8-Week Program

For Sprint Graduates

You proved you can build.

Now build the skill permanently.

The 8-Week Production AI Mastery program takes you from
"I made one thing" to "I can make anything."

More projects. Deeper patterns.
Databases. Authentication. Deployment.
The full toolkit.

Your $297 Sprint credit is ready to apply.

New here? Here's what this is about:

Six months ago, Rachel couldn't write a line of code.

Last month, she launched a client portal.
Real logins. Real payments. Real clients using it.

"I built that," she told me. "Still can't believe it."

If you haven't done the Sprint yet, start there. Your $297 becomes credit here.

What This Is

The Sprint was 7 days, one project.
The 8-Week is 8 weeks, multiple projects—each one building on the last.

Week 1: Foundation refresh + project scoping

Week 2: Data persistence (databases)

Week 3: User authentication

Week 4: APIs and integrations

Week 5: Deployment and hosting

Week 6: Project #2 (your choice)

Week 7: Advanced patterns

Week 8: Production polish + Ship Day

By the end, you'll have built 2-3 real projects and have the skills to build anything else you want.

Who This Is For

You've done the Sprint.
You shipped something.
You felt what it's like to build.

Now you want more:

To build things that persist (databases, users, real apps)
To deploy things online (not just on your computer)
To connect to other tools (APIs, integrations)
To build faster (patterns that scale)

The 8-Week is for people who caught the building bug and want to go deeper.

Why Go Deeper

Most people who stop at the Sprint build one tool.
It works. They're happy.

Then 6 months later, they try to build something more complex.
They hit walls they didn't hit before.

The data doesn't persist. (You need a database.)

Other people need to use it. (You need authentication.)

It needs to connect to other tools. (You need APIs.)

It needs to live on the internet. (You need deployment.)

The patterns are different at this level.

The 8-Week teaches you those patterns.
So when you have the next idea, you know how to build it.

What you'll build each week

GIF: Foundation Refresh

Week 1:
Foundation Refresh

Review the core patterns from the Sprint. Scope your 8-Week projects. Set up your development environment for more complex work.

Output: Project plan for Weeks 2-8.

GIF: Data Persistence

Week 2:
Data Persistence

Your Sprint project probably didn't save data. This week, you add a database. • Choosing the right database • Schema design • CRUD operations • Data relationships

Output: Your project now saves and retrieves data.

GIF: User Authentication

Week 3:
User Authentication

If your app has users, they need to log in. • Authentication patterns • Session management • User roles and permissions • Secure password handling

Output: Your project has real user accounts.

GIF: APIs and Integrations

Week 4:
APIs and Integrations

Connect your app to other services. • Working with external APIs • Building your own API • Webhooks • Common integrations

Output: Your project talks to external services.

GIF: Deployment and Hosting

Week 5:
Deployment and Hosting

Your app works on your computer. Now put it online. • Deployment options • Environment variables • Domain setup • Monitoring and logging

Output: Your project is live on the internet.

GIF: Project #2

Week 6:
Project #2

You've learned databases, auth, APIs, deployment. Now build something new from scratch—faster. This project uses everything you've learned.

Output: A second complete project.

GIF: Advanced Patterns

Week 7:
Advanced Patterns

Patterns for more complex work. • Multi-step workflows • Background jobs and queues • Real-time features • Error handling

Output: Advanced features added to your projects.

GIF: Production Polish + Ship Day

Week 8:
Production Polish + Ship Day

Final polish. Launch prep. Ship Day. • Performance optimization • Edge cases • User experience polish • Ship Day presentations

Output: Production-ready projects you're proud of.

Real projects from real graduates

Rachel K.

Freelance Designer

Built: Client Portal

Rachel came to Week 1 using four different tools for her freelance design business. "I had Notion for project tracking. Loom for feedback. Stripe for invoicing. Email for everything else. Nothing talked to each other. I was copying and pasting client names between tabs like it was 2005." Week 4, she built the API integrations. Week 5, she deployed it. Week 6, her first client logged in. "They uploaded files, left comments, and paid an invoice. All in one place. MY place. I built that." She cancelled $87/month in subscriptions the next day.

David M.

Operations Manager

Built: Team Dashboard

David's team ran on spreadsheets. "Every Monday, I'd spend 2 hours pulling numbers from three different tools into a Google Sheet. Then I'd format it. Then I'd email it to my boss. Then she'd ask for a different view. Another hour gone." Week 3, he built the authentication so his team could log in. Week 4, he connected the APIs. Week 5, he deployed it. "Now the dashboard updates itself. My boss has her own login. She looks at whatever view she wants. I got 5 hours of my week back." He built the whole thing during his lunch breaks.

M

Maria L.

Gym Owner

Built: Gym Management System

Maria was paying $150/month for gym software she hated. "It had 47 features. I used 3. But the 3 I needed didn't work the way I wanted. I couldn't customize anything. Every month I'd think: there has to be a better way." Week 2, she built the class scheduling. Week 3, member logins. Week 4, Stripe payments. Week 8, she turned off the old software. "My members book classes, pay monthly, check their history. It does exactly what I need. Nothing more. And I own it." $150/month × 12 months = $1,800/year she's not paying anymore.
