Ullas on the course

I loved building a product live: completely hands-on, rather than just theory.

There was quick support after the classes to build our own ideas, and it carried on after the course was over.

And I came away with a product portfolio built around my own experience, made for me and nobody else.

What changed for Ullas

What it teaches a PM

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

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.
