I built ViratLabs because every professional I know feels behind on AI — and most courses cost too much and teach too little. This is the curriculum I wish existed when I started. Free. Practical. No fluff.
Most professionals who look like AI experts learned 90% of it in the last 18 months.
AI is changing every profession — quietly at first, then all at once. The professionals who adapt early will define the next decade.
Your domain expertise is an advantage. A nurse who understands AI is more valuable than an AI engineer who doesn't understand healthcare.
Learning by building beats reading by a factor of ten. This curriculum is built around things you actually make — not content you passively consume.
This is free, open source, and built by someone who is learning in public — not a vendor trying to sell you a $2,000 course. See the curriculum on GitHub →
Check off each task as you complete it. Your progress saves automatically — pick up where you left off tomorrow.
Each path has structured phases, weekly tasks, copy-paste prompts, and portfolio projects — all from the open-source curriculum.
3-level curriculum: prompt injection defense, RAG security, threat modeling, red teaming, and governance. For SOC analysts, GRC teams, and security engineers.
5-phase curriculum: AI basics, PHI/PII data awareness, practical workflows, safety & compliance, and portfolio. For nurses, researchers, and administrators.
8 real use cases with n8n, GitHub Actions, APIs, and AI routing. Human-in-the-loop by design. For ops, RevOps, workflow builders, and SREs.
5-phase roadmap: foundations, tool use, agent design, multi-agent systems, and production readiness. For developers and automation engineers.
7 prompt categories with patterns, testing methods, and evaluation rubrics. Role-Goal-Context-Format and beyond. For analysts, writers, and PMs.
5-level foundation: vocabulary, prompting, workflows, safety, and your first portfolio project. No technical background required. This is where most people begin.
Each path maps to one or more career tracks with real job titles and salary context. AI Security Analysts earned a median of $124,910 (BLS, May 2024) with 29% projected growth. Pick a path, follow it, ship something.
