Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need any technical background?

For the Intro course — absolutely not. It's designed for complete beginners; technical people will also find depth. The Advanced and Claude Ecosystem courses assume basic familiarity with AI tools. The ADR Masterclass assumes software engineering experience.

Can I take multiple courses?

Yes — they're designed to stack. Intro builds the mental model; Advanced goes deep on internals; Claude Ecosystem shows you how to build with Claude's full toolkit; ADR Masterclass brings AI into architectural decision-making.

Is there a recording?

Community tier: recording access for 7 days after the workshop. Coaching tier: lifetime access. The slides are always available online at the links above.

What if I can't attend live?

Registered participants get the recording regardless. The live session adds Q&A and interaction, but the content is fully available post-event.

What's the refund policy?

Full refund if requested more than 48 hours before the workshop. No refunds after that, but you keep recording access if you can't attend.

Can my team attend?

Yes — team registrations welcome. For groups of 5+, reach out directly for a custom arrangement. Corporate invoicing available.

What tools do I need?

Just Google Meet (runs in your browser — no install) and a free ChatGPT or Claude account so you can follow along with exercises live.

What language are the workshops in?

English by default. Romanian sessions available on request — reach out if you'd prefer a Romanian-language edition.

About Florin Bădiță

I've spent the last several years building production AI systems — from civic tech platforms to enterprise workflow automation — and I've learned what actually matters when you're trying to make AI work in the real world (vs. what sounds good in a tweet).

In early 2026 I ran the ADD Protocol experiment: 31 consecutive days building 4 production systems using only AI tools, logging over 1 billion tokens consumed and 1,053 architectural decisions. That work also led to developing the ADR methodology for AI-assisted architecture. These workshops distil what I learned — the mental models, the techniques, and critically, the limitations.

I design these workshops for people who want to understand AI well enough to use it confidently — not to pass an exam, not to impress anyone, but to do better work.
