Here’s my promise: if you follow this roadmap seriously for 6–9 months, you’ll be able to build and deploy AI agents that work in the real world. Not demos. Systems that solve problems.
What you’ll get - from the legendary Paolo Perrone:
The 8 phases from zero to deployed agents (with realistic timelines)
Which resources are actually worth your time
The specialization paths that lead to real jobs
What “good enough” looks like before moving on
The mistakes I made so you don’t have to
But you have to do the work. Not skim. Not bookmark for later. Not tell yourself you’ll get to the math eventually.
By the end of 2026, you will master AI Engineering before even realizing it.
Let’s go!
