There is a moment that happens when you watch someone build with AI in real time.

Not a demo. Not a recorded walkthrough. A live session where you see every decision, every prompt, every step. Where a problem that would have taken a team weeks gets solved in minutes. Where the ceiling you thought existed just is not there.

That moment changes how you think about what is possible. And once you see it, you cannot unsee it.

Most professionals are experimenting with AI casually. A smaller group is building systems around it. The gap between those two groups will compound quickly. This is not about hype. It is about fluency.

The Advanced AI Productivity Bootcamp is where you close that gap.

The Problem With How Most People Are Using AI

Open any AI tool. Type a prompt. Get an answer. Close the tab.

That is how most people use AI. And it helps, a little. But it is nowhere near what is actually possible.

The professionals who are genuinely 10X-ing their productivity are not using AI as a search engine. They are setting up systems. They have a personal AI assistant that handles research, writing, and workflow automation around the clock. They are building custom apps without writing a single line of code. They have a repeatable process for using AI to tackle any project, at work or on the side.

The difference is not intelligence. It is not access. It is knowing how to set things up the right way and having someone show you exactly how to do it.

That is what this bootcamp is.

What the Advanced AI Productivity Bootcamp Actually Is

The Advanced AI Productivity Bootcamp is a four session, hands-on experience led by Adeo Ressi, who has personally launched 14 venture capital funds, founded 11 startups, and had nearly $2 billion in exits before the age of 30. He is currently CEO of Decile Group and Chairman of Founder Institute, a pre-seed accelerator with chapters in over 250 cities and more than 8,900 portfolio companies.

This is not a lecture where you sit back and take notes. It is a live experience where you watch someone actually build with AI, see the workflow from start to finish, and walk away knowing exactly how to apply it to your own work.

In four sessions, here is what you will do.

Session 1: Overview of AI Tools to 10X Your Productivity (May 12, 2026) You get a clear map of the AI tool landscape, understand what actually matters, and identify the highest-impact areas to apply AI in your daily workflow. You will leave this session knowing exactly where to focus.

Session 2: Set Up Your AI to Be Your 24/7 Assistant (May 14, 2026) This is the session most people wish they had taken months ago. You set up and configure your personal AI assistant using the latest agentic tools, including OpenClaw and Hermes. You build your first automations for research, writing, and task management. You learn how to prompt and direct your AI assistant for maximum output.

Session 3: AMA Session (May 19, 2026) Bring your real questions. Get real time answers and personalized guidance from Adeo and the team. Troubleshoot your setup, optimize your workflows, and explore advanced use cases based on your specific goals.

Session 4: Build Powerful Apps Without Writing Any Code (May 21, 2026) Using Replit, you go from idea to working app in one session. No coding experience required. You will translate your idea into a prompt that generates a working app, customize it in real time, and deploy it so it is live and shareable. You will leave this session with something you actually built.

Who This Is For

The Advanced AI Productivity Bootcamp was built for three kinds of people.

Professionals who want to 10X their productivity but do not know where to start. You have heard about AI, you have tried a few tools, but you have not been able to turn any of it into a real system that saves you time every week. This bootcamp gives you that system.

Anyone who wants to use AI to supercharge their work or build a side project. You have an idea. You want to move on it. But you do not have a technical background and you do not know how to build. By the end of session four, you will.

Solo founders looking for a 24/7 AI assistant to help them move faster without hiring a team. You are doing everything yourself and you need leverage. AI can give you that, but only if you know how to set it up the right way.

You do not need a technical background. You do not need prior AI experience. You just need to show up.

What You Will Walk Away With

By the end of the four sessions, you will have a personal AI assistant configured and running, automating the research, writing, and workflow tasks that eat up your time every week. You will have built a functional app using Replit without writing a single line of code. You will have a repeatable system for using AI to tackle any project, whether at work, for a side project, or as part of building a startup.

Past participants describe it as gaining clarity, momentum, and a real foundation to move faster. One participant who built Dora called it an incredibly valuable and structured experience. Another noted that the AI coding workflows made it possible to prototype fast with limited time and budget.

The Gap Is Real and It Is Growing

AI is not the future. It is the present. And the gap between professionals who have built real systems around it and those who are still experimenting casually will only grow from here.

This bootcamp is four sessions. Ten days. Less than two hours per session. By the end of it, you will have built things you did not think were possible without a technical background, and you will have a system that saves you real time every single week.

Whether you are a founder trying to move faster, a professional looking to automate what is slowing you down, or someone who wants to understand what AI can actually do when you stop overthinking it, this is the session you need to be in.
