About the Client 

Our client is an AI education platform that teaches professionals how to build real software and analytics tools using modern AI. Through hands-on training programs, students learn “vibe coding”—a workflow where you describe what you want, AI writes the code, and you iterate until the tool works. Our programs help analysts, operators, and business professionals move beyond using AI as a chatbot and start using it to build the tools their teams actually need. Clients are provided with a working prototype solution for the problem they are trying to solve before they even begin their training and come away with a fully built MVP.
