Nishant on the course

Over 8 weekends I went from understanding AI basics to building working prototypes: a chatbot, a RAG pipeline and an agent of my own.

Having Claude and ElevenLabs from day one meant I could focus on learning rather than chasing tool access, and the material shared on each topic let me go deeper wherever I needed to.

If you’re a PM looking to move into AI product management, I’d highly recommend it.

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

What it teaches a PM

How retrieval keeps an answer grounded in real content.

03 / 03

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
