"Hands down the best course I've ever taken (for context, I've taken a wide variety from Product School, MIT exPro, Nielsen Norman, etc). Sara and Tyler are extremely knowledgeable, open hearted, and fun."
Our Foundations 2.0 builders present their complete AI agent teams live. Six agents. Two workflows. Built from scratch in three weeks. No coding required. Come see what they made.
Foundations 2.0 is AI Build Lab's flagship 4-week intensive program where professionals learn to engineer production-grade AI agent systems. No coding experience needed. No technical background required. If you can write a clear email, you can build an AI agent team. In 2026, we took everything we learned from Foundations 1.0 and rebuilt the entire curriculum from scratch. Not a single module is the same.
We sat down and asked: what does the agentic landscape actually look like right now? What skills will matter in 6 months? In a year? Then we rebuilt the program from head and heart to serve exactly that. The result is a curriculum focused on the 1% of 1% skills in agentic workflows: the things 99% of professionals still don't know how to build. Our students come from marketing, operations, consulting, education, healthcare, and every industry in between. The common thread is ambition, not a CS degree.
At the end of the program, every student walks away with a complete, end-to-end AI agent system they can demo to clients, sell as a service, or deploy in their business. Not a toy. Not a tutorial project. A real system. But more importantly, they learn the process: idea to PRD to build plan to assemble to evaluate to deploy. That methodology transfers directly to any business, any organization, any use case. Students walk away with both a deployable product AND the methodology to build the next one.
Professionals from these companies have taken this program
Every module is new. Every workflow is new. Here are the key differences from Foundations 1.0.
Not an update. A complete rebuild. We tore it down and rebuilt from scratch for where the agentic space is right now in 2026. Not a single module is the same as 1.0.
Students build Holler, a full router and orchestrator agent that coordinates handoffs between five specialist agents. Real multi-agent orchestration, not just chaining prompts.
Agents are designed like products using PRDs as agent specs. Behavior contracts, capability boundaries, and evaluation criteria, all defined before a single prompt is written.
Observational evals with structured scoring. Students learn to measure agent performance systematically, not just vibe-check outputs. Includes the complete eval framework and rubrics.
Every agent starts as a Product Requirements Document. Archie, the PRD agent, turns your research into structured agent specs with behavior contracts, capability boundaries, and evaluation criteria before a single prompt is written.
The final deliverable isn't a certificate. It's a complete system. Six agents, two workflows, 40+ prompts, human-in-the-loop oversight. Built to demo, sell, or deploy on day one.
Tyler and Sara walk you through every major component of the new curriculum and demo the full system live.
Using Hattie B's Hot Chicken as the teaching case study, see CinnaMon, Holler, Hatch, Scratch, Sugar, and Kansa work together. Seven agents, one mission: handle customer emails from inbox to sent with zero code. Students then build the same system for an organization of their choosing.
Workflow 1 processes emails automatically. Workflow 2 puts you in the loop with a Slack-based review system. See both run end to end.
Meet Evy, the universal eval agent. Watch structured scoring against rubrics replace gut-feel vibe checks. This is how you know your system actually works.
See how students use Gigawatt (their AI engineering partner) and the eight-phase Fisk Method to build production agents from scratch. No coding required.
See the full lifecycle: from idea to PRD (Archie), to build (Gigawatt + the Fisk Method), to evaluate (Evy), to deploy. These skills transfer directly to Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and any AI development environment you use next.
The methodology you learn here transfers everywhere. Spec-driven development. Orchestration thinking. Evaluation mindset. Whether you're building in Cassidy, Claude Code, Cursor, or custom frameworks, the process is the same: define the spec, build the system, measure the results.
What Our Students Say
Tyler and Sara walk through the new curriculum and demo the full system live. Bring your questions.
Sara and Tyler kick things off. What Foundations 2.0 is, why we rebuilt everything, and what you're about to see.
Our Foundations 2.0 builders present their complete AI agent teams. Six agents. Two workflows. 40+ prompts. Built from scratch in three weeks.
Tyler breaks down the multi-agent architecture, the orchestrator pattern, evaluation system, and what makes this approach different from everything else out there.
Open floor. Ask anything about the builds, the curriculum, the agent architecture, or what it takes to go from zero to production.
Upcoming cohorts, what's new, and celebrating what our builders accomplished.
Using Hattie B's Hot Chicken as the teaching case study, every student learns to build this complete agent team step by step, then recreates the same system for an organization of their choosing. No coding. No technical background. Just clear thinking and the right methodology.
Foundations 1.0 was a powerhouse. Fourteen cohorts. Hundreds of professionals building real AI agents and shipping real automation. Students walked in knowing nothing about AI and walked out with working systems they used every day. That course changed careers. It still does.
"The landscapes changed considerably, and Tyler and I had to have a heart-to-heart and go, okay, well, how do we best serve people now with where things are heading in 2026?"
Sara Davison, Foundations 2.0 OrientationSo we took everything that made 1.0 great and asked: what if we went even deeper? We pulled the most powerful frameworks from our advanced DocGen course, rebuilt them at the foundational level, and created something that meets the moment. Same philosophy: evolution, not revolution. Same commitment to every student shipping something real. Just a whole lot more firepower.
Watch our Foundations 2.0 builders present their complete AI agent systems live. Real builds. Real demos. Real results.
