What you'll learn
- Build a portable context stack that works across all major AI tools
- Source, organise, and maintain context from documentation, conventions, and architecture so agents behave like informed teammates
- Scale context for collaborative and enterprise projects: shared rules, team conventions, and consistent standards across contributors
- Write instructions and specifications that produce predictable, high-quality results from any AI coding agent
- Turn vague prompts into precise briefs with acceptance criteria, constraints, and clear intent
- Achieve high first-pass yield – code that merges without rework – by investing upfront in clarity
- Work across the full spectrum of AI modalities – from inline completions and chat-driven edits to fully autonomous multi-step agents
- Delegate end-to-end feature work, complex refactors, and migrations to agents with confidence and control
- Run background async agents in parallel: dispatch multiple tasks to local and cloud-hosted agents
- Use AI for code review, branch management, pull requests, testing, documentation, and deployment – not just writing code
- Set up Continuous AI and agentic workflows in CI/CD pipelines: scheduled and event-driven agent tasks that run without human intervention
- Measure efficiency and efficacy with meaningful metrics, and build systems for continuous improvement across your team
- Use AI to systematically raise software quality – fewer defects, better test coverage, clearer code, up-to-date documentation
- Adopt practices that work at enterprise scale: large codebases, cross-team consistency, and organisational AI adoption
- Apply a security-first mindset: sandboxing, secrets management, and safe agent execution

What Students Are Saying
Allen Stewart
Partner Director AI Engineering · Microsoft
"Loved the course, I needed to go deep and advanced and the course really delivered!!!"
Kenny Joseph
Architect · REA Group / Cogni Craft
"Elite AI Assisted Coding is a real AI engineering course, by engineers for engineers. A very current topic, top of mind for most teams today - Issac and Eleanor break the content steadily over the 3 weeks, with a lot more adjacent content to help ease off the content-dense parts. Would definitely recommend to other teams wanting to leap forward and find a vendor-agnostic path to adopting AI eng..."
Akash Pannu
Software Engineer · LinkedIn
"Before this course I tried using AI and agentic tools in my work but with mixed success. I was able to immediately apply the lesosns from the course into my workflows to use agents more effectively The course does a great job of introducing strategies for more effectively using AI and agentic tools. The content is designed in a way that is applicable across a variety of tools and could even be ..."

Engineer · Redacted
"I found the course to be very informative. I was particularly interested in understanding the "state of the art" in terms of AI assisted coding. I feel that this course gave me a strong sense for this which helped me to validate my prior understanding as well as to get more productive. I also enjoyed the way the course was laid out in terms of use of time. There were 6 core course hours in tota..."

President · Willing Consulting
"Eleanor and Isaac did an excellent job creating and delivering this course. Their focus on the processes helps make the course timeless in a quickly evolving ecosystem of tools. They shone as instructors by listening and responding to questions (including creating short videos to address attendee needs). The class is a great springboard for applying agents and AI to solve my problems and custom..."
Chibuike Ikekwere
"This course was great! At first I was kind of lost about where to start when working with agents or llms and how to fit them into my workflow. This course helped me wrapped my mind about where to begin when I'm starting development and how far I could go with using these models. Also being exposed to spec story where it saves your chat history was an added benefit."
Bradley Smith
Instructor · Northwestern University
"This course provided coverage for a number of potential tools and highlighted the potential pros and cons of each. As the course progressed, the instructors continued to provide additional details when questions arose and always avoided getting caught up in unnecessary details. I highly recommend this course for anyone looking to use AI assisted coding!"
Joshua Patrick Kirby Earnest
Senior Lead Technologist · Booz Allen
"This course was an excellent review of the current state-of-the-art in agentic coding. It provided me with a much more structured approach to working with AI during software development. As a direct result, I feel significantly more productive and effective. It offers strong value for developers across all skill levels."
Adi Pradhan
Founder · Socratify
"This course takes you from basic in the loop coding with AI to practical knowledge of all the paradigms of agentic coding. Every session teaches you practical ways to actually build software with agents. The instructors are very responsive and the material is very relevant. Highly recommended!"
