Don't add to the pile.
The application is the first exercise: spec a small build with any agent, submit the result — and your own evaluation of it. No fee to apply. One resubmission included.
How admissions works
The application has three parts:
- A link to something you built with an AI agent. A deployed URL, a repo, or a recording. It doesn’t need to be good — it needs to be real.
- Your own evaluation of it. What would you NOT ship here, and why? This is the exercise. The admissions agent scores your judgment against the rubric; a human makes the final call.
- Your email. So we can reply.
The admissions agent scores spec quality and evaluation quality — not the code itself. A well-evaluated bad build beats a well-built badly-evaluated one every time.
Timeline: Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Expect a reply within 48 hours. Founding cohort starts when all 18 seats are filled — estimated Q3 MMXXVI.
Pricing
No fee to apply. Tuition is announced to accepted applicants. The business plan is public; the tuition is on the enroll page for accepted cohort members.
Self-hosted option: Run the lab yourself on your own metal. A reduced-tuition track for graduates who self-host the school stack is available — see the manifesto for the sovereignty commitment.
