Miami AI School · Advanced Phase
Build AI systems that work.
The Advanced Phase is an eight-session program for people ready to move from using AI to building AI systems. Develop a real workflow into a working application with connected agents, evaluations, and human controls. Led by Burhan Sebin, Chief AI Officer at eMerge Americas, the program runs September 14 through October 8, 2026.
Thursdays live online
The format
Four weeks of live instruction, demonstrations, hands-on building, testing, and peer feedback. Bring one real workflow and develop it throughout the program. Each session adds capability and control, from application architecture to agent coordination and production readiness.
Mondays in person

Thursdays live online
Live teaching and hands-on building
Advanced curriculum
From Prototype to Application
Choose a real workflow, identify its users, and define what a successful application must do.
Advanced Vibe Coding
Strengthen your application architecture and make changes with a clear testing process.
Build Your First Agent
Give an agent a goal, tools, state, approval boundaries, and a clear stopping point.
Tools, Data, and Workflows
Connect the resources your system needs while controlling access and data use.
Multi-Agent Systems
Coordinate specialized agents with defined roles, handoffs, and ways to contain failures.
Evals and Observability
Test representative tasks, inspect traces, and use evidence to improve the system.
Guardrails and Production Readiness
Prepare permissions, security checks, human approvals, and recovery procedures.
Ship, Demo, and Defend
Demonstrate your deployed system and explain its results, controls, cost, and limitations.
What you ship
Build an application you can demonstrate and explain. Your work brings together connected agents, an evaluation framework, monitoring, human approvals, and a deployment plan. The final demo makes the system’s evidence, limitations, and next steps clear.
The cohort
This phase is for Miami AI School Beginner graduates and professionals with equivalent hands-on AI experience. Executives, operators, founders, product leaders, and creatives learn together. A traditional software-engineering background is not required; readiness to build, test, debug, and iterate is.
