From API call to shipped product.
Most AI courses stop at the API. This one starts there. You will build retrieval pipelines, agent backends, evaluation harnesses, and the frontends that put AI features in front of real users — end to end, no hand-waving.
What you will build
- LLM-powered applications with structured outputs
- RAG pipelines with vector search
- Agent systems with tool use
- Evaluation and observability dashboards
- A complete AI product shipped to production
Course Details
What is this course?
A 16-week program that takes developers from API basics to shipping complete AI products. Covers LLM APIs, structured outputs, RAG, agents, evals, and AI frontends.
Who it’s for
- Developers who want to build AI products, not just call APIs
- Full-stack engineers adding AI capabilities to their skill set
- Technical founders building AI-powered products
- Marathon graduates ready for the next level
Prerequisites
- Solid JavaScript or Python skills
- Experience building web applications
- Familiarity with REST APIs and databases
- Basic understanding of what LLMs are
Why learn this
- AI engineering is the fastest-growing role in tech globally
- Companies pay a premium for developers who can ship AI features, not just prototype them
- The gap between "can call an API" and "can ship an AI product" is where the value is
- RAG and agents are the building blocks of every production AI system
Why study at McTaba Labs
- End-to-end: from LLM API call to deployed AI product
- Practical projects, not Jupyter notebook exercises
- Taught by engineers who build AI products for African markets
- Capstone: ship a complete AI product, not a demo
Build AI products, not demos.
Go from API calls to shipped AI features your users actually want.
