Course 1 · Building with AI
You have the knowledge, the skill, you know exactly what is needed:let AI do the hours.
Learn to set up, guide and supervise an AI assistant for professional-quality work. Practical courses in French and English, paid by Mobile Money.
The first contact with the AI is free. No bank card.
The shift
AI does not replace you. It multiplies your capabilities.
Tomorrow, repetitive work will be done by AI agents: spreadsheets, accounting, code, reports and meeting notes, drafting plans… Human workers will no longer be executants, but first-level managers who define or receive the project, analyse it, plan it, direct several agents, check and correct.
Fewer hours of machine work.
More time to decide.
Who it is for
For people who want to turn their skill into (very) high productivity.
In practice, not only in theory. You have skill and/or years of craft: application or software development, strategy and planning (marketing, sales), accounting planning, graphic design – creating perfect visuals and mock-ups for your clients… AI does not replace these skills. It frees you from these hours of repetitive work, lets you concentrate on your vision, and lets you achieve it quickly.
Course 1 is for people who design and deliver software. Other trades follow.
- Developers
- Team leaders
- Designers
- Managers
What remains is what counts: having the right vision, and saying it clearly enough for the AI to build it.
What you will be able to do
At the end of Course 1.
Environment
A working development environment, with an AI coding assistant connected to a real project.
Process
Three schemas to organise any AI-assisted project, which you will reuse every time.
Result
A real small web application, built by you with your assistant, from an almost empty project to a running app.
Method
A standard method you can apply in the same way to your next projects, to speed up their delivery dramatically…

Why MANSA
A method tested on real work.
Twenty years of programming, with real successes and failures. A complete method, built and tested on a real application: the AI does the development work under guidance and supervision, learns from each task, and becomes more autonomous.
This site and this application are built with the MANSA AI Dev Cycle / Dev Loop method. Confidentiality does not allow us to name the complete previous application built with the method.
This course teaches the MANSA AI Dev Cycle / Dev Loop method.
Testimonials
What people say after the training.
- Example
A very complete and very practical training: in just a few sessions, I learned to work with AI every day, with exercises I could apply right away. Honestly, I wish it had lasted longer! I want more, and that's a good sign: I can't wait for the next trainings to go much deeper.
Simo M. - Example
My team spent too many hours on repetitive tasks. During the training, I learned to frame a job for the AI, then check what it hands back. Now I give the instructions, my developers review, and we deliver much faster. The trainer answered all our questions, which made the difference.
Brice T. - Example
I knew what I wanted to create, but not how to tell the AI. The three schemas gave me a clear method that I use on every project. I deliver mockups to my clients faster and I have time left to polish the details. The course works very well on a phone, even with a slow connection.
Aïcha N. - Example
I used AI like a search engine. Here, I learned to converse with it, give it context and review its code rigorously. I built the demo application from start to finish, and I apply the same method to my projects. It is the difference between trying AI and working with it.
Yvan K. - Example
I run a small organisation and wanted to understand what AI can really do, without jargon. The free first contact convinced me, and the modules taught me to supervise the work instead of doing everything myself. I recommend this course to any manager who wants to save time.
Carine M. - Example
The exercises in the room were practical, and the trainer unblocked us at every step. I left with a working environment and a method I can repeat on my own. I have already recommended it to my fellow developers.

Questions
Before you start.
Will AI replace me?
Some tasks will disappear. People who can direct AI will take the place of people who cannot. This course puts you in the first group.
What level do I need?
A craft you already know. Course 1 is written for people who design and deliver software; the free First contact module introduces you to understanding AI and our approach…
What tools do I need?
Beyond the tools and platforms listed in the course (GitHub first), we recommend working on the command line: it is the interface that lets you get the most out of working with AI. You limit yourself to text (and context: images, documents, links), so you stay truly focused on the conversation with the AI, in the format that suits it best. You can of course work with a code editor (VSCode, Antigravity) that offers a prompt window. Tell us how you work, so that the instructions are adapted.
Do I need a good connection?
No. The platform is built for slow connections, with a data-saver mode.
What does the AI assistant cost?
Nothing more: the access to the AI assistant that the course needs is included in the course price. You only pay extra if you want to go far beyond what the course asks.
Do I get a certificate?
Not yet.
