Live Weekend Bootcamp · 100% Online · Zoom
No coding required — built for non-techies

Next Monday, you walk into work with an AI team.
Not an AI tab.

The live weekend bootcamp where non-technical professionals learn to manage teams of AI assistants that research, write, build, and deliver — while you focus on decisions. 14 hours. 5 working systems. No coding experience needed.

Live instruction
14 hours hands-on
2 instructors for 25 people

Illustrative examples — actual outputs depend on your data and setup.

Built for the professional who already uses AI — and wants to go 10x further

Right now, you ask AI one question at a time and copy-paste the answer. After this weekend, you'll direct a team of AI assistants that research, write, and build — while you make the decisions. That's not a small upgrade. It's a different way of working.

The shift: from asking AI questions → to managing AI teams

Why not just learn for free?

The Free Route

₹0
  • Free Claude Code tutorials on YouTube and Anthropic Academy
  • Self-paced Udemy courses for ₹499
  • Lovable / Bolt for quick website building
  • ChatGPT for one-off tasks

All solid starting points. Here's what they can't give you:

Claude for Life

₹14,999 ₹XX,XXX
  • Live instruction — ask questions, get unstuck in real-time
  • 2 instructors for 25 people (10x more personal than any course)
  • You ship real projects — a CLAUDE.md, skills library, and a live capstone
  • Cohort accountability — you finish in one weekend, not "someday"
  • Community of builders who keep learning together after the weekend
  • Proof of work — a portfolio of AI projects built in one intensive weekend
"If your AI course is still teaching copy-paste prompting,
it's not an AI course. It's a typing course."
Not what you learn. What you walk out with.

Three things you build. One resource kit you keep.

🧠

Personalized CLAUDE.md

Your AI's custom memory and instruction file — so it remembers your preferences, context, and working style across every session.

Reusable One-Click Skills

Commands you build on Sunday that your AI can invoke instantly — research sprints, report templates, content workflows. Your personal automation library.

🚀

One Shipped Capstone Project

You choose one from 10 real-world templates on Sunday and ship it to a live URL before the bootcamp ends. Not a draft — a working system.

Who this is for — and who should skip it

Great fit

  • Non-techies and non-coders — zero programming knowledge required
  • Product managers who want to 10x their research and spec-writing speed
  • Founders and operators who want to move faster without hiring
  • Marketers who want to build content systems, not write one-off posts
  • Consultants and freelancers who want to increase billable leverage
  • Anyone who wants to be the AI person their team goes to for help
Built by practitioners, not influencers

Lead Instructor

3X founder. 20+ years building products across startups and big tech — Amazon, Yahoo, Sun Microsystems, Juniper Networks. Then he left it all to do something nobody expected: founding Farmizen, a platform connecting 7,000+ organic farmers directly to families. Now back in the trenches at Mantid AI, building agentic AI to augment blue-collar workers.

Straddles the technical and non-technical world with equal ease — from adtech to agritech, engineering to go-to-market.

Brings big-tech rigour, founder scrappiness, and the patience of someone who has coached hundreds of professionals before.

Lead Instructor

3X founder. 16+ years building from zero — B2C, B2B, and the messy world of cross-border logistics. Built 91mobiles into India's largest gadget research platform, then SaaSworthy, then Intoglo. Now building an AI venture studio with a single obsession: ultra-lean teams running million-dollar businesses on the back of AI.

Went deep on AI in 2021 — the maths, the algorithms, the fundamentals — well before it was a LinkedIn trend. Since then, tried every tool, every claim, and built a sharp filter for what's useful versus what's hype.

Brings a builder's impatience for theory, a founder's bias for shipping, and a teacher's instinct for making hard things click.

One weekend. A completely different Monday.

Less than most AI bootcamps charge — and you walk out with systems, not slides.

Previous cohort was ₹14,999 (incl. GST). Next cohort pricing will be revealed to waitlist members first. Claude Pro subscription (~₹1,800/month) required and purchased separately.
Questions you're probably thinking
100% online. Sessions run live on Zoom — Saturday & Sunday, 10am–5pm IST. You join from wherever you are, laptop open, building alongside the instructors in real time. Recordings are shared with all participants as backup.
Absolutely not. This bootcamp is specifically designed for non-technical professionals. You don't need to know how to code — you need to know how to think about problems and delegate work. The Friday setup session walks you through everything technical before the weekend even starts.
That's exactly why we have the Friday evening pre-session. We walk you through terminal basics, Git setup, and Claude Code installation step by step. By Saturday morning, you'll be comfortable. And during the bootcamp, you'll have 2 instructors for just 25 people — so help is always immediate.
Especially useful. Using ChatGPT means you've been chatting with AI — a single model in a browser window. This bootcamp teaches you to manage teams of AI agents that can see your files, run commands, connect to external tools, and deploy live projects. It's the difference between using a calculator and managing a finance team.
ChatGPT is great for one-off questions. Lovable is great for quick websites. Neither teaches you to manage teams of AI agents that work across your files, connect to your tools, and deliver complete projects. This bootcamp teaches the skill layer above individual tools — so you can use ALL of them better.
Free courses teach you the basics of the tool. We teach you to build complete systems with multi-agent teams — live, with 2 instructors for 25 people, building alongside you. You'll finish 5 working systems in one weekend. Most free courses have a <10% completion rate. Ours is a weekend — you show up, you finish. The last cohort sold out in 4 days at ₹14,999 — next cohort pricing will be shared with waitlist members first.
Instead of talking to one AI in a chat window, you direct multiple specialized AI agents that work together. One researches, one analyzes, one builds, one reviews — all coordinated through Claude Code. You give a high-level instruction, and the team executes. Think of it as being a manager of an AI workforce instead of a user of an AI tool.
A laptop (Mac, Windows, or Linux) and a stable internet connection. You'll also need a Claude Pro subscription (~₹1,800/month) — purchased separately before the bootcamp. For in-course API usage, we'll set you up on OpenRouter's free tier (no payment required). We walk through all setup on Friday evening before the weekend starts.
With a 25-person cohort and 2 instructors, cohort size is intentionally small so no one gets left behind. If you're stuck, someone can help within minutes. Every session has built-in checkpoint moments. And the cohort WhatsApp/Slack channel stays active for support after the weekend too.
No refunds. Given the small cohort size, significant instructor preparation, and live intensive format, we're unable to offer refunds once a seat is reserved. If you have questions about fit before registering, reach out — we're happy to talk it through.
Yes — we provide a GST invoice on request, suitable for L&D reimbursement. Many companies have AI upskilling budgets that cover exactly this. You can use this template to request reimbursement from your manager or HR:

Subject: L&D Reimbursement — AI Bootcamp

Hi [Name],

I'd like to request reimbursement for a weekend AI training program — Claude for Life by The Crux (thecrux.ai).

Program: Claude for Life Weekend Bootcamp
Format: Live, instructor-led (Saturday & Sunday, 10am–1pm)
Fee: Shared on registration (inclusive of GST)
Output: 5 working AI systems I'll use at work from Monday

GST invoice available on request. Happy to share more details.

Thanks,
[Your Name]
Yes — previous cohort pricing (₹14,999) was inclusive of GST. Next cohort pricing will also be all-inclusive. A GST invoice can be provided on request for company reimbursement or tax purposes.
The bootcamp ends Sunday. The community doesn't.

Every cohort becomes a class. Every class joins the growing Crux alumni network — a small, curated group of professionals who think about AI the same way you will after this weekend.

You'll join a private WhatsApp community where alumni share what they built, ask for help on their next project, and stay sharp as AI evolves — because it will, fast.
