Answers

Answers, by topic

The course

How much does the AI Builder course cost?

₹499, once. No subscription and nothing added at checkout (no GST). A limited number of founding seats are available at ₹249; after they're gone the price is ₹499.

Is anything free?

Yes. The welcome lesson and all of Chapter 1 are open to everyone, with no account needed. Read them first and decide after.

What if the course isn't for me?

You get a full refund if you ask within 7 days of paying and have completed less than two chapters. Email us with your order ID and we refund the full amount through Razorpay.

What will I build in the course?

Three real apps and a capstone of your own. You start with a first app in Chapter 3, build App #1 properly with a spec and a plan, then an app that remembers data and goes live, and finish with your capstone and a portfolio demo.

What is the founders' session?

A small online group session with the two founders, up to 8 people. Bring whatever you've built, even if it's only Chapter 1, and ask anything. It's included when you buy the course; you book a slot right after paying.

Who it’s for

Do I need a CS background or coding experience?

Not at all. The course is designed for anyone — commerce, arts, engineering or any other field. We start from the basics and build up. If you can use a smartphone, you can learn to build with AI.

What if I'm a working professional from a non-tech field?

That's perfect. Many of our learners come from non-tech backgrounds — marketing, finance, healthcare, education and more. The course is self-paced, in short lessons you can finish on your phone, so it fits around work.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes, when you finish the course and submit your capstone. More importantly, you'll have a portfolio of live apps that shows what you can do.

How is this different from YouTube tutorials?

YouTube gives you scattered information. The AI Builder course is a structured path with short lessons, a quiz in each, three apps you actually ship, and a live session with the founders. It's the difference between watching cooking videos and cooking with a chef.

What will I actually learn?

Practical skills: how AI works, prompting, catching AI mistakes, turning an idea into a spec and a plan, building and fixing apps with AI, agents and automation, and going live safely. No heavy theory, just what you need to build.

Is there job placement support?

We don't offer a job guarantee — nobody honest can. What you get is a portfolio of real, deployed projects, a certificate, and time with working engineers in the founders' session. Learners who want more hands-on guidance can be invited to our small-batch lab workshops.

Who are the mentors at OxygenLabs?

OxygenLabs is run by working software engineers who are graduates of CEG (Anna University). Mentors come from CEG, MIT Chennai and other top institutions, with real industry experience in AI, product development and cloud.

Do I need coding experience?

No. The course starts from absolute basics. If you can use a smartphone and are curious about AI, you're ready. We've taught students from commerce, arts, engineering and many non-tech backgrounds.

Labs, schools and colleges

What are lab workshops?

Small-batch, hands-on sessions where you build your own project with mentor feedback, online or in person (Chennai first). They're by invitation: course buyers hear about them in the founders' session, and the price is shared there. You can join the waitlist on the Lab workshops page.

Do you run programs for schools and colleges?

Yes. Schools and colleges book a call and get a free demo session for their students. After that we propose a managed program (or an OxiCode lab) as a package priced per institution. Institution programs are separate from the online course.

Learning AI

What is the fees for AI course at OxygenLabs?

The AI Builder course is ₹499, one time, with limited founding seats at ₹249. Chapter 1 is free to try, there's no GST added, and you get a full refund within 7 days if you've completed less than two chapters. Programs for schools and colleges are quoted per institution after a call.

Is learning AI worth it in 2026?

Yes. The demand for AI skills in India keeps growing, and companies across IT, healthcare, finance, marketing and manufacturing want people who can put AI to work. The AI Builder course is updated as the tools change, and focuses on what you can build today: prompting, AI-assisted app building and automation.

Can I learn AI without coding?

Yes — that's the whole point. You build by describing what you want and directing AI to do it, so you don't need to write code yourself. We focus on building real things, not on syntax. Many of our learners come from commerce, arts, MBA and other non-technical backgrounds.

Which is the best institute for AI in Tamil Nadu?

OxygenLabs is run by working engineers from CEG (Anna University) and teaches a hands-on, project-based method: you ship real apps, not just watch lectures. The AI Builder course is online and self-paced, so it works from Chennai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Trichy, Salem or anywhere else, and lab workshops run online and in person in Chennai.

What is the salary after learning AI in India?

AI professionals in India earn roughly ₹4–8 LPA at entry level, ₹10–20 LPA at mid level and ₹25 LPA+ at senior level, depending on role and experience. Many people also add AI skills to their current role. A course can't promise a salary; what helps most is a portfolio of real projects, which the AI Builder course gives you.

How long does it take to learn AI?

The AI Builder course is about 7 hours of short lessons, self-paced, plus the time you spend building your three apps and capstone. Most people finish in a few weeks at 20 minutes a day. Self-study from scattered videos and blogs usually takes much longer to reach the same point.

Is AI good for freshers?

AI is one of the best skills a fresher can add in 2026. Companies are hiring graduates who can work with AI, and a portfolio of deployed projects helps you stand out. The AI Builder course is beginner-friendly — many learners are final-year students or recent graduates.

What is the eligibility for the AI course?

There's no eligibility requirement. You don't need a CS degree, coding experience or a maths background — basic computer or smartphone use and a willingness to learn are enough. Learners range from Class 11–12 students to working professionals.

Can arts students learn AI?

100% yes. Arts students bring real strengths to AI — creativity, communication and domain knowledge in areas like content, design and media. The course explains everything in plain language and has you building with AI from the first chapters, without needing a technical background.

What is prompt engineering?

Prompt engineering is the skill of communicating clearly with AI models like Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini to get accurate, useful results. It needs no coding. The AI Builder course covers it in Chapter 2 (the prompt recipe, power techniques and catching mistakes) and uses it in every app you build.

How to build an app with AI?

You describe what you want in plain language and let AI tools generate the code — a method often called vibe coding — while you stay in charge of the product. In the AI Builder course you go from idea to spec to plan, build and fix with AI, and deploy real apps, with no prior coding experience needed.

What is vibe coding?

Vibe coding is building software by describing what you want in plain language and directing AI tools to generate, run and refine the code — instead of writing it line by line yourself. You stay in control of the product and the decisions; the AI handles the syntax. It's how OxygenLabs teaches complete beginners to build and deploy real apps.

What does OxygenLabs offer?

Three things. (1) The AI Builder course: a self-paced online course where individuals build and ship real apps with AI, with lab workshops for those who want to go further. (2) Programs for schools and colleges, where every student builds a project. (3) OxiCode — an AI coding terminal for school and college computer labs, where each student codes with an AI assistant while teachers monitor from a dashboard.

OxiCode

What is OxiCode?

OxiCode is an AI coding terminal for school and college computer labs, built by OxygenLabs. Each student gets their own AI coding assistant in a real terminal to write, run and build projects, while teachers get a dashboard to see every student's activity, prompts and usage. It's coding-only and safe by default, with per-student accounts and a one-command install for lab machines.

Is there an AI coding tool for school or college computer labs?

Yes — OxiCode by OxygenLabs is purpose-built for this. Unlike a generic AI chatbot, it gives each student a real coding terminal with an AI assistant, stays focused on programming, and gives teachers full visibility through a dashboard. It runs on efficient open models, so a whole class costs only a few rupees per student. Schools and colleges can enquire at oxygenlabs.in/oxicode.
