Free scoping week, then a four-week build for a flat $20k. Free skills workflow and self-paced learning. Production AI, built for your business. Work directly with an engineer to ship RAG, agents, and document pipelines. Start with a free scoping week, then a four-week build for a flat $20k. Prefer to build it yourself? Start with the free skills workflow. Founder: Teo Deleanu (https://www.linkedin.com/in/teodeleanu/). Bio, in his words: "I'm Teo. I've shipped production software for 15+ years — lead engineer at Comodo, MiOS, and forfone, then nine years owning an IoT platform's cloud infrastructure, and production AI on contract since 2025. On a sprint you work directly with me: I scope it, build it, and own the result." ## What AIESCU is Two products that share one method: - **Done-for-you** ([details](https://aiescu.com/dfy)): 4-week build sprint, $20k flat, after a free scoping week; you own the code. - **Do-it-yourself** ([details](https://aiescu.com/diy)): The book plus two self-paced programs (Build with Claude Code and Become an AI Engineer) with the 300+ skill library. Track record: 99.9% API availability on a client's production platform; 10× cut in a client's infrastructure costs; 93% retrieval accuracy on a client's production document AI (CI-gated); 15+ years shipping production software. ## Who it is for ### Choose Done-for-you if… - You need it in production fast, without hiring an AI team - You'd rather own the finished system than build it - You have real data and a real problem right now Best fit: Pre-seed – Series A; No in-house AI team; Regulated or proprietary data; Wants to own the code. ### Choose Do-it-yourself if… - You're an engineer who wants to build it yourself - You want the skills for the long term, not just a deliverable - You prefer self-paced, with lifetime access Best fit: Engineers who can code; Founder-engineers; Eng-led team-of-one. ## Who it is not for ### Not a fit for done-for-you - Needs a 24/7 support contract - Wants commodity per-hour body-shop pricing - No clear data or problem yet ### Not a fit for do-it-yourself - Zero code background - “Make me an AI app without writing code” ## Offers ### Done-for-you: [Ship production AI for your startup in 4 weeks.](https://aiescu.com/dfy) For seed/Series-A founders without an in-house AI team. RAG, agents, ingestion pipelines, evals. A free scoping week, then a flat $20k 4-week build sprint to production. - **RAG-in-prod in 4 weeks**: Discovery + spec + a working pipeline behind your data. - **Agents with eval-CI guardrails**: Tool-using agents with eval CI, red-team, and observability. - **Document ingestion pipelines**: OpenSearch / Bedrock ingestion that stays inside your AWS account. Fixed-fee sprints — no hourly billing: $20k flat, per 4-week build sprint. Most seed and Series-A builds fit one sprint. Larger scopes get a fixed multi-sprint quote on the free scoping call. ### Do-it-yourself: [self-paced programs](https://aiescu.com/diy) - **Build with Claude Code** (2-day intensive · ~12 hrs recorded + repo + skills library): $297 founder price, $997 regular. Ship a working Claude-Code agent end-to-end; File-edit, MCP tools, hooks, slash commands; Lifetime access + the skills library. - **Become an AI Engineer** (6-week self-paced · ~30 hrs across 6 modules + repos): $499 founder price, $2997 regular. RAG, agents, evals, observability, prod-deploy, multi-agent; Ship a full RAG + agent + eval-CI stack; Lifetime access + updates + skills library. Included: Lifetime access to videos + repos + updates; The 300+ skill library; Invite-based Discord community. ### The book: [The AI Entrepreneur](https://aiescu.com/book) You can still find jobs and clients in the AI era — by switching games. $39.99 launch price ($99.99 list price at launch). ## How an engagement works 1. **Scoping call (free · 30 min)**: Bring a real problem and a sample of your data. We walk you through a working POC and you leave with a fixed number. 2. **Discovery + spec (free · week 1)**: Spec hard, code soft. We agree the deliverable and write the chunked implementation spec and ADRs before anything gets built. 3. **Build sprint (weeks 2–5 · $20k flat)**: Pipeline, agents and eval CI behind your data. Every PR passes the eval gate. If something slips we cut scope, not quality. Either side can stop after the first sprint week for a flat 25% of the fee. 4. **Handover (no lock-in)**: Code, ADRs, spec, eval suite and the relevant skills transfer to your team, so you keep shipping after the sprint. ## How to engage - Done-for-you: [book a free 30-minute scoping call](https://cal.com/aiescu); then a free scoping week (discovery + spec: we agree the deliverable, a chunked implementation spec and the ADRs), a flat $20k 4-week build sprint, and a handover of the code, ADRs, spec, eval suite and skills (no lock-in, no retainer). Kill-switch: either side can stop after the first week of the build sprint for a flat 25% of the fee ($5k); the rest is refunded or not charged.

