Before
You are the most advanced person on AI in your company, and the loneliest.
After
Nine peers who remember your context from last time.
AI Program · expert circle · 6 online + 1 in person
AI Masters
Ten people who ship AI for a living, meeting every second week to show what worked, what they abandoned, and what they are betting on next. No slides, no vendors, no beginners.
- We move you to practice. No theory talks.
- We make AI work for you, and save you time.
At expert level the scarce thing is the room: people who understand what you are talking about and are not your reports. This circle is that room, with a host, a fixed run, and a day in Prague at the end.

Not for
- Anyone still deciding whether to adopt AI. Take AI Augmented or AI Managers first.
- Vendors and sales roles. Applications are read by Marian; the room stays clean.
- People who want a course. There is no curriculum here.
Who it is for
- AI staff engineers and AI engineering managers running agentic work across teams, in production.
- Heads of AI, Chiefs of AI, and founders of AI-first companies who are the reference point in their org and want peers who are not their reports.
- Developers turned AI evangelists who moved into marketing, sales or product and now translate between both worlds.
The program
6 online sessions every second Wednesday, then a day in Prague.
Who is in the room, and what each of us is running.
Each member shows their current setup and the one thing they are stuck on. You leave knowing whose brain to borrow for what.
Shipped, abandoned, next.
Two or three members bring what they shipped or killed since last time. The group pulls it apart. The host keeps it honest and on time.
Shipped, abandoned, next.
Same format, next members. Over sessions 2 to 5 each member gets one turn on the table.
Shipped, abandoned, next.
Same format. By now the group knows each other’s stacks, and the questions get sharper.
Shipped, abandoned, next.
Last review round. What changed in your setup since session 1.
The bets.
Each member states one bet for the next twelve months and defends it. You leave with ten bets and the reasons behind them. Session 7 is the day in Prague, February 2027, date agreed with the cohort.

- Six sessions of shipped-and-abandoned reviews: what each member built, what it cost, what it did to their team.

Faculty
Our Lecturing Masterminds
Our team is unique. We are not consultants selling academic theories or empty certificates. They have built multiple unicorn companies and helped organizations scale from startups to scale-ups to established corporates.
What nobody else offers
The parts a competitor cannot copy in a quarter.
01
A price and an application that keep the room expert.
Open circles fill with the curious. This one fills with people accountable for AI in their company.
02
One host for the whole run.
Marian runs each session, with 3,611 mentoring sessions with engineering leaders since 2019 behind him.
03
The rule is that you bring the failure too.
Shipped and abandoned, with the numbers.
04
It ends in a room.
Six sessions online, then a day in Prague with the same ten people.
“Ten people who understand what you are talking about.”
Proof, honestly labeled
What we can stand behind today.
- The ELC AI Masters circle, one of five circles inside a 3,300+ member community.
- Hosted by the founder of Engineering Leaders, 3,611 mentoring sessions with leaders in 17+ countries.
This is the first paid, fixed run of AI Masters. The mentoring numbers are Marian’s track record, not this cohort’s. First-cohort reviews replace this section when they land.
Questions
The things buyers actually ask.
How do I know I qualify?
You run AI work in production, or you are the person your company points to when AI comes up. Apply with two lines about what you run; Marian replies within a day.
Is this the free AI Masters circle?
It is the same circle. From October it runs as a fixed cohort with a host, ten seats, an application and a price; the open format ends.
Two of us from one company want to join.
One per company, so the conversation stays open. The second person goes on the list for the next run.
Are the sessions recorded?
No. What is said in the circle stays there. If you miss one, you catch up with Marian in the following session.
What if fewer than six people are accepted?
We tell you on 9 October and refund in full.
