Training

Four Saturdays to level up. The Ayiti AI training is free, online, live, and recorded. It is mandatory for the thirty selected teams and open to the whole community as auditors. Teams that prepare seriously are the teams that ship, in 2025, that was the single clearest lesson.

By November 27, nobody should be opening a documentation page for the first time. You will have built and deployed an agent, a RAG system, something that runs offline, and something that speaks Kreyòl, and you will have a project plan a mentor has already torn apart once.

4 Saturdays

Focused 4–5 hour live sessions, October 31 to November 21

Live on Zoom

Interactive classes, recordings the same evening, and continuous support on Discord and WhatsApp

Build Every Week

A challenge each week, office hours midweek, and cloud and API credits distributed at the first session

What You'll Be Able to Do

Design and deploy an agent that calls tools, keeps memory, and handles failure

Build a RAG system on your own data and put it in production

Run a model on a phone or a Raspberry Pi with no network

Integrate Kreyòl speech recognition and synthesis into a product

Connect WhatsApp, SMS, and MonCash to an agent

Scope a 48-hour project and deliver a five-minute demo that convinces

Five-Saturday Program
