THE WORKSHOP THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

No internet.
A room full of possibility.

Early 2025. A free, full-day voice AI workshop. There were 120 people in the basement room and 200 joining online. Then the venue Wi-Fi failed.

Aemal switched to his phone’s weak 5G connection. The same phone carried the livestream and the voice-agent call demo. Somehow, it worked. The second photo captures the relief.

“That workshop turned me from a founder into an AI educator.” Since then, the teaching has travelled, and every room has brought new questions.

A few people can
make a very big difference.

Six companies, Techstars and years of hands-on software engineering shaped Aemal’s founder journey. Today, he brings that experience into practical AI education for founders, curious learners and engineering teams.

He has taught more than 10,000 people in person across 80-plus workshops. His approach is simple: explain the decisions, build together, ask questions and learn from what happens.

Alongside the technical lessons, he shares resources on company building, pitching and funding. Solo Flight brings the teaching and the community together.

LEARN IN OUR AI WORKSHOPS

Learn to build
AI-native companies.

Understand open loops.
Learn to build closed loops.

In this workshop, learn how open and closed loops work, where AI agents fit in a company and how humans set direction. Practise turning one-off outputs into workflows that check results, learn from feedback and improve.

01 / OPEN LOOP

Prompt. Generate. Stop.

InputWorkflowOutputNo systematic feedback

An open loop produces an output without checking what happened next. You still need to judge whether it solved the original problem.

02 / CLOSED LOOP

Act. Measure. Improve.

InputAI + workflowOutcomeMeasure · learn · improve

A closed loop checks results, gathers feedback and adjusts the next action. Learn where to add tests, clear success criteria and human review before trusting an agent with more responsibility.

A TEACHING PLATFORM

Useful tools.
A human teacher.

Voice guidance and agent-based exercises support the workshop experience. Aemal chooses the curriculum, teaches the concepts and helps participants understand their decisions.

Additional learning tools are being developed. Each programme explains which tools and support are included today.

Keep learning connected.

Bring workshop preparation, exercises and learning resources into a shared space.

Teach with useful examples.

Explore existing tools and integrations when they serve the learning goal. Participants practise the skills they can apply in their own work.

THE NEXT SKILL: HARNESS ENGINEERING

Learn to build
AI agent harnesses.

Give AI a way to work.
Then use it to build your application.

A prompt starts the conversation. A harness gives an AI agent the instructions, tools, workspace and feedback it needs to keep working towards a goal. In these workshops, you learn how those pieces fit together, use a harness to build, and practise shaping one around your own workflow.

Inside an AI agent harness
Your direction“Build a sign-up flow for my app.”
AI agentPlans the next step and uses the available tools

Instructions & context

Give the agent a clear goal, project knowledge and working rules.

Tools & integrations

Connect the code, terminal and services it needs to do the work.

A working environment

Provide a workspace where it can edit, run and inspect your application.

Tasks & progress

Break the goal into steps and keep track of what is done.

Tests & feedback

Check the result, capture failures and guide the next attempt.

Permissions & review

Set boundaries and decide when the agent must ask a person.

Run the app. Check the result.Tests and your review feed into the next attempt.
Feedback returns to the agent until the checks pass, it needs your help, or a limit is reached.
01 / USE IT

Build with a harness.

Follow a guided application build. See how instructions, tools and checks turn your idea into practical steps.

02 / UNDERSTAND IT

Look under the hood.

Explore the workspace, task flow and feedback. Learn why agents get stuck and how to help them move forward.

03 / SHAPE IT

Learn to make it your own.

Practise configuring a harness for your project. Team workshops explore these choices around your engineering workflow.
