what's included
The 7 things you have the moment you pay.
01
Pre-course prep, tailored to you — as soon as you pay, the Agentist Advisor builds your pre-course prep from the background you gave on the application. Save it and it is emailed to you; you can keep adjusting it with the Advisor or your Mentor right up to the start date.
02
The full 13-week agentic engineering program — Phase 1 (four weeks) on modern agent principles and architecture, with 3 personal projects landing alongside it; Phase 2 with mentor-led enterprise projects, 15 days of iteration each (take a heavier workload and you can finish in as few as 9 weeks). Live sessions plus lab work plus the community.
03
Full access to Parallight Lab — AI tutor / predict-before-reveal mode / trace visualization / anti-shallow-fork evaluator / one-click deploys to a modern stack.
04
6 runnable projects, built by you —
Auto-Scientist · productivity assistant · trading agent · LLM serving for support · UR5 robot · ticketing + ERP agent, each with full traces and evaluation.
05
All session recordings and code assets — kept for you to review (for your own study only).
06
Lifetime membership of the Parallight Alumni Network — the Agentist community, TA opportunities in future cohorts, and referral channels.
07
A 1-on-1 before the cohort starts — Marvin goes through your goals with you personally and suggests a learning path.
↻
15-day no-questions refund
If it is not right for you within 15 days of the start date, one sentence to Marvin gets you a full refund to your original payment method. No explanation needed, and we will not ask for one. We are betting on the value of the program itself — the people who stay, stay because it is actually useful.

faq
What you might want to ask before paying.
When does the cohort start after I pay?
Cohort 2 starts on August 15, 2026. Live sessions run once a week on Saturday or Sunday, 3 hours each; exact times are announced before the start date and are set to work across US and Asia time zones. As soon as you pay you can sign in to Agentist with your email and begin prep (the $50 learning credit lands automatically). About a week before the start you also get onboarding materials, a community invite, and an invitation to your 1-on-1 with Marvin.
Can I get a receipt or invoice for expensing?
Yes. Stripe emails your receipt automatically and it works as a standard expense record. If your company needs a formal invoice with a specific bill-to name, VAT/tax ID or purchase-order reference, email Marvin after paying and we will issue one.
How does the refund work?
Within 15 days of the start date, one line by email or a community DM to Marvin is enough — no explanation needed. The refund goes back to your original card through Stripe within 3–7 business days. After 15 days refunds are no longer available (but you keep the full program and all your assets).
If Stripe checkout will not load or your card is declined, fill in the application form with your contact details, or email marvin.gao.cs@gmail.com — we will arrange another way to complete payment (bank transfer or an alternative payment method).
Is there a team or group discount?
Cohort 2 pricing is not discounted further. That said, if you are bringing a team of 3 or more, we are happy to discuss a customized in-house program. Book a call.
Still deciding? Read the details, or talk it through with Marvin:
What follows is the agreement between you and Parallight regarding the
Agentic Engineering Boot Camp 2026, 2nd Term (Cohort 2).
Please read it carefully. Signing by hand at the bottom of this page constitutes
agreement between both parties.
01What you receive
The full 13-week program (finishable in 9): Phase 1 (weeks 1–4) covers modern agent principles and architecture — ReAct / MCP / tools / skills, memory and context engineering, harness engineering with the Claude Code source, computer use, multi-agent, loop and graph engineering, self-evolving agents, evaluation, security and the production substrate — with 3 personal projects completed alongside it (Auto-Scientist · productivity assistant · trading agent). Phase 2 (weeks 5–13) is 3 mentor-led enterprise projects, 15 days of iteration each (LLM serving infrastructure for enterprise support · ROS2 + multi-modal UR5 robot · airline ticketing + ERP agent). Full detail in the syllabus.
6 runnable projects: each with complete traces, evaluation and a technical report, together forming your agent engineering portfolio. Three of them are adapted from real company projects and are suitable for your résumé.
Pre-course prep tailored to you: after payment, the Agentist Advisor builds your pre-course prep from the background on your application and emails it to you once saved; you can adjust it with the Advisor or your Mentor at any point before the start date.
A $50 learning credit: credited automatically when you sign in with the same email you paid with, so you can start on Academy immediately.
Agentist learning access and the online IDE for the duration: AI-mentored teaching, a hosted lab environment, trace visualization.
A weekly 1-on-1: one 30-minute meeting per week with Marvin, scheduled by mutual agreement.
Session recordings: retained for 1 year, reviewable at any time during that period.
Alumni network: lifetime membership, community access, referral channels.
02Schedule
Live sessions: once a week on Saturday or Sunday, 3 hours each; exact times announced before the start date, set to work across US and Asia time zones
Phase 2 (weeks 5–13) additionally includes mentor- and TA-led project building and guidance sessions, held on weekends
Start date: Saturday, August 15, 2026, running 13 weeks. If you take a heavier workload, the Phase 2 projects may run in parallel and start earlier, finishing in as few as 9 weeks (confirmed with the program team after the cohort begins)
Beyond the live sessions, expect 6–8 hours per week of self-study and lab work
03Refund policy
Refund, no questions asked, within 15 days of the start date (through 2026-08-30)
How to request: email marvin.gao.cs@gmail.com or send a direct message in the Agentist community. One sentence is enough; no explanation is required
The refund is reduced by the granted learning credit you have already spent — that is,
the “$50 learning credit” in section 01 plus any credit unlocked by an invite code, valued at
actual Lab metered cost. Lab usage records govern; the deduction never exceeds the total credit granted.
Credit you topped up yourself is untouched — keep using it, or request a separate refund of the unspent portion
Timing: refunded to your original payment method through Stripe within 1 week of the request (5–7 business days)
After 15 days refunds are no longer available (you may still complete the whole program and keep all your assets)
04Lab usage terms
Each learner has a capped lab token quota (it is not unlimited); the exact figure is published one week before the start date
The quota covers normal coursework; beyond it you top up yourself or substitute a self-hosted model
Code you write in the lab belongs to you. The lab platform code belongs to Parallight and is licensed for your personal study only; it may not be shared
05Changes and force majeure
Course content may be adjusted as the field moves (updated models, tools, case studies) without affecting the core objectives or total duration
In the event of illness or other force majeure affecting the instructor, Parallight will notify you in advance and either reschedule or reasonably extend the timeline
If personal circumstances (leave, a job change, a change of direction) keep you from following along, you may catch up via the recordings; this does not create a refund entitlement
06Intellectual property
Course materials (recordings, code, documentation) are the copyright of Parallight and are licensed for your personal study only
You may not publicly redistribute course content (including in group chats, paid knowledge communities, video platforms or public GitHub repositories)
The codebase you write is entirely yours — you may use it commercially, open-source it, or put it in your portfolio
07Contact
