A proving ground for AI

Learning by
building what's real.

LearnBuildTransform

DolfynAI is where capable people develop real, production-grade AI systems end to end — research, architecture, delivery, and genuine feedback — guided through the same process industry teams follow. Less time on tutorials, more time building work that matters.

Built with industry

We're building DolfynAI together with mentors from leading companies.

The program, the projects, and the standards are shaped hand-in-hand with senior engineers and AI practitioners from top technology companies — so what you build reflects how the best teams actually work.

5%

Only about 5% of enterprise AI pilots ever reach production.

The bottleneck isn't the models — it's people who can take AI from a demo to a working system inside real constraints. That's exactly the capability DolfynAI builds. — MIT NANDA, State of AI in Business 2025

The model

Four moves. The whole job.

Every cohort runs the full arc of real engineering work — the same arc a corporate AI team runs when it takes on something new.

1 SELECT

Get in

Small batches of capable people, chosen through rigorous evaluation.

2 DESIGN

Figure it out

Research a real problem, evaluate the tech, decide how to build it.

3 BUILD

Deliver it

Build from the ground up in real workflows and deliver to real users.

4 ITERATE

Make it real

Real stakeholders, real evaluation, real feedback loops — then improve.

Flagship project

See what gets built:
Digitomics.

Digitomics — an AI copilot for enterprise infrastructure economics — is the real, production-grade product that proved the DolfynAI model, built end to end exactly the way our cohorts now work. Living proof that building beats watching.

Where it leads

Built for the two AI roles
the industry can't fill.

Rather than train generalists, we develop the specific, hard-to-find capabilities behind the roles companies are working hardest to fill.

// HIGH-CEILING GENERALIST

Forward Deployed Engineer

Part engineer, part problem-solver — embeds with customers to take frontier AI from demo to production. Palantir, OpenAI, and Anthropic are hiring them fast.

Total comp range (US)$171K–$1M+
Full-stack + MLRAG / agentsCloudCustomer-facing
// THE #1 IN-DEMAND AI HIRE

AI Data Engineer

Builds the data and retrieval backbone that makes AI work in production — pipelines, vector databases, embeddings, and governance for LLM apps.

For colleges

Give your students experience
employers actually want.

We partner directly with colleges to bring the proving ground to your campus — helping capable students become engineers who've shipped real AI before they graduate.

Bridge the experience gap

84% of employers say graduates aren't workforce-ready. We help change that.

Real outcomes, on campus

Students build production AI for real users, guided by industry mentors.

A pipeline to AI roles

Aligned to the FDE & AI Data Engineer roles companies can't fill.

The next cohort is forming

Real projects. Real users.
Real experience.

If you can already code and you're serious about a real AI career, this is your proving ground.
