Over six weeks, build a way to give AI useful work, check the result and get the job done. - Work on a task you need to finish. - Learn how to check AI's work. Make AI Do What You Need is AI1 of AI², Builders for Builders: six live online sessions in Czech for engineering managers and senior engineers who want AI to finish real work. Bring work you already need to do. Use what you learn between sessions, then get direct feedback on what worked and what did not. 6 Monday sessions, 09:00–12:00, 9 Nov – 14 Dec 2026. Online in Czech.Led by Petr Glaser. Cohort capped at 12, runs from 6. Closes when full.

That is AI2: Spread the AI, the next level. - Engineers who already run agents in production and want peers, not lessons. That is AI Masters. - Anyone looking for a prompting cheat sheet. You build things and run them in each session. Who it is for - Engineering managers and team leads whose teams already use AI. Learn by doing so you can review the work and lead it. - Engineering directors who need to understand how the work gets done, even if they no longer write code every day. - Senior and Staff engineers who use AI often but still spend too long retrying prompts and checking the output. ## Get the whole job done with AI. 1. Grill the task 2. Map the code 3. Design and split 4. Run agents 5. Review and test 6. Hand it over 7. Save as skills AI can produce a first draft in minutes. Review, tests and handoff still take time. You will work through the whole job on your own tasks, then bring the results back each week. The program ## Six sessions on real work 1. Monday, 9 November 2026 ### Grill the task before AI touches it. Bring a vague task from your own work. Before any code, the agent asks about missing information, risks, limits and what done means, and you mark the decisions only a person can make. You leave with a short brief, the open questions and your first checkpoints. 2. Monday, 16 November 2026 ### Map unfamiliar code or a PR before you change it. Point the agent at a codebase or PR you barely know. Trace the entry points, calls, dependencies, tests and what a change would affect, and keep what the code proves apart from what the agent guesses. You leave with a short map of the affected part and context you have checked. 3. Monday, 23 November 2026 ### Design the change and split it into safe tasks. Compare options and cut the one you pick into slices you can verify. Draw a DAG, a map of what depends on what, and turn each slice into a sub-issue with inputs, outputs, boundaries and a stop condition. You leave with a plan and a first queue of tasks you can safely hand to agents. 4. Monday, 30 November 2026 ### Run agents on a bounded job and fix what breaks. Give an agent one task you can check, and run agents in parallel only when the work is independent. Read the output as it comes, deal with failures and pick the model and cost that fit each kind of task. You leave with your first shipped change and a log of what you decided and what went wrong. 5. Monday, 7 December 2026 ### Prove the result holds. Have an agent review the change from a different angle than the agent that built it, and cover the critical properties with tests, types or other deterministic checks. Then see the change through debugging, review, testing and handoff until it is done. You leave with checks tied to your risks and a change you can defend. 6. Monday, 14 December 2026 ### Turn what worked into your own system. After every session you capture one step that worked as a small skill. Now you test each one on new input, cut it down and combine the set into one personal workflow, then run it on a second real task. You leave with a set of reusable skills and two real tasks where you used them. ![Engineering leaders in conversation during a workshop break](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/academy/_astro/workshop-16.eonU-KWG_m8wQ6.webp) ## What changes after six weeks Before You start in a blank chat and keep adding context after AI gets the task wrong. After You give AI the goal, context and limits before it starts. Before Your weekly report or incident summary starts from scratch every time. After You reuse a skill you built for that task. Before AI gives you a plausible answer, but you still have to check every part of it. After You know which parts need your judgment and which checks you can automate. Before The first draft is fast. Review, tests and handoff still hold the work up. After You plan for those steps and keep the context the next person needs. ## What you can do by the end - Turn a vague task into a clear brief before AI writes anything. - Find your way in unfamiliar code or a PR and check what the agent claims. - Split a change into small tasks and run agents on them with a clear stop condition. - Prove the result with review and checks before it reaches your team or customer. - Reuse your own skills on a second task without starting over. ![A manager reviewing AI-generated output on screen during a workshop](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/academy/_astro/meetup-20.CZ-hrmfx_3bdmh.webp) ![The energy of a packed Engineering Leaders workshop](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/academy/_astro/2025-10-30-42.DEobsdWV_1b62RT.webp) ![Close-up of engineering leaders working together at a session](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/academy/_astro/workshop-12.CX_9FrA6_Z1myGEk.webp) ![A large audience of engineering leaders at an ELC event](https://www.engineeringleaders.io/academy/_astro/DSC_7473.fe-PVLAe_ZluYeD.webp) Format ## Format and price. - Six Mondays, 09:00–12:00 Prague time, from 9 November to 14 December 2026.

Bring a task you need to finish. Petr helps you apply the method to it. 02 ### Use it the same week. Try each step at work before the next session. Bring back the result and get feedback. 03 ### Learn to check the output. Build reviews and checks around the mistakes that matter in your work. 04 ### Learn alongside other leaders and engineers. The group is small enough to discuss real work, not only watch a demo. > “Review and testing decide whether faster coding saves you any time.” Proof ## Evidence from earlier Academy courses - This course is part of the Engineering Leaders community, with 3,500+ members across Prague, Brno, Bratislava and Krakow. - Companies that trained their managers with us: Rohlík, Košík, Mews, Kiwi.com, Česká spořitelna, Trezor, and Apify. - 9.3/10 average from 21 participant reviews across the Academy programs this one grew out of. This is the first AI1 cohort. The ratings and company logos come from earlier Academy programs, not this course. Questions ## Questions about AI1 Do I need to be technical? You do not need to code. Some exercises use a terminal, and Petr will walk you through them. Which tools do we use? We use Claude for shared exercises. Bring the AI tools you already use; before session 1 we confirm what fits and what access you need. What happens if I miss a Monday? You get the recording and can catch up before the next session. What if the cohort does not fill? It runs from 6 people. We decide on 2 November and refund you in full if it does not run. Can my company pay for the seat? Yes. Enter your company details at checkout and Stripe issues the invoice. Your next step ## Ready to bring AI to the rest of the team? Six online sessions in Czech for managers who own AI adoption across teams: adoption map, roles and tooling.
