Is this a certification?

Yes. Complete the capstone and you earn the Certified AI Orchestrator™ credential, plus a Maven Certificate of Completion. Add both to LinkedIn and share them with your network.

I've taken AI courses before. How is this different?

Most AI courses teach prompting or concepts. This one builds infrastructure. You graduate with a working Personal AI OS, reusable Skills, and a team of agents you'll keep using after the course ends.

Do I need technical or coding skills?

No. You'll use Claude Cowork and Code in plain English. No programming required, just curiosity and a willingness to experiment.

Do I need a Claude subscription?

Yes. You build your Personal AI OS with Claude Cowork and Code, both of which require a Claude Pro or Max subscription.

How much time does it take?

The program runs two weeks with six live sessions. Expect about 90 minutes per session, plus 1-2 hours of build time between sessions. Office hours are optional.

What if I can't attend live sessions?

All sessions are recorded. You'll have lifetime access to recordings and materials.

What's the refund policy?

Your purchase is backed by the Maven Guarantee. Students are eligible for a full refund up until the halfway point of the course.

The Difference

What Separates Operators

Most professionals use AI like a search engine. Operators don't prompt. They build systems.

The Method

The Orchestrator Method™

Five principles for delegating real professional work to AI while preserving judgment at every step. The same principles apply at every layer of system you build — from a single prompt to a multi-agent workflow. Installed in Week 1 of the program and threaded through every week after.

Define the End State

Write down what “done” looks like before you start. What you don’t define, you’ll end up doing yourself.

↳ Most AI work fails at the brief, not the model.

Plan with AI

Use AI to plan your AI work. Meta-planning is the fastest shortcut to better delegation.

↳ If you can’t describe the plan, you can’t delegate it.

Deconstruct, then Delegate

Break the task into smaller pieces. Decide what runs in parallel and what runs sequentially. Then delegate each one.

↳ Big tasks fail. Small tasks ship.

Stay in the Loop

Review AI outputs every step. Set checkpoints for multi-step work. The more autonomy you give, the more deliberate the review.

↳ Delegate the work. Hold the judgment.

Build Systems for Reuse

If a task repeats, convert it to a reusable system: a brief becomes a skill, a workflow, or an agent that runs again on demand.

↳ Tasks repeat. Systems compound.

Curriculum

What You'll Learn

Two weeks. Four core live sessions plus optional build labs. One complete system you keep.

Week 1 / 02

Sessions 1 & 2

Foundations & Your Personal AI OS

Install the operating mindset, then stand up your system. You learn The Orchestrator Method™, how AI actually thinks, and the AIM™ framework for writing context that holds across sessions. By the end of the week your Personal AI OS is live on your own machine with Claude Cowork and Code.

“I've spent 20 years in tech, trained IT pros, built large scale systems and guided Fortune 500 companies to AI. Today, my mission is to make AI learning accessible for everyone. This course exists because I watched too many smart people struggle with AI, not because it's hard, but because no one taught them how to think about it. That's what we fix here.”

“Really glad I took this one. Sash did a great job breaking down AI in a way that's actually practical and useful to your personal life and work right away. The course is set up really well week by week. You start with prompt writing (which sounds basic but there's a real art to it), then you move into orchestration, and eventually you're building agents. Sash really takes the time to explain concepts and since the class size is small, he is able to give personal attention. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to go beyond just chatting with AI and actually make it work for them.”

RahulBanking Consultant, EY

“This course is for those who want develop an orchestrator mindset and build strong foundations on agentic knowledge work. Sash is great!”

AmareshStrategy & Operations, Self

“Very practical course providing an opportunity to create your own tools as you go to make your life easier. Sash has been great in answering questions, sharing advice and walking us through our individual cases so that we can get most of the course.”

IngridaGlobal HR and Talent Leader

“The course helped to create a mindset which creates a distinction among other people how to think about AI and what is the right approach to utilize the AI. The course taught me the skills which can be used to multiple tools. The course was not only about how to use Claude however it was about how to have a proper mindset using multiple LLM tools”

PratikTechnical Program Manager, Capital Health

“This seminal and well structured course helped me spruce up my (outdated) AI knowledge, now at par with a fairly well versed AI practitioner of today. As a new joiner at an AI ready firm, I was anxious about my gaps in knowledge. This course got me right back up with its generous and thorough exploration of concepts, especially systems thinking, agentic orchestration and data organisation, along with toolage and frameworks. Shashwat brings the energy and excitement as a tutor, fused with well curated materials, and as a well developed communicator, making it easy to engage. Thanks Shashwat for the class - I'm excited to build stuff!”

Akash AlphonsCorporate Affairs, Hero Futures Energies

“This was an amazing course. Sash has a deep understanding of how AI works and is able to break down complex concepts into easy to understand explanations so we were able to understand not just the building blocks of AI but where it is going. He adapted his course based on current changes and made himself available to help the cohort. Thank you Sash!”

Ilya PozharskySVP Enterprise, eShare

“Just completed Sash's course on AI for knowledge work, and it took my AI knowledge to the next level. It is an incredibly useful, hands-on deep dive into building actual skills and autonomous agents with Claude. What really sets this course apart is the balance between practice and theory. Sash gives you the right theoretical underpinning of AI, helping you build the right guardrails & understanding the structural limits of agentic knowledge work. Then, he shows you what AI can do with scaffolded training examples and projects that you do on your own so you "learn by doing". On top of the excellent content, Sash was incredibly generous with his time and highly accessible throughout the cohort. Whether you are an industry professional looking to scale your workflows or a curious beginner just starting out, this course is absolutely for you.”
