Most AI courses teach you prompts. This one puts you inside a real company.
For four weeks you work on StudyStream itself, on real problems our team is working on right now. You'll use the tools our engineers use, join live sessions with the team, and ship work that matters.
A real product
Your project runs against StudyStream, a study platform used by 60,000+ learners every month.
Real tools
Claude Code, data analysis and experiment design: the exact toolkit our team works with daily.
Real standards
You finish by presenting your work to our founders and engineers.
Pick a track, own a real problem
You choose one track and work on it for the full four weeks, alongside the people who own it today.
Make our content moderation smarter and fairer
Help the systems that keep 60,000+ learners safe make better calls, with fewer blind spots.
Work out why learners stay or leave
Dig into behaviour around streaks, rooms and habits, and find what actually keeps people studying.
Test and improve the AI agent that answers our users
Evaluate where it helps, where it fails, and how to make it genuinely useful.
Design experiments and analyse the results
Find what moves real numbers, and read the results honestly.
Four weeks, week by week
Structured from day one: tools first, then data, then building, then shipping.
Your AI toolkit
Set up Claude Code and the rest of your toolkit, cover data basics, and learn how we handle privacy and ethics.
Working with real data
Analyse real product data and learn to spot when AI gets it wrong.
Build
Build an automation, an evaluation suite or an experiment on your track.
Demo day
Present your finished work to our founders and engineers.
How it works
12 to 15 hours a week
Part-time by design, so it fits around studies or a job.
Live sessions with our team
Taught live by our engineers and founders. Session times are confirmed with offers and scheduled for a mix of time zones.
A private cohort space
Your cohort works together daily in a private StudyStream space, the same co-presence product our learners use.
Fully remote, open anywhere
Join from any country. You must be 18 or over.
What you walk away with
Four weeks of work you can point at, not a certificate of attendance alone.
A finished project, presented to our founders and engineers A written case study for your CV and portfolio A certificate of completion A personal reference from the founders Top performers are considered for a paid internship with our team
