AI by Design

Education

Learn to build the systems.

Most of what AI by Design does is build custom systems for business owners. Some people would rather learn to build it themselves — so we teach the same method we use to organize our own builds. Independent, practical, and priced honestly.

Method over tools

Tools change every few months. A repeatable way of working — inspect, plan, build, review, test, ship — outlives all of them.

You finish with something real

Every course ends in a working build you made yourself, not a folder of notes and a certificate.

Written for operators

For people who run a business and want leverage. Not a computer science course, and not a hype reel.

What's available

Self-pacedAvailable now

Claude Code Class

A self-paced course on using Claude Code as an operator's build tool. You learn one disciplined loop — inspect, plan, build, review, test, ship — and use it to take a real internal tool from an empty folder to something you actually run.

AI by Design Claude Code Build Lab

A live, hands-on version of the same method, run as a working session rather than a lecture. It is still being designed. There is no date, no price, and no way to buy it yet — when that changes, it will be announced in the newsletter first.

Learning it and hiring it are both fine.

The courses and the consulting are the same craft pointed at two different problems. If you have time and want the skill, learn it — the method is the whole point, and you keep it. If what you actually need is the system running by next quarter, that is what AI by Design builds for clients, and a discovery call is the faster path.

Plenty of people do both: take the course, build the first version themselves, then bring us in for the parts that need to be bulletproof.
