BuildrLabs is an AI academy for anyone who wants to build with AI. From using it in your work to engineering it from scratch, our in-person programmes are taught by people doing it right now.
Most AI education teaches you to use tools. We teach you to build systems. The difference matters — tools get replaced, but engineering judgement, system-design instinct, and the ability to ship production AI compound over time.
BuildrLabs runs intensive, cohort-based programmes inside Hatch Works — Sri Lanka’s leading tech and startup hub. Every cohort is in person. Every instructor is actively working in the field. Every programme ends with something real in your hands.
Our instructors build AI systems commercially, every day. Not academics. Not career trainers.
A solo agentic app at Week 8 and a production multi-agent system at Week 16. Both live. Both yours.
Updated each cohort based on what hiring teams need right now — not what was useful three years ago.
In-person access to Sri Lanka’s most active tech and startup network — from day one, not after graduation.
Whether you write code or run teams, there’s a programme built for where you are right now.
For people who want to build production AI systems from the ground up. 16 weeks. Saturday sessions. LangGraph, RAG, Docker, Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure — and two deployed systems by Week 16.
For professionals who want to apply AI meaningfully in their work. Practical, hands-on, and built around how professionals actually operate — not a slide deck about ChatGPT.
They haven’t retired into teaching. They’re engineering AI systems in production, running infrastructure that can’t afford to fail, and teaching the next generation because they genuinely want to.
Head of Curriculum at BuildrLabs. Head of AI Engineering at Veracity. Founder of Zuu Crew AI. Has trained over 2,500 people. When he teaches agent architecture or context engineering, he's drawing from decisions he's made in production, not from slides.
BuildrLabs runs inside Hatch Works — Sri Lanka’s leading tech and startup hub. The founders, engineers, and operators you meet here aren’t future connections. They’re your peers from day one.

These answers are about the 16-week Agentic AI Bootcamp (Cohort 1, May 16, 2026). For the Applied AI Bootcamp aimed at non-technical professionals, see that programme’s page.
You show up in person, work alongside a cohort, and ship two real production systems by the end. Online courses give you content. The Agentic AI Bootcamp gives you a portfolio, instructor connections, and a Demo Day in front of hiring companies.
People who want to build production AI systems, not just use them. Fresh graduates, A-level students, career-changers, and working developers who want to specialise in agentic AI. If you want to apply AI in a non-technical role rather than build it, our Applied AI Bootcamp is the better fit.
Three tracks share the same core 16-week curriculum: AI Engineer (build and deploy LLM-powered apps), Automation Engineer (design multi-agent workflows), and AI Product Builder (ship AI products on cloud infrastructure). You specialise through your Capstone 2 project in the back half.
Coding experience is required for this bootcamp — basic Python or JavaScript is enough. If you don't have it yet, learn the basics before Cohort 1 starts on May 16, 2026 (free intro courses on Codecademy or freeCodeCamp work). WhatsApp +94 76 925 6780 or email [email protected] and we'll help you map a prep plan. (If you want an AI programme that doesn't require coding, see the Applied AI Bootcamp.)
The Agentic AI Bootcamp moves you up the AI stack rather than re-teaching what you already know. The first weeks (LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG) give formal grounding for things experienced devs pick up ad-hoc. The back half — LangGraph, CrewAI, MCP servers, dual-memory architectures, production observability for LLM apps — is genuinely new territory for most working engineers.
4 hours in-person on Saturdays (9am–1pm) at Hatch Works, Colombo, plus 6–8 hours of weekly self-study and project work. Intensive by design. Total: ~10–12 hours per week over 16 weeks.
A structured ramp to Demo Day — the final session of the Agentic AI Bootcamp where you present your production project to our partner companies who are actively hiring. Includes priority access to those partners plus coaching to convert. Eligibility: 80% attendance, all assignments, all projects completed.
No. What we guarantee is your place in front of hiring decision-makers at Demo Day, plus the preparation to convert. Eligibility: 80% attendance, all assignments, all projects completed.
Full refund if you withdraw by the end of Day 1 of Cohort 1, no questions asked. After Day 1, all payments are non-refundable.
Week 16 ends with Demo Day. Eligible students enter the Priority Placement Pathway — priority introductions to our partner companies, interview prep, and placement coaching. Community access is included for all graduates.
Yes — for employer-sponsored students. Email [email protected] to arrange.
