Hey! Welcome 👋
We're AI Study Camp and we help people learn AI well.
What does well mean?
#1 There's an epidemic of fake learning
Duolingo, TikTok, Blinkist. Udemy and other MOOCs with bite-sized, nano-learning BS. YouTube full of videos like "Learn AI in 10 minutes" getting millions of views. Etc.
It's all entertainment cleverly disguised as education. Edutainment. Real learning is hard. It's uncomfortable - like working out at the gym. If it feels fun and easy, you probably aren't learning anything. Like Andrej Karpathy writes, it shouldn't be not fun either, but the primary feeling should be that of effort.
#2 We think AI is important, and we want to help people learn it well
That's why we create AI courses that are:
- thoughtfully designed; each course takes 2-3 months to make
- 5+ weeks long and require 1-2h of work per day; with lots of practice, homework, assignments, projects
- led by experienced instructors who love teaching, know ins and outs of the domain, and work closely with each student via 1-1s, office hours, etc.
- run in small study groups of 7-10 motivated students of similar backgrounds, knowledge lvls, and goals - this unlocks social learning, accountability, connection
- joined by weekly expert speakers who bring in knowledge & wisdom "from the trenches"
- built in accordance with SOTA learning science; heavily using active recall, socratic questioning, and other learning tools
We don't make learning AI easy because easy doesn't work in learning. We make it effortful but doable - with the help of instructors, speakers, small groups, structured curriculum, and clever course design techniques.

#3 We've ran 13 cohorts and taught ~200 people so far
We've been iterating on our product for 3 years and only started scaling in late 2025.
Our students so far have mostly been YC founders, as well as PMs & engineers from companies like Google, Meta, Accenture, Tinder, and VMWare.
Here's what some of them say:
