useful is memory and tools, not the model alone.

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.

Personal AI agent with voice

One agent loop that searches and reads the web, remembers you between sessions, runs a job search from your resume and answers the phone, with chat and voice sharing one memory.

What it teaches a PM
