What comes back to the team
The mindset shift for working with modern AI: what a model can and can't do, how to brief it, and how to check what comes back. Then the presentation skills: images, visuals, and short video made with AI that get a finding in front of an executive and keep it there.
AI for analysis first: plan a study and its analysis in conversation with the model, then run it in R with the model as a pair programmer, from experimental design to PCA biplot to executive summary. The last weeks turn that analysis into a Shiny app your stakeholders can open, and introduce APIs.
Students in the first cohort reported cutting a standard descriptive analysis report (ANOVA, PCA biplot, product summaries, executive narrative) from four days to under four hours. That is what students reported, not a guarantee.
Time away from work
One 90-minute live session a week, Tuesdays, 9:30-11:00 AM ET, plus optional office hours on Thursdays. Plan on 3-5 hours a week including practice. Every session is recorded and posted within 24 hours, so a travel week isn't a lost week.

What managers usually ask
- Does our data leave the company?
- No. Every exercise uses mock datasets.
- Is Aigora SOC 2 compliant?
- Aigora is SOC 2 compliant: we follow SOC 2 practices, and our infrastructure providers are SOC 2 certified. Our own independent Type II examination is in progress. The report has not yet been issued.
- Who owns what we build?
- You do. Students keep every script, prompt, and app they make.
- What do we have to buy?
- Nothing. A browser and mainstream AI tools (Gemini, Claude, Copilot) are enough. Part 2 uses free R tooling.
- How does the course handle AI risk?
- It teaches hallucination checks and a permission framework for what data can go into which tool.
From people who took it
“I would 100% recommend this course to both colleagues and clients. It successfully demystified AI and encouraged immediate application, which is essential for real learning.”
“I totally changed my mindset and started to work with AI in a completely different way”
“I've already implemented some of them with really encouraging results. I gained a lot of value just watching the prompting happen in real time.”
“I found the course very valuable. It's clear that John and his team are truly leading the way when it comes to AI. I've highlighted this to my own team as well.”
One graduate’s first build. After the course, Razi built his first AI agent: a complex workflow that runs in under a minute, for a task that used to take hours. (Razi Imam, Founder & CEO, 113 Industries)
