GenAI Unplugged Academy

Live, guided learning. Small groups. Real results.

Two programs. Same promise: no passive watching, no generic advice, no course you abandon on Week 3. You show up, you build, you leave with something that works.

Both programs use the same small-group format. The difference is audience level and format. Start where you actually are, not where you want to be.

What online courses cannot give you

You have probably bought a course. You know what happens on Week 3 when work gets busy. Live cohorts are different by design.

👥

Accountability that works

You cannot ghost a room of 7 people who showed up to build alongside you. The cohort format means you show up because it matters to others too.

Stuck for 30 seconds, not 30 days

Online courses leave you stuck with no one to ask. Every session has live help available. You work through real blockers in real time.

🎯

Your problems, not textbook examples

Every exercise uses your real work. Hot seats solve your actual business problems in front of the group. Generic advice does not happen at 8 people.

From the community

"I just created an agent that Dheeraj Sharma built and my mind is BLOWN. His work is fantastic."

Kim Doyal

"I started watching this course without any prior knowledge of n8n, but now I'm confident enough to create my own workflows. Even many paid courses don't go into this level of depth."

"Massive shoutout to Dheeraj Sharma and his SubflowAI app. It let me schedule all my Notes in minutes so I could detox while the building kept moving."

Elena

"One of the best practical overviews of AI agents I've seen. Clear structure, logic, and timings for all the steps."

Questions

Frequently asked

Which program is right for me?

If you are new to AI tools and want to confidently use them in your professional work without any coding, start with AI Foundations (in-person, Philadelphia area). If you are already using Claude Code and want to build production systems like MCP servers, hooks, and multi-agent pipelines, join the Claude Code Builder virtual cohort. When in doubt, start with AI Foundations.

Can I do both programs?

Yes, but in order. AI Foundations first, then Claude Code Builder. They are designed as a progression — though many Claude Code Builder students come from other backgrounds entirely.

What if I am somewhere in between?

If you want to confidently use AI in your day-to-day work, in person, AI Foundations is the right move. If you want to build a Claude Code system that runs your business (no prior experience needed, just Claude Pro and a laptop), Claude Code Builder is for you. The free Claude Code Masterclass is a great warm-up, but not required. Email me at [email protected] and I will give you a straight answer.

Are these ongoing programs or one-time cohorts?

Both run in cohort batches — a fixed start date, set number of sessions, same group of students throughout. AI Foundations runs multiple batches. Claude Code Builder runs its founding cohort July 25 – Aug 16, 2026 on Maven; the next batch follows at the regular $1,597 price.

What if I am not in the Philadelphia area?

AI Foundations is in-person only (Montgomery County, PA). The Claude Code Builder cohort is fully virtual — Zoom, open to anyone globally.
