AI skills are no longer optional—but learning them doesn’t require a technical background or months of tutorials.

In this live session, Albert’s List teams up with Scott Simson, founder of AI Marketing World, to show how professionals are using vibe coding to build real AI projects, develop in-demand skills, and ship usable MVPs—fast.
This is a practical, beginner-friendly walkthrough, not a theory talk.

### What You’ll Learn

• The top AI tools to focus on in 2026 (and which ones to ignore)
• What “vibe coding” actually means—and why it works for non-technical builders
• How to identify high-leverage software niches where simple AI products win
• How to build AI workflows and apps with zero prior coding experience
• How to go from idea → prototype → MVP in days, not months
• What to do after you build: validation, iteration, and next steps
• How these skills translate into career leverage, consulting, or side projects

### Who This Event Is For

• Job seekers looking to future-proof their skills
• Marketers, operators, and product-adjacent professionals
• Non-technical builders who want to ship real AI projects
• Anyone curious about AI but overwhelmed by the technical barrier

AI has made it easier than ever to build.

But in 2026, building is no longer the hard part.

The real challenge is:
• knowing what to build,
• where you have leverage,
• and how to turn AI into sustained advantage — in your career or in a real product.

This 6-week cohort is for people who want to move beyond experimenting with AI tools and start operating AI-natively — with clarity, structure, and real outcomes.

This is not a passive course.
It’s a guided execution cohort led by operators who’ve built and scaled real AI, cloud, and security platforms.

⸻

What This Cohort Helps You Do

By the end of 6 weeks, you will have:
• A clear AI-Native Advantage Map tailored to your background
• A real system, product, or workflow you’ve built and iterated
• Faster decision-making and execution loops using AI
• A practical understanding of where AI helps vs. where humans must lead
• A validated direction you can continue scaling after the cohort
• An opportunity to monetize your unfair advantages

Whether you’re reinventing your career, launching something new, or leveling up how you work — this cohort is about turning insight into action.

⸻

What Makes This Different

This cohort is grounded in real operator experience, not theory.

You’ll learn directly from practitioners who have:
• Scaled engineering teams from 1 → 900
• Delivered $1B+ in enterprise cloud & AI transformations
• Built and shipped AI-native products used by real customers
• Designed systems that work in regulated, high-stakes environments

Everything you’ll work on is informed by:
• real metrics,
• real failures,
• and real systems that are live today.

No hype. No fluff. No tool-of-the-week chasing.

⸻

What You’ll Build (Examples)

Participants typically build one of the following (or a hybrid):
• An AI-native product MVP
• A repeatable AI-augmented workflow for their role or business
• A domain-specific AI system (research, ops, GTM, compliance, etc.)
• A validated problem + distribution path
• A clear post-cohort roadmap for scaling

You don’t need to know exactly what you’re building on Day 1 — clarity emerges through guided work.

⸻

How the 6 Weeks Work

Format
• 6 weeks total
• Weekly live sessions (1–2 hours)
• Dedicated small-group office hours
• Highly interactive and execution-focused
• Limited cohort size for quality feedback

Style
• Hands-on
• Practical
• Iterative
• Supportive but rigorous

This is designed to fit alongside work — but it does require effort.

⸻

The 6-Week Arc (High-Level)
• Week 1 — Direction & Leverage - Identify where AI meaningfully amplifies you
• Week 2 — System Design - Map AI / Human / Hybrid workflows
• Week 3 — Build & Instrumentation - Create something real and measurable
• Week 4 — Feedback & Iteration - Learn fast from users, data, or outcomes
• Week 5 — Distribution & Validation - Avoid the “build in an echo chamber” trap
• Week 6 — Ship, Reflect, Scale - Lock in momentum and next steps

We focus on outcomes, not overwhelming curricula.

⸻

Who This Is For

This cohort is ideal for:
• Solopreneurs & founders building AI-native products or services
• Small teams (2–5 people) looking to move faster with AI
• Career pivoters navigating what’s next in the AI era
• Engineers & AI builders who want sharper product and system thinking
• Non-technical professionals who want leverage, not buzzwords
• New grads & early-career professionals ready to differentiate themselves

If you’re motivated, curious, and willing to do the work — you’ll fit right in.

⸻

What This Is Not

This cohort is not:
• a passive video course
• a prompt library
• a tool walkthrough
• a weekend side-project
• a theory-only program

If you’re looking to sit back and consume content, this won’t be a good fit.

⸻

What’s Included
• Live weekly sessions with Shaan & Soham
• Small-group office hours
• AI-Native Advantage Map templates
• Internal AI-across-the-business taxonomy
• Access to cohort community
• Live reviews and feedback on participant work
• Priority access to future programs and cohorts

⸻

Timing & Availability
• Cohort starts on January 22, 2026
• Seats are limited
• Applications reviewed on a rolling basis

We intentionally keep cohorts small to preserve quality.

⸻

Ready to Join?

If our webinars gave you clarity, this cohort gives you momentum.

If you want:
• structure,
• guidance,
• and a real outcome in 6 weeks —

this is your next step.

Reserve your seat and join the cohort
