ONE COURSE. ONE STORY.

Learn Claude for real and build your own AI agent.

A REAL COURSE THAT PLAYS LIKE A GAME

Start with Claude, from your first prompt (what you type to the AI) all the way to Claude Code. Then move on to machine learning and build your own AI agent (an AI that gets tasks done for you). Plain English, with hands-on practice right in your browser.

Free, no credit card. You'll create your account along the way, before your first mission.

  • Two courses: Claude and machine learning
  • Hands-on projects in your browser
  • Earn XP, streaks, and levels as you go
  • Final project: your own AI agent

How it works

You don't just read about Claude. You use it.

Nobody here learns by reading alone. You'll build and test 22 projects right in your browser, with nothing to install. Every project counts. So does every day you show up.

What is Machine Don?

A game that teaches AI. You live the story and learn by doing.

  • It looks like a game. It's a course.

    You play through a family saga and come out knowing how to actually use AI.

  • Nothing to install.

    Open it in your browser, on your phone or computer, and start right away.

  • Learn by doing.

    Every chapter is a problem to solve. Solve it, and you rise in the Family.

How you learn

Get the mission. Practice. Ship it. Level up.

  1. Get your mission

    Every chapter opens with a real problem. Context first, theory second.

  2. Learn by doing

    One idea at a time, in plain English, with practice in every lesson.

  3. Build and test

    Practice, build projects, and prove what you've learned in challenges.

  4. Level up

    Earn XP for every project, keep a daily streak, and level up as you go.

Two courses, one journey

First, master Claude from end to end. Then teach the machine to think.

Go from zero to a working project, at the pace of a story.

Your questions

Straight answers.

Do I need to know how to code or do math?

No. The course starts from scratch. Code only shows up when it makes sense, and it's explained line by line.

Does it really cover generative AI and LLMs?

Yes. You'll take transformers apart, learn how embeddings and vector databases work, and see what it costs to run a big model.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. Play right in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen, just like an app.

How long does it take?

About 30 hours total, across 77 short chapters: 11 intro chapters, 5 on what's inside the machine, and 61 hands-on lessons. Do one a day or binge it over a weekend. Your call.

How much does it cost?

The first chapter is free, no credit card required. To keep going, the full course is R$39.90, paid once. No subscription.

What if I already know machine learning?

Then play for the story and skip what you already know. Spaced review keeps your skills sharp.

The Family's door is open

Your first mission is short. Start today.

It's real practice from day one. By the end, you'll have your own AI agent.
