What it is
What AI Engineering does
A 400-lesson course that runs as a Mac app rather than a website. Code labs are editable and run in place, the 80 architecture decisions make you choose before showing you the trade-off, and the tutor is grounded in the curriculum and works offline.
Forty courses, eighty modules, four hundred lessons. The structure matters less than the fact that 141 of them are editable code labs that execute locally — you are not reading about a retrieval pipeline, you are fixing one that fails.
The tutor is constrained to the curriculum. That is a deliberate limitation: a general chatbot will happily invent an answer, while a grounded one will tell you which lesson covers the gap.
How it does its job
80 architecture decisions
You commit to a choice before the trade-off is revealed.
40 portfolio projects
Complete builds you keep, not screenshots of someone else's.
What it doesn't do
It teaches engineering judgement, not one vendor's certification syllabus.
