Stop building AI wrappers.
Master Production AI in 4 Weeks.
A 4-week, hands-on sprint for Technical PMs and Software Engineers. Learn enterprise AI patterns, build your custom application, and deploy to production.
Next cohort starts July 2026. Strictly limited to 20 builders.
Only 7 spots remainingTrusted by Technical Leaders
Built for Technical Professionals, Not Absolute Beginners.
You already understand how web apps work. You don't need another "Hello World" tutorial. You need a proven, production-grade architecture to build meaningful AI products. We skip the basics and dive straight into advanced AI engineering.
Pre-requisite
You are a Technical PM, Software Engineer, or technical founder.
The Goal
You want to lead AI initiatives and build complex, valuable AI applications.
The Method
We focus entirely on AI orchestration, state management, and deploying real infrastructure using a modern stack (Next.js, LangChain / LangGraph, Neon Postgres with pgvector).
Your Unfair Advantage: The Starter Kit
We believe you should spend your time building AI logic, not wrestling with boilerplate. When you enroll, you get immediate, lifetime access to our proprietary codebase—the exact production-grade foundation I use to ship apps every 30 days.
Next.js 14 App Router
A pre-configured, production-ready frontend and backend.
LangChain / LangGraph
Integrated for best-in-class agent orchestration, streaming, and AI state management.
Neon Postgres
Pre-built helpers for seamless connection to your serverless Neon Postgres database.
pgvector Ready
Your database is already enabled with vector extensions for immediate RAG development.
User Authentication
Secure, pre-built login, signup, and session management using Neon Auth.
Shadcn/UI Components
A full suite of beautiful, accessible UI components ready to be used.
Payments Ready
Pre-configured Dodo Payments integration to monetize your app.
Email Integration
Ready-to-use Resend integration for transactional emails.
Your Path from Engineer to AI Engineer
The program is a rigorous but manageable sprint. Expect to commit 1–2 hours on weekdays and 3–4 hours on weekends.
The Async Pre-Flight
Consume the AI Engineering Vault videos and get our proprietary Starter Kit running on your machine.
Architecture & UI Scaffolding
Lock in your project scope based on one of our blueprints. Configure your Neon Postgres database and build the React UI shell for your dashboard.
The Core AI Engine
The deep technical week. We wire up LangChain / LangGraph agents, configure your RAG embeddings, or set up your LLM tool-calling schemas.
UX & State Management
This is where the magic happens. We connect the AI logic to the frontend, building human-in-the-loop review panels, streaming markdown, and interactive UI states.
Polish & Production
Handle edge cases, deploy to Vercel, and present your live, full-stack application at our official Demo Day.
Bring Your Idea. We Provide the Architecture.
Don't build from scratch. Bring your specific idea, and we will help you map it to one of these three proven AI architectures. Each blueprint comes with beginner-friendly and advanced project ideas.
The "Smart Data Extractor" (AI to Database)
The Pattern: Stop writing complex Regex. Use AI to read messy, unstructured text (like emails or PDFs) and turn it into clean, perfectly formatted JSON data saved directly to your database.
Example Projects
- •(Simple)The Receipt Tracker: Upload an image of a receipt, and the AI extracts the merchant name, date, and total, saving it to a database.
- •(Simple)The Feedback Tagger: Reads incoming customer support emails and automatically tags them (Bug, Feature Request, Billing).
- •(Advanced)The AI Resume Screener: Reads applicant PDFs, extracts their top 5 skills, scores them against a job description, and flags them in a dashboard for human review.
The "Private Knowledge Bot" (RAG)
The Pattern: Chat with your own data. Upload private documents to your database and build an AI that answers user questions based only on those files—preventing hallucinations.
Example Projects
- •(Simple)The HR Handbook Bot: Upload your company's PDF manual so employees can ask "What is our remote work policy?" and get an instant answer.
- •(Simple)The YouTube Searcher: A bot that ingests video transcripts so users can ask questions and find out exactly what was said in a 2-hour podcast.
- •(Advanced)The Legal Contract Analyzer: Upload complex 50-page vendor agreements. The AI answers specific questions (e.g., "What are the termination terms?") and provides clickable citations that pull up the exact page and paragraph it referenced.
The "AI Action Agent" (Tool Use)
The Pattern: Give your AI "hands." Instead of just chatting, teach the AI to trigger real-world actions like fetching live API data, searching the web, or writing to a spreadsheet.
Example Projects
- •(Simple)The Live Crypto/Stock Bot: An AI that understands financial questions, triggers an external API to fetch real-time prices, and explains the market to the user.
- •(Simple)The GitHub Issue Drafter: You describe a bug to the AI, and it uses the GitHub API to automatically format and open a ticket in your repository.
- •(Advanced)The Competitor Research Agent: You type a competitor's name. The AI searches Google, scrapes the top 3 websites, synthesizes the data, and generates a formatted SWOT analysis report.
More Than a Program—It's Your Inner Circle
The sprint ends in 4 weeks, but your journey doesn't. You're being accepted into a private, vetted community of ambitious builders who are shaping the future of AI. Our private Discord is the heart of it all.

From the Trenches, Not the Sidelines
I'm the founder of MVP Launchpad OS. For 25 years, I've been a software engineer, architect, and tech lead. I've built enterprise systems for millions of users, navigated multiple tech bubbles, and lived through the entire evolution from monoliths to microservices to today's AI-native world.
I'm still a full-time engineering leader at a major firm, which is why I run this program pseudonymously. But it means that what you learn here isn't theory from a retired consultant; it's the exact, battle-tested stack and architectural patterns I use every single day to ship production AI products.
I created this incubator for one reason: I see brilliant technical PMs and engineers getting paralyzed by AI hype and bloated frameworks. My mission is to cut through the noise and give you the two things you actually need: a production-grade codebase, and the architectural mentorship to build something meaningful with it. In our sessions, I'm not a lecturer; I'm your fractional CTO.
Proof of Work: Recent Ships
From grapine.ai — I don't just teach this architecture; I live in it. Here are four recent AI products and open-source tools I've shipped using the exact Next.js, LangChain / LangGraph, and Neon Postgres stack you will master in the incubator.
What it does: A role-based prompt engineering simulator that turns AI prompting into a measurable, job-ready skill for enterprise teams.
The Architecture: Built using an advanced AI-on-AI evaluation pipeline. It utilizes structured JSON outputs to dynamically score user prompts against a strict grading rubric, managing complex, multi-turn conversational state in Postgres.
What it does: An autonomous competitive intelligence engine that tracks market movements, feature releases, and rival positioning in real-time.
The Architecture: A textbook implementation of the Multi-Step Autonomous Agent blueprint. It uses LLM Function Calling and tool-use schemas to orchestrate live web scraping, data synthesis, and scheduled cron jobs.
What it does: A smart context-compression library for agentic workflows. It drastically reduces token costs by removing stale tool outputs and resolved reasoning before the next LLM call.
The Architecture: Deep LLM memory management. Demonstrates how to handle context windows and token reduction at the edge—a critical skill for scaling production AI without bankrupting your API budget.
Agent-Glass
What it does: A Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) observability proxy for LLMs on your local machine. Available soon on PyPI and npm.
The Architecture: Intercepts network payloads to log Time-To-First-Token (TTFT), inspect hidden system prompts (from Claude/Codex), and debug agentic requests in real-time.
Open-sourced to the community. Proves my commitment to deep, system-level engineering rigor—the exact rigor you get inside the MVP OS Starter Kit.
