HYDERABAD’S
DOJO
FOR AI builders.

Two days. One prototype. Engineers who'd rather ship than study.

CHAPTER ONE · WHY

INTELLIGENCE IS CHEAP. AGENCY IS NOT.

AI made smarts cheap. What matters now is deciding to build the thing in front of you.

That's the muscle we train. Two days in a small room in Hyderabad. You walk out with a prototype. Yours.

CHAPTER TWO · WHAT

THE WEEKEND, in pieces.

No. 01

TWO FULL DAYS

Saturday + Sunday. Doors at 9. We build until we can't.

API keys, tools, materials — covered. Just bring a laptop.

No. 04

SMALL BATCH

Capped room. Every builder gets eyes on their build.

No. 05

REAL INSTRUCTORS

Microsoft Research + shipped products. Not theorists.

No. 06

STAY IN THE CREW

Day 1: the toolkit, in three modules. Day 2: you build. We sit beside you.

FOUNDATIONS & THE MODEL LOOP

Model APIs, prompts, structured outputs, tool use. By lunch: a working agent with typed tools.

// ANTHROPIC · OPENAI · PYDANTIC

14:00 — 17:00

RETRIEVAL OVER YOUR DATA

Bring a corpus. Chunking, embeddings, vector store, evals on real questions.

// EMBEDDINGS · CHROMA · RAGAS

17:30 — 20:30

AGENTS THAT FINISH

Tool loops, planning, recovery from failure. A small agent that finishes a real task.

// AGENTS SDK · MCP · EVALS

DAY TWO · SUNDAY

// BUILD DAY

09:30 — 19:00 · ONE PROJECT, ALL DAY

PICK A PROJECT SATURDAY NIGHT. ship it by sunday.

One long build sprint. Pair Day 1's patterns with the idea you walked in with. Instructors next to you — unblocking, reviewing.

By 18:00: UI, deploy, demo. You walk out with a live link.

WHAT YOU WALK OUT WITH

  • A WORKING AI PROTOTYPE ON A PUBLIC URL
  • THE REPO ON GITHUB, README YOU CAN LINK
  • A FIVE-MINUTE DEMO RECORDING
  • CODE REVIEW FROM INSTRUCTORS
  • WHATSAPP ROOM WITH COHORT 01

CHAPTER FOUR · WHO ELSE

THE CREW around it.

MEETUPS

Monthly. Builders in Hyderabad show what they shipped. No slides.

HACKATHONS

48-hour weekend sprints. Real problems. Real judges.

BUILDER NET

Engineers + founders building with AI, not talking about it.

THE TEAM

The team behind High Agency.
