Idea to Production Taught by Saurabh Suri
Build with AI. Ship like an engineer.
Come with an idea, a rough prototype, a problem you want to solve, or nothing picked yet. Over four weeks, build with Claude Code or Codex and learn what it takes to turn the work into a real product.
The gap
Learn how the pieces fit together: your coding setup, authentication, a database, deployment, and analytics. Apply what makes sense for your project and keep the scope realistic for four weeks.
The four weeks
Learn the stack behind an AI product.
Each week covers one part of the build. Use the pieces your project needs and leave the rest until later.
- Week 01
Set up and start building
Set up Claude Code or Codex, choose a small project, and build the first working flow.
- Week 02
Add authentication and data
Learn how user accounts and databases fit together, then add only what your project needs.
- Week 03
Deploy it
Put your project in a live environment and learn how configuration, domains, and secrets work.
- Week 04
Add analytics and improve
Track what people do, spot errors, test the main workflow, and decide what to fix next.
Learning outcomes
Practise the decisions behind a working product.
Work toward these skills on a project you choose. The amount you build depends on your starting point, project scope, and time between classes.
- Break an idea into a small first workflow and use Claude Code or Codex to build it.
- Decide whether the project needs user accounts and a database, and understand how they connect.
- Configure a deployment, handle secrets, and understand where a domain fits.
- Test the main user journey, read analytics and errors, and choose the next improvement.
Course format
One class each week, with help while you build.
Weekly live class
Saurabh teaches for 90 minutes each week. Every class is recorded.
Feedback between classes
Share your build, ask specific questions, and get guidance on what to fix next.
Weekly office hours
Join the optional session when you want feedback or help with a blocker.
Your own project
Bring a project or choose one in the first class. Use it to practise the process through all four weeks.
Your instructor
Taught by Saurabh Suri.
Co-founder of Build Future · Founder of Red Brick Labs
Saurabh builds AI products and agentic workflows for startups and enterprise teams through Red Brick Labs. He also co-founded and hosts Build Future, where more than 2,000 people have attended live AI events and workshops.
He works hands-on across agents, RAG, MCP, evaluation, integrations, and deployment. This course follows the same process he uses to take an AI idea from a rough first version to something people can use.
Who should join
For people ready to build with AI.
You can arrive with an idea, a rough prototype, a problem, or nothing picked yet. We will help you choose a manageable project and make meaningful progress. You do not need to be an engineer, but you should be willing to work in a terminal.
- Product managers who want to turn a spec into working software
- Designers who want to put a working product in front of users
- Founders and operators with a product or internal tool to build
- Engineers building a repeatable agentic workflow
