Why most PMs never escape "Tutorial Hell"
You've watched the YouTube videos. You've played with ChatGPT. But you're still not building software. Why?
The "Technical Gap" is Killing Your Ideas
You have the vision. You know exactly what users need. You can design the feature, write the specs, and even sell the dream.
But you can't build it.
So you wait. You wait for engineering resources. You wait for simple text changes. You wait for "sprint capacity.""I could have built this myself in a weekend if I just knew how to code."
This dependency is the single biggest bottleneck in your career. It turns "builders" into "project managers" who spend more time updating Jira tickets than shipping value.
Vibe Coding changes the math. It gives you the power to ship your own ideas, prototype instantly, and speak the same language as your engineers.
You Don't Build Muscle by Reading
Most courses give you one frail demo. We give you 18 reps. You'll build small, throwaway tools to break things fast, so your 19th build is bulletproof.
The "Hello World" Trap
It's easy to demo a To-Do list. It's hard to build a secure, database-backed app with user auth. 99% of courses stop at the easy part.
Missing Mental Models
Prompting isn't engineering. You need to understand how LLMs actually think—context windows, system instructions, and temperature.
18 Practice Reps + 1 Championship Game
In this 1-week mastery, we'll run through 18 fast, guided "drills" together (15-30 mins each). Once you've mastered the moves, you'll build 1 independent capstone to launch to the world. On-demand with office hours support.
Not Every Build Needs to Ship
"Vibe Coding" isn't just for founders. It's a superpower for Product Managers who want to communicate better, think clearer, and move faster.
Accelerate XFN Alignment
Stop writing endless PRDs. Build a working prototype in 30 mins to show your designer and eng lead exactly what you mean.
Demonstrate Product Vision
Don't just talk about the future—build it. Show leadership a tangible version of your roadmap vNext.
The 'Throwaway' Mindset
Code to learn. Build a feature, test the vibe, and delete it. You don't need to ship everything to get massive value.
From "I have an idea" to
URL in seconds.
The gap just shrank to zero. In one week, you will master the 5 tools that allow PMs to build full-stack applications without touching a single line of syntax.

Loved by Builders
Designers, PMs, and Engineers are shipping real products after this course.
Excited to share about our capstone project from Stanford's Generative AI Product Management course, where we built a prototype for an Accounts Payable (AP) Workflow Automation & Intelligence Platform... Special mention to Vikash for bringing us all together, without whom this would never see the light of the day. This experience reinforced my passion for AI-driven enterprise automation.
Vikash's course helped me in landing my first Gen AI and a high visibility project at my company. This course enabled me to not only start thinking about ways LLM applications could be applied to my customers' pain points but also asking the right questions to my engineering and business...
I recently had the privilege of taking this online Generative AI course offered by Vikash, and I cannot express how valuable the experience was. Vikash's course takes you on a transformative journey, starting from a layman's understanding of Generative AI and guiding you all the way to a level where you can...
Course contents were great and a lot of industry experience was shared.Thanks
This course covered a wide range of topics on AI/Gen AI/ML. I learnt a lot from this course. One unique value proposition of this course is that it helps in productizing the AI technology. I would recommend this course to other product managers.
Vikash Rungta's course, "Transform Your Product Strategy with Generative AI," proved to be a transformative experience for me. It helped me understand the important frameworks and principles of Generative AI and, more importantly, how to use them in everyday product decisions. Vikash's focus on ensuring a...
This was a fantastic intro course in Generative AI. For someone like me who had very little knowledge of the space, the pace of this course was perfect. Vikash did a great job of introducing the basics and then building on them. Every session was super engaging. Vikash has impressive breadth and depth...
Thrilled to share our Capstone Project from the Generative AI for Product Managers course at Stanford Continuing Studies! It’s been an incredible journey applying generative AI techniques to solve real-world problems and collaborating on every aspect of the product lifecycle. Big thanks to the Stanford Continuing Studies program for offering such an innovative course!
Good conceptual course for anyone looking to gain base knowledge on Gen AI. Course journey takes from ML concepts into its evolution towards Gen AI.
Excellent course by Vikash. Each session was a rich and full of useful details. I learnt a lot, highly recommend. Thanks
I'd like to structure the review based on these four categories: (1) Course Content: Beginner and advanced friendly, it laid a solid foundation due to its broad depth for each type of student. Hands-on labs during the session were super-hit; it gave me a taste of what it takes to do some basic work. (2)Deliver...
Diving into this course was a revelation! It not only demystified GenAI but also showcased its transformative potential in product development. Through hands-on projects and deep insights, I grasped the art of weaving GenAI into product strategies. The emphasis on real-world applications and data privacy...
Only course which made me understand AI use cases properly and how to start an AI project which is really beneficial and was completely a new content without copy paste from anywhere. Teaching methodology was so good that you can understand each concepts easily and and how to use them with...
Great content on GenAI fundamentals.
