This isn’t another online course.
It’s your apprenticeship as an AI-first builder.
Rychee develops three capabilities every future founder needs — and proves you’re building them, with artifacts you can show.
AI-first product management. Shipping discipline. Distribution.
Here’s exactly what you’ll learn and the proof you’ll produce.
AI-First Product Management
Most people use AI to generate text and images. You'll learn to manage AI agents to build real software products.
What You’ll Learn
Specifying What to Build
You learn to convert a problem into a written spec with clear acceptance criteria — precise enough for AI agents to execute. "Add a pricing page" becomes "Add a Stripe-integrated pricing page with a 14-day no-card trial, three tiers, and conversion tracking."
Constraining the Scope
You learn to define boundaries, non-goals, and safety rules. Every AI task gets scope limits. This prevents hallucination spirals, scope creep, and the #1 cause of failed AI projects: ambiguity.
Directing AI Agents
AI presents options. You read the tradeoffs, consider the consequences, and decide which fits your product. You direct. You evaluate. You decide. AI executes.
Verification Discipline
The meta-skill that separates builders from dreamers. You learn to test AI output before shipping — checking behavior, edge cases, security, and fitness for purpose. This is your moat.
The Meta-Learning Loop
Specify → Constrain → Build with AI → Verify → Ship. This is the core workflow of every AI-powered profession. You'll practice it hundreds of times.
Proof You’ll Produce
Why This Matters
By 2028, managing AI agents will be the most valuable non-engineering skill in tech. You won't just use AI. You'll know how to direct it.
Shipping Discipline
The most underrated skill in the world: putting something into production before it's perfect and making it better based on what happens next.
What You’ll Learn
Done Beats Perfect
Rychee pushes you to deploy your first prototype in Module 1. Not because v1 is great. Because shipping is the teacher.
Real Infrastructure, Real Ownership
You deploy on AWS — real servers, real domains, real uptime. Not someone else's platform. Not a proprietary builder. Code you own, infrastructure you control.
Reliability Basics
Testing mindset. Observability. Error handling. Monitoring. The difference between "it works on my machine" and "it works for my customers."
Iteration Over Perfection
v1 → feedback → v2 → more data → v3. Each version is better because it's informed by real users.
The Shipping Checklist
A repeatable pre-deployment routine that catches problems before your users do. Verification discipline, operationalized.
Proof You’ll Produce
Why This Matters
Reid Hoffman said "If you're not embarrassed by v1, you launched too late." Rychee students learn this in Week 1. Most aspiring founders still haven't launched v1 after a year.
Distribution & Monetization
Building without selling is a hobby. This course treats distribution as non-negotiable — from Week 3.
What You’ll Learn
Positioning & Landing Pages
Who is this for? What pain does it solve? Why should they care? You learn to write positioning statements and landing pages that convert — not with hype, but with clarity and proof.
Short-Form Content Engine
Hook → Proof → Payoff. The repeatable pipeline for attention. 14 posts in 7 days. AI-assisted scripting with ethical guardrails. You learn to create content consistently, not perfectly.
Sales Motions for Solo Founders
Discovery calls. Objection handling. Pricing experiments. Concierge MVP: manual + automated delivery hybrid. You learn to close your first paying customer — not hypothetically.
Metrics That Matter
Acquisition → Activation → Retention → Revenue. You learn to track what matters and ignore vanity metrics. Data-driven decisions, not gut feelings.
Offer Design
One-time vs recurring. Free trial vs freemium. Promise, scope, and proof. You learn to design offers that make saying "yes" feel obvious.
Proof You’ll Produce
Why This Matters
The #1 reason solo founders fail isn't the product. It's distribution. Rychee bakes distribution into the curriculum from Week 3. By graduation, selling is a habit — not an afterthought.
The 30-second pitch
(for when someone asks “what course are you taking?”)
“It’s a course where you learn to manage AI agents to build real software — you never write code, but you end up with full-code products deployed on AWS. It teaches you to ship, sell, and iterate. Think of it as an AI-first product manager bootcamp for entrepreneurs. It’s multilingual, self-paced, and I shipped my first product in 4 weeks.”
