Is your team getting real ROI from AI?
Most teams hit the same walls.
No clear starting point
Teams don't know which AI initiatives will actually move the needle.
Pilots that don't ship
Things move so fast that by the time you're ready to ship, the technology is already obsolete.
Self-learning is slow
Without guidance, teams waste time on the wrong tools and approaches.
People are stretched thin
AI initiatives stall when there's no dedicated time or structure.
Misalignment across teams
Teams pull in different directions and make little progress.
→ If any of these resonate, we can help.
What we do
Every engagement is tailored specifically around your team's goals, tech stack, and use cases.Here's what that can look like:
AI Foundations & Prompt Engineering
Level set teams on AI essentials, align on shared language and best practices, and help everyone use the technology more effectively.
Done-with-you Use Case Workshops
Expert-led sessions for non-technical teams (e.g. sales, ops, finance) to turn use case ideas into working solutions using their AI tools.
On-Site AI Support
AI experts embedded in your teams for the day: ask questions, unblock use cases, and learn how to apply AI to your actual work.
AI Evals for Engineers
Equip your engineering team with the tools to measure and improve AI application quality through practical evaluation loops and pipelines.
AI Coding for Technical Teams
Equip your engineering team with shared AI coding workflows, tooling, and standards so they can build faster with confidence.
AI Engineering Bootcamp
A comprehensive program taking your technical team from using AI tools to building production-ready AI applications.
Who this is for
The teams doing the most with AI aren't the biggest, they're the fastest. Our programs are built for teams of 3+ ready to move.
- Teams of 3+, technical, non-technical, or mixed
- Fast-moving teams that want to stay ahead of the curve on AI
- Teams already using AI tools but looking to standardize and optimize their workflows
For individuals: Check out our self-paced courses and free events.

Shaw Talebi
Ex-Toyota Data Scientist with 8+ years in AI. Teaching over 100k learners.
Shaw earned his PhD from the University of Texas at Dallas, where he was an applied AI researcher. Driven by a passion for learning, he founded a YouTube channel and technical blog that now inspire over 100,000 learners and millions of viewers worldwide.
He created the AI Builders Bootcamp — a top-rated AI course on Maven (4.7★ from 75 reviews) that taught 165 builders from companies including Google, Microsoft, Meta, AWS, and many others.
However, Shaw isn't just an educator. He builds and ships real AI applications end-to-end, including full-stack projects like y2b and Ghst. AI Builder Academy is built directly from the patterns, architectures, and workflows he uses in practice.

Client Testimonials
Shaw delivered a highly engaging and practical AI training session for our team. He tailored the content to our specific business context, and our engineers walked away with skills they could immediately apply.
Geoff Tewksbury
AI Innovation Lead, CEI
The training was exactly what our team needed — practical, relevant, and immediately actionable. Shaw's ability to connect AI concepts to our day-to-day work made all the difference.
Will Clark
Program Principal, NCSL
I started as a non-technical builder with the goal of building one AI app. I'm amazed by how much I've learned. I've built five different AI apps using RAG, embeddings, agents, and prompt engineering.
Michael Trang
Founder/PM, Akua
By the end, I had actionable insights, practical skills, and a solid foundation to develop my own AI systems. Ideal for those ready to stop reading about AI and start building it.
John Reese
CEO, Validea
Easy to follow explanations and practical sessions make this an invaluable program for anyone looking to get a handle on building applications with AI.
Prabhakar Somu
CEO, Zentech Innovations
I went in with a looming sense of overwhelm. The program structure was exactly what I needed to break out of analysis paralysis and actually start building.
Amy
Founder, Appearouette
Dives right into the stuff that matters. Practical stuff you can actually use. If you're trying to get into AI or level up your skills, this is the program you want.

Frequently asked questions
Our programs deliver the most value for teams of at least 3 people. We scope every engagement to your team's size and goals. For individuals, we recommend our self-paced courses and free events.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call to understand your team's current level, tech stack, and business goals. We then tailor the content, examples, and exercises to your specific context.
We work with both. Our engineering-focused programs go deep on building AI applications and AI coding capabilities, while our non-technical programs help teams in functions like sales, ops, finance, and marketing integrate AI into their workflows effectively.
Yes, on a limited basis. 1:1 programs are our highest-touch, highest-cost offering. If budget is a factor, small team programs (3+) deliver more value per person and teams retain more when learning together. For solo learners, our self-paced courses are a great fit.
Formats are tailored to your team's needs. Examples include: 90-minute workshops, on-site embedded support (half or full day), multi-day intensives, and multi-week bootcamps, both on-site and remote.
