01 — The Identity

This is for you if

Be the few.

+

You want to build a real AI product — not follow tutorials or collect certificates

+

You learn by doing — every two weeks, you ship something that works

+

You want results, not promises — a live deployed system is your portfolio

+

Your project could become a startup — the best ones get supported beyond the program

Millions will learn to prompt AI. Few will build with it.

Build.AI is a 12-week builder program where you ship a real AI product. Deployed live, with real logic, real data, and real users. Not a course. A commitment.

02 — What You'll Build

Real AI systems. Deployed and running.

Every builder ships a working AI product. These are the kinds of systems you will create.

01Voice + Agent

Voice AI Assistant

Real-time conversational AI with speech models, orchestration, and retrieval.

02Autonomous

Research Agent

Autonomous system that retrieves, reasons, and synthesizes complex research.

03Integration

Workflow Engine

AI layer integrating tools, APIs, and data pipelines. Automates operational work.

04Retrieval

Knowledge System

Multimodal retrieval combining text, audio, and documents into one searchable interface.

The best projects don't end at Demo Day. They become startups.

03 — Who Teaches This

Engineers from the companies building the future.

Mentors come from the teams actually shipping AI at scale. Not academics. Practitioners.

Google
Meta
NVIDIA
Microsoft
Amazon
Apple
OpenAI
Anthropic
Salesforce
Uber

Mentors are independent professionals. Company names represent their background, not institutional endorsement.

At Demo Day, every builder presents a live, deployed AI system to companies, mentors, and the Blink community. No slides. No pitch decks. Just working products.

The strongest products get support to become real startups through our Product Launches arm.
