Most free AI courses are recycled slide decks.
This one is different.

We built the course we wish existed when we started learning AI.

You Build, Not Watch

Every lesson ends with working code you wrote yourself. Not copy-paste from a tutorial. Real code. Real understanding. You will have 5 deployed AI projects by the end of Day 5.

Written by a Practitioner

Bo Peng builds production AI systems for federal agencies and has trained 400+ professionals. This isn’t academic theory. It’s what actually works when you ship AI to real users.

Genuinely Free

No hidden paywall at Day 3. No “upgrade to continue.” All 5 days are free forever. We make money from the bootcamp, not from nickel-and-diming you on a free course.

Five days. Five projects. One complete foundation.

Each day builds on the last. By Day 5 you have a working AI application live on the internet.

1
Day

Build a Python script that connects to Claude’s API, sends a prompt, and gets an intelligent response. You’ll understand tokens, models, and how every AI application on earth works under the hood.

Python basics API calls Environment setup LLM fundamentals 45–60 min
2
Day

Build a script that takes any PDF or text file, feeds it to Claude with a structured prompt, and extracts specific information. You’ll build a document summarizer that actually works — on real files, with real output.

File handling Prompt engineering Structured output Document processing 45–60 min
3
Day

Build an AI agent that can search the web, read files, and make decisions on its own. Not a chatbot — an agent that takes a goal and works toward it autonomously. This is how production AI systems actually operate.

Tool use Agent loops Decision making Error handling 60–75 min
4
Day

Build a retrieval-augmented generation system that answers questions about your documents — not generic internet knowledge, but specific answers grounded in specific files. The pattern behind every serious enterprise AI product.

Embeddings Vector search Chunking Retrieval Grounded generation 60–75 min
5
Day

Take everything from Days 1–4 and deploy it as a working web application that anyone can use. Your first real AI product, live on the internet by the end of the session. FastAPI, hosting, and production-grade error handling included.

FastAPI Deployment Environment variables Error handling Production 75–90 min

Your first AI project
is 45 minutes away.

Built for people who learn by doing.

Complete Beginners

You want to understand AI by doing, not watching. You’ve tried tutorials but nothing stuck. Day 1 starts from zero and builds real intuition fast.

Developers

You already code but haven’t added AI to your toolkit. This course shows you exactly how modern AI APIs work and how to build on top of them.

Managers & Leaders

You need to understand what AI can actually build — not vendor marketing. After 5 days you’ll know exactly what’s possible and what to ask your team.

Career Changers

You’re exploring whether AI is the right pivot. 5 days of hands-on work will tell you more than any career quiz. Build something real and see how it feels.

Federal Employees

Building AI literacy under OMB M-25-21? This course covers the exact foundations required. Hands-on, agency-agnostic, and directly applicable to government workflows.

Busy Professionals

45–90 minutes per day. Self-paced. No live sessions to attend. Go at your own speed, skip what you know, revisit what you don’t. It fits around real work.

Your Instructor

Bo Peng — Data Scientist & AI Engineer

“I built this course because most free AI content is garbage. It’s either too theoretical, too outdated, or too shallow to actually change how you work. This course is what I wish existed when I started — hands-on from minute one, building real things, with explanations that respect your intelligence.”

Bo builds production AI systems for federal agencies and has trained 400+ professionals across industries. Kaggle Top 200. He wrote this course to be the thing he wished existed: direct, practical, and unafraid to show you the messy parts that most tutorials skip.

The Next Step

If 5 days changed how you think about AI,
imagine 3 days in a room with Bo.

The Precision AI Academy bootcamp is the in-person, intensive version of everything in this course — plus multi-agent systems, advanced RAG, production deployment, AI strategy, and 5 more hands-on projects. Small groups. Real code. Career-changing 3 days.

Common questions.

Is this really free?

Yes. All 5 days, forever. No paywall, no upgrade required. We make money from the in-person bootcamp, not by gatekeeping a free course.

Do I need Python experience?

Basic familiarity helps but isn’t required. Day 1 covers environment setup and the fundamentals. If you’ve written a for loop in any language, you’ll be fine. If you haven’t, Day 1 walks you through it.

What do I need to get started?

A laptop, internet connection, and a free Anthropic API key. We show you exactly how to get one in Day 1. The first few dollars of API usage are free on Anthropic’s free tier.

How long does each lesson take?

45–90 minutes depending on the day and your experience level. Days 1 and 2 are lighter. Days 3, 4, and 5 are more involved but also more rewarding. You can go faster or slower — it’s self-paced.

Is this just a sales funnel for the bootcamp?

The course is genuinely valuable on its own. We mention the bootcamp once — at the end of Day 5, after you’ve already built something real. If it changed how you think about AI, you’ll want to know what’s next. If not, you got 5 solid projects for free. That’s the deal.

Stop watching tutorials.

Free. Self-paced. 5 real projects. Start in the next 5 minutes.
