Community Initiative

Learn AI by Building

A collaborative initiative where we learn AI together by building real-world projects. No lectures. No prerequisites. No fees.

Over the past few months, many people have reached out - not just to talk about AI, but to truly understand it, to learn by building, and to explore how it can solve real-world problems.

That genuine curiosity has been inspiring. So I decided to spend some of my personal time on weekends working with you on small, real-world AI projects.

Nothing formal - just a collaborative approach to learn together. No prerequisites - just bring your curiosity and a mindset to learn by experimenting.

Working on AI/ML and agent-based projects at Microsoft, Atlassian, and PhonePe - combined with learning from Coursera and DeepLearning.AI, researching AI hallucinations, and building research agents - has shaped how I think about intelligent systems. I genuinely believe we can build something meaningful together.

Questions About AI/ML Training

Everything you need to know about learning AI/ML and transitioning to an AI career

The best AI courses for working professionals are hands-on, project-based programs that fit around work schedules. Our Learn AI by Building program offers free weekend sessions where you build real-world Generative AI, LLM, and AI Agent projects with guidance from a Senior Microsoft AI Engineer. No prerequisites required - just bring your curiosity.

Software engineers can transition to AI/ML by: 1) Learning foundational concepts through hands-on projects, 2) Building a portfolio of AI projects like RAG systems, chatbots, and AI agents, 3) Getting mentorship from industry experts, 4) Leveraging your existing programming skills. Weekend AI courses designed for developers make this transition practical while working full-time.

Generative AI refers to AI systems that can create new content - text, code, images, and more. You should learn it because: 1) It's transforming every industry, 2) Companies are actively hiring for GenAI skills with average salaries of $150K+, 3) It increases productivity by 40-60%, 4) Demand for AI skills is growing exponentially. Learning through hands-on projects is the most effective approach.

Yes, 100% free! Learn AI by Building is a community initiative with no fees, no hidden costs, and no prerequisites. The program is taught by Debasish Maji, a Senior AI Engineer at Microsoft, who dedicates weekend time to help professionals learn AI by building real projects together. Join 500+ professionals already learning for free.

Unlike Coursera or Udemy which offer pre-recorded videos, our program provides: 1) Live instruction with real-time Q&A, 2) Hands-on project building, not just theory, 3) Direct mentorship from an industry expert at Microsoft, 4) A supportive community of 500+ professionals, 5) Weekend-friendly schedule for working professionals. You learn by building real AI systems.

With dedicated weekend learning, you can gain job-ready AI/ML skills in 3-6 months. The key is hands-on practice: Build 3-5 real projects (chatbots, RAG systems, AI agents), understand core concepts through implementation, and leverage your existing software engineering skills. Our bootcamp-style weekend learning accelerates this timeline significantly.

You'll learn the most in-demand AI technologies: Large Language Models (LLMs), ChatGPT/GPT-4 integration, Azure OpenAI, Semantic Kernel, AutoGen, LangChain, RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) systems, Vector Databases (FAISS, Pinecone, ChromaDB), AI Agents, and production ML deployment. All through hands-on projects.

Our AI/ML training is available globally with flexible weekend sessions. We have participants from the United States, United Kingdom, India, and many other countries. Sessions are designed to accommodate different time zones, and you can join from anywhere with internet access.
