AI isn't replacing you.people who use AI are.

the gap is still small.

[ 02 / who ]
the course is built for

smart people who don't code, but want to stay ahead of the competition

  • designers

    ship the thing you've been mocking up

  • project managers

    stop waiting on the eng backlog

  • marketing specialists

    build the campaign tool you wish existed

  • business owners

    prototype the idea before you hire for it

[ 03 / what ]
what you learn

the technical edge, in four sessions

four sessions in. you operate differently. the gap between an idea in your head and something running on a real URL collapses to one session of focused work.

  • build websites, apps, and AI agents

    ship real things to real URLs. small, focused agents that actually work — not demos.

  • automate the boring half of your week

    reports, follow-ups, content production, data shuffling. let AI do the work your role rewards but doesn't reward your time for.

  • wire AI into your whole stack

    slack, gmail, notion, sheets, your CRM, your design tool. build the connections that turn your tools into a personal operating system.

  • operate like a top performer

    the marketers, PMs, and designers shipping the fastest in 2026 all use AI as leverage. you'll learn how — permanent productivity gain, not a one-off trick.

  • marketing and analytics, AI-native

    unify ad channels, run and analyze campaigns with AI, fold every data source — site, sales, support, CRM — into one business view. knowledge that just landed in 2026 — most senior marketing teams aren't using it yet. you will be.

[ 04 / program ]
the program

four sessions. eight hours. one finished thing

01
your working setup

foundations

the exact setup i use to start every project — claude code, the right MCPs, a workflow that doesn't fight you. by the end of the session you've shipped your first "hello world".

02
real url, yours

ship a website

every production site i've shipped since 2024 starts the same way. you'll go from blank screen to a deployed URL — edit, prompt, debug, deploy — in one session.

03
your first working agent

build an AI agent

the difference between an agent that works in a demo and one that ships. patterns we use on client projects, stripped down so you can build one yourself tonight.

04
live demo to the cohort

polish and launch

the part most people skip. fixing the hardest bugs, naming the thing, telling people about it. you'll do it together, with Arslan + peers in the room.

[ 05 / students ]
from past students

what they shipped

three people who took the course before this cohort, in their own words.

  • 01 / 03
    I came in with a figma file I'd been sitting on for eight months. I walked out of session two with it live on a real url. now when eng says 'next quarter', I build the prototype myself and show them instead.
    product designer
  • 02 / 03
    I built the thing I'd been asking developers to quote me on for two years. staff rota, stock count, supplier orders: one page, on my phone, works. session four I showed it to the room and it was already running in the bar that weekend.
    bar owner
  • 03 / 03
    I'd never opened a terminal before this. now the monthly client reports build themselves: pull the numbers, format, flag anything odd, ready for my review. what changed isn't that I can code. it's that 'can we build this?' stopped being a question I ask other people.

[ 06 / community ]
after the four sessions

you don't leave alone

the four sessions are the beginning. what happens after is what makes this stick.

  • 01 / 03

    3 months of direct access

    book a 1:1 with Arslan any time in the 90 days after the cohort. bring a stuck project, a half-finished idea, or a question you don't know how to phrase. real feedback, no gatekeeping.

  • 02 / 03

    a cohort that keeps shipping

    private channel for cohort 01 alumni. share builds, ask questions, find a co-builder. it stays active long after week four — that's the point.

  • 03 / 03

    monthly demo calls

    every month after the course: 3-4 people show what they shipped, the rest gives feedback. you stay accountable to the thing you said you'd build.

teachesall four sessions

Sixteen years in technology. I co-founded LANARS in Ukraine ten years ago and brought it to Norway seven years back. It builds software and hardware for clients, out of Oslo.

In 2025 I started ARS Capital, a small fund here in Fornebu that backs AI-native founders at pre-seed. Operator first, investor second: I still write specs, review builds, and sit with founders while the product is being decided.

What I teach in this room is what I do the rest of the week.

focusAI, under the hood

Twelve years in technology. I'm CTO at LANARS, which means I own how the software and hardware we build for clients actually gets shipped.

I work a layer below the prompt: tokens and context windows, what a model is really doing when it looks like it is reasoning, and the exact point where it stops being reliable. That layer is the difference between a tool that impresses you once and one you can hand real work to.

Most people use a fraction of what these systems can do. I'll show you the rest.
