A 3-hour working session for founders and engineers building AI-first products. We open two real agentic codebases on screen and read them together — architecture, tool contracts, permission models, sub-agent orchestration — and walk out with a scaffold to build our own.
Everyone is shipping "agents." Very few builders have actually read how a production-grade agentic system is wired — the tool loop, the permission model, how MCP servers get negotiated, how plan mode differs from execution mode, how sub-agents are spawned.
That gap is where most AI-first products get stuck: prototypes that look magical but break the moment you ask them to do real, multi-step, stateful work.
The fastest way to learn how to build serious agentic systems is to read the serious ones that already exist — and then build.
Arrive, grab a cup of chai, meet the room. No icebreakers, no forced intros — just 30 minutes to put faces to handles before we dive into the code.
Two hours on Claude Code CLI and pi-mono, side by side. Architecture, tool contracts, permission models, streaming, sub-agent orchestration. Participants who've already studied the repos lead segments. Everyone else brings questions, pushback and their own building context. The goal: extract the patterns both systems converge on — and where they diverge, and why.
A short live demo from one of the participating founders showing what they're building in agentic AI today. Walk out having seen a real AI-first product in action — not just read about one. Followed by open Q&A and an invite to the follow-up study group.
A working mental model of how a real agentic coding system is structured.
A side-by-side comparison of two production-class architectures, trade-offs called out.
A starter scaffold to begin building your own agent loop — a foundation, not a toy.
A live look at what a fellow founder is shipping in agentic AI right now.
A circle of serious AI builders in Pune — and an open invite to future sessions.
You'll be coding along in the final stretch, not just watching.
Clone links are shared the day after registration so you land ready.
Anthropic, OpenAI or any provider of your choice — for the build-out.
Highly recommended. You'll get 2× more out of the deep-reads.
