AMD University Program
Join the DECIL AI Agent Workshop
- One live online class a week for five weeks — four modules plus Demo Day — hands-on rather than lecture. You build during the program, not after it.
- Go from a raw idea to something you can actually show — a working prototype, an automated workflow you use at work, or a pitch.
- Set up an agent crew that does your research, build, content and operations work — with memory and skills, so it gets stronger every week.
- Present at a full Demo Day, hosted and judged by the instructor. Top projects are considered for mentorship, incubation and investor introductions.
- Optional: the in-person Valkyrie AI Seminar on Mon Nov 2 in Santa Clara, with a visiting MBZUAI delegation.
A group workshop: everyone builds the same reference crew together, step by step. It does not include individual review of your own project. Want it built around your own business, with personal guidance? That is AI Superpower on Maven.
Register now and the CASPA perk is yours: 30% off the CEO Summit, October 23–24 — up to $539 off.
Not another course on AI tools
- You learn to lead a crew, not click a tool. The skill is directing agents that do the work — briefing them, checking them, and running several at once.
- Self-improving. Your agents write down what worked, rewrite their own prompts and carry memory forward. The crew you finish week 5 with is stronger than the one you built in week 2.
- A real production system, live. The instructor runs 30+ agents that ship his own company’s work every day, and opens it up in class. Not a demo built for slides.
Your instructor
Nathan Wang, PhD
He runs a company by himself with a crew of 30+ agents, and opens that exact system up in class. Fifteen years of hardware, software and AI before it — semiconductors, Apple, Meta.
Full bio →
Nathan Wang is an AI founder, full-stack developer and US engineering PhD with 15 years of hands-on work across hardware, software and AI at ASM, Lam Research, Apple and Meta. At ASM and Lam Research he developed thin-film deposition and etch processes for advanced semiconductor nodes; at Apple he helped ship iPhone X through iPhone 14, AirPods Pro and Mac Pro; at Meta he was responsible for AR glasses, AI agent integration and the wearables operating system. Today he is founder and CEO of Ipsion AI, where he builds and runs the AgentOS / ClawBot multi-agent system on his own as a full-stack developer, and through Soul AI he delivers hands-on AI-native training and transformation consulting for individuals and companies. He teaches AI on Maven, Udemy, LinkedIn Learning and more: 24 courses, 50,000+ students in over 50 countries. His conviction: the value of AI isn't how much headcount and cost it saves. It's giving one person a whole team, amplifying a single builder into the force of a company of dozens, with the nerve to take on the giants.
How the five weeks run
Every week is hands-on with ClawBot / AgentOS, the multi-agent system built by Ipsion AI.
OPC Foundation
Product × System × Business — the three you have to hold at once. Opens with the instructor’s own 30+ agent system running live.
System — set up your agent crew
Stand up the crew on the jobs you already have: weekly reports, competitive analysis, code review, test data, technical docs.
Product — build what creates real value
Turn the crew into something people want — an internal tool your team adopts, or a product with a first user outside.
Business — revenue is all you need
Two tracks: make the system pay inside an organization, or take the shortest path to your first dollar.
Demo Day — show the world your OPC
Present live, hosted and judged by the instructor. Strong projects go to mentors and investors.
Seminar
Optional, in person, hosted by DECIL. Mon Nov 2 · 4–6 PM · Santa Clara · with the MBZUAI delegation.
The workshop starts the Saturday after the CASPA annual conference (Oct 23–24), and workshop participants get 30% off to attend it (below). Weekly sessions run from October 31.
One thread runs through all five weeks: making your agent crew stronger this week than it was last week — harness and loop engineering, memory, and skills it writes for itself.

- 30% off all conference tickets for workshop participants: up to $539 off the $1,799 Best Bundle (conference + dinner banquet). Your code arrives as soon as you register for the workshop — the Summit is October 23–24, so register before then to use it.
- Speakers include Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, Nobel laureate John Martinis, and the CEOs of Synopsys, Cerebras and SemiAnalysis.
What you'll learn
AI-native mindset
How one person delivers what used to take a team — what changes is the way you work, not just which tool you open.
Agent crew & harness
Stand up a crew of agents, and engineer the harness and loop that make them reliable.
Memory & skill design
Agents that write down what worked, fix their own prompts and compound — instead of starting from zero every session.
Product judgment
Decide what is actually worth building, then get it in front of a first real user.
Revenue
Pricing, distribution and the shortest path from working prototype to first dollar.
Local AI in practice
AMD Ryzen AI demonstrated live by the instructor — where local compute beats the cloud, and where it doesn't.
Valkyrie AI Seminar · Monday, Nov 2 · 4–6 PM PT · Santa Clara
At the Valkyrie Fund office. A delegation of about 25 from MBZUAI (Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence, Abu Dhabi) visits that day. Attendance is optional and in person; every workshop participant is welcome to join the session and meet them.
- Prof. Allen Yang, UC Berkeley — Physical AI. EECS faculty and Executive Director of the FHL Vive Center for Enhanced Reality; 100+ technical papers and 20+ US patents across computer vision, autonomous systems and immersive interfaces. He also gave the previous program's seminar.
- An AI researcher from xAI (now SpaceX). An informal conversation, off the record.
Who it’s for
You don’t need to start a company, and you don’t need to quit your job. You do need to be willing to build between sessions.
US × Middle East. The workshop is open to founders in both regions: join online, and pitch at Demo Day.
Working engineers & technical ICs
Especially in semiconductors and hardware. The verification, data analysis, documentation and reporting that repeats every week is exactly what a crew takes over.
Managers & team leads
You can’t get headcount, but you’re still expected to deliver more. An agent crew is the headcount you can actually get.
People building something on the side
One system, two shifts: your job in the day, your own thing at night — without giving up either.
Students & early-career
Graduate already able to direct an agent crew, not just use a chatbot. AI, engineering, product, business or investing.
Founders & solo operators
Building an AI-native venture, consulting or creating on your own, and wanting to move with far fewer resources.
Before you register
I’m not planning to start a company. Is this for me?
Yes — that is who the workshop is built around. The program is named after the one-person company because that is the extreme case: one person carrying a team’s output. Most people here put the same crew to work inside a job they are keeping. Week 4 runs two tracks, one for each.
How much time does it take?
Five weekly sessions — four modules of about 1.5 hours each and a 2–3 hour Demo Day — plus roughly 5–10 hours a week of your own building, and an optional seminar hosted by DECIL. This is a builder program, not a lecture series: the people who get the most out of it are the ones who ship something between sessions.
Do I need to bring my own laptop?
Yes. Every participant needs their own computer for every session. AMD hardware is used for live demonstrations by the instructor and is not distributed to participants.
Do I need a technical background?
No. You do need to be comfortable experimenting with tools and willing to iterate. The program is hands-on, so you'll be building either way.
In person or online?
Online. Each week is one live online class; DECIL emails the joining link before the first session, and recordings are shared afterwards. The Nov 2 seminar is the one optional in-person event.
What happens after I pay?
You'll get a confirmation email from DECIL. Registration, payment and participant support for this program are run by DECIL, not by AI Superpower.
