I launch products, lead teams and companies, and teach vibe coding

Hi, I'm Anton Shakirov. I build products myself and help others build theirs: founders, companies and people who are learning to ship their own with AI.

How I can help

My courses on AI and vibe coding

I teach people to build products with AI: from an idea to a working service, without waiting for a developer or a big budget.

He’s someone who plays seriously, and you can feel that.” “Working with him is genuinely exciting, because he doesn’t just complete projects — he lives them.”

"Working with Anton is, above all, a synonym for comfort and a thoughtful, balanced approach. Communication with him is free of conflict or misunderstandings — he builds it in the most constructive, calm, and focused way. What stands out most is his absolute reliability. If an agreement is made, you can be sure the result will follow, without the need for micromanagement or reminders. He simply takes full responsibility and sees things through, showing maturity and deep involvement."

“Why it was valuable and why I recommend it: – A very competent outside perspective on your business. – Extremely practical and specific advice: where to find a certain specialist, how much to pay different roles, how to structure the organization, etc. In short, Anton answered and guided me on nearly everything I had long been unsure about — when I had no one else to ask.”

“A true professional, attentive to detail, with excellent communication skills. What’s especially great is that you can easily resume work even after a break — Anton has an excellent memory, and there’s no need to repeat anything.”

“There’s no need to even talk about Anton’s professionalism and responsibility — it’s all at the highest level. To be honest, I didn’t expect Anton to look at the project so broadly and deeply, and to stay involved even in the tiniest details before the launch.”