The 300+ skill library is a versioned collection of reusable Claude Code skills — each one packages a repeatable engineering workflow that Claude invokes on demand in your session. - [https://aiescu.com/agent-skills](https://aiescu.com/agent-skills): a link-first catalog of the most popular third-party skill repositories. The skill count on each card is that upstream repository's own count, not AIESCU's library. Install skills from the public aiescu/agent-skills repository (details: https://aiescu.com/skill.md): Recommended: the Skills CLI (needs Node.js 22.20 or newer). It installs the pinned skills distributed from the repository, each with its original author and license. ```bash # List the skills in the collection npx skills@1 add aiescu/agent-skills --list # Install one skill by name (use a name from the list) npx skills@1 add aiescu/agent-skills --skill # Or pick interactively npx skills@1 add aiescu/agent-skills ``` Alternatives, for the complete upstream frameworks rather than the pinned copies: - Upstream catalog installer (interactive picker): `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aiescu/agent-skills/main/install.sh | bash -s -- --agent claude-code` - Claude Code plugin marketplace (installs upstream plugins): `/plugin marketplace add aiescu/agent-skills` ## How we build 10 laws for shipping AI to production without burning cash. What we've learned building with LLMs. Every build and every course follows them. 1. **Spec hard, code soft.** A page of working spec is worth a week of throwaway code. LLMs accelerate the wrong thing if the spec is wrong. 2. **Evals before the model call.** Write the failing eval first. Without a passing bar you don't have a product, you have a forever-prototype. 3. **Tools beat prompts.** A 20-line tool with a strict schema beats a 2,000-token system prompt. The model recovers from a wrong tool call; it doesn't recover from a vague instruction. 4. **Cache aggressively, route ruthlessly.** Prompt cache, embedding cache, response cache. Cheap model routes; expensive model produces. 80% of the bill is the wrong model on the wrong call. 5. **Monolith for LLMs, microservices for humans.** LLMs read a monolith faster than a 12-service mesh. Split early and you lose the one thing they're best at: holding the whole system at once. 6. **Curate the context, don't polish the prompt.** The model is only as good as what's in the window. Cut every token that isn't a fact, an example, or a constraint. 7. **Receipts, not claims.** Every “it works” is a test run, an eval row, or a git log line. Vibes don't ship. 8. **Subagent review = 2 stages.** Finder + adversarial verifier. One agent gets confidently wrong; two disagreeing agents force the truth. 9. **Manager mode: 5 → 1.** One operator orchestrating 5 parallel agents ships what used to need a team. Lanes, async, documented handoffs. 10. **Player-coach.** Ship code and review agents in the same day. The skill is reading whether today needs hands-on-keyboard or orchestration. ## Frequently asked questions ### Done-for-you **How much does it cost?** A flat $20k per 4-week build sprint; the scoping call and the scoping week before it are free. No hourly billing, no range — you know the number before the build starts. Larger scopes get a fixed multi-sprint quote on the free scoping call. **What if you miss the 4-week timeline?** That's what the scoping week is for. We agree the deliverable up front, and if something slips we cut scope, not quality. You ship something that works. **Is my data safe? Can it stay in my cloud?** Yes. For regulated or proprietary data we run embeddings and inference inside your own AWS account (Bedrock / OpenSearch). Write actions are scoped, confirmed, and audit-logged. **Do I own the code?** Completely. You get the code, ADRs, a chunked implementation spec, and eval CI — transferred to you. No lock-in, no mandatory retainer. **What do you need from me to start?** A real problem, access to (or a sample of) your data, and one free 30-minute scoping call. Then a free scoping week of discovery + spec, where we agree the deliverable, the chunked implementation spec and the ADRs; then the 4-week build sprint to production. **What if it isn't working?** Either side can stop after the first week of the build sprint. You pay a flat 25% of the fee ($5k); the rest is refunded or not charged. No hard feelings on either side. **Can I see proof before I commit?** Yes. There are live demos, the numbers above, and a working POC I walk you through on the call. The full brief with NDA-gated receipts is available too. ### Do-it-yourself **Is this cohort-based?** No. It's self-paced with lifetime access. Start and finish whenever. **What if I don't finish?** Lifetime access. Come back any time. **What's the refund policy?** 14-day money-back from purchase, regardless of course progress. **Do I need to know Claude Code already?** No. The 2-day intensive teaches it from zero. **Is the 6-week program strictly sequential?** No. Jump between the six modules in any order. **Does it cover Bedrock + OpenSearch?** Yes. Both are covered in the prod-deploy module. ## More - Full site index: https://aiescu.com/llms.txt - Full text of the guides, glossary, comparisons and research: https://aiescu.com/llms-full.txt
