What you learn in the 28-day AI bootcamp
A 28-day guided bootcamp built for total beginners. Each day pairs a video with a hands-on task, so you learn by doing. You’ll start with the fundamentals of AI and prompting, then choose a track and build your own AI agent, web app, or data dashboard — live, and ready to share with anyone.
One foundation. Then your path.
Everyone starts on the same path — two weeks of foundations every builder needs. Then in Weeks 3-4 you branch into the track that fits what you want to make.
Everyone starts here, assuming zero experience. You’ll learn what AI really is, how to prompt with intention, and how to research, validate, and spec out an idea. You’ll meet the builder tools — Cursor, Claude Code, and Codex — then close out the two weeks with a sneak peek at each track, so you can pick your path with confidence. And you’re not limited to one track: finish your first, then come back for the other two whenever you’re ready.
Start Learning AI FoundationsInteractive tools and sites people open, click through, and use.
Pick this if:
- You want a real interface — pages, forms, buttons, and logins.
- You want people to create, edit, and save their own stuff — posts, listings, bookings, profiles.
- You’re building something people use day to day — a marketplace, a booking tool, or a member community.
AI that takes action on your users’ behalf, automatically.
Pick this if:
- Your idea is about automation — “when this happens, do that.”
- You want AI to do the work, not just answer questions.
- The value is saving time on repetitive, multi-step tasks.
Raw numbers turned into a clear, visual story.
Pick this if:
- Your idea is about tracking, measuring, or monitoring something.
- You want to help people spot patterns they’d otherwise miss.
- You’ve got data — sales, health, finance, ops — and need to make sense of it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know before you start.
Do I need any coding or AI experience?
No prior experience is required. The first two weeks begin with the fundamentals of AI and assume no coding or AI background, so you'll build confidence from Day 1 as you learn by doing.
How much time does it take each day?
Each day includes a video and a hands-on task to apply what you've learned. There's a new lesson every day across the 28 days, and you're free to spend as much time building as you'd like.
Am I stuck with one track?
Not at all — you can switch at any time you like. You're never locked into your first pick, and you can even finish one track and come back later to build the others.
Is it included in my Treehouse subscription?
Yes. The bootcamp is included with any paid Treehouse plan at no additional cost. If you're already a member, you can jump straight into the bootcamp; if you're new, you can start with a free 7-day trial.
Do I need to pay for AI tools?
You can begin on the free plans of the tools we use. A few of the builder tools introduced in weeks 3-4, such as Cursor and Claude Code, offer more on a paid plan — and we'll explain exactly when an upgrade is worthwhile so you can decide for yourself.
How do I start?
Start your free 7-day trial, or jump straight into the bootcamp if you're already a member, and begin with Day 1. Each day guides you through exactly what to watch and what to build, so there's nothing to figure out on your own.
Will what I learn be outdated in six months?
AI tools evolve quickly, but the underlying approach doesn't. You'll learn a repeatable process — from the fundamentals and prompting to building a real project — that transfers to whatever tools come next and keeps your skills relevant well beyond the bootcamp.
Ready to build your first AI product?
You don’t need a technical background to get started — just the willingness to build. Follow the daily lessons, put each one into practice, and in 28 days you’ll have built a real AI product of your own.
