For your first 90 days as a Junior / Associate AI Engineer
The tradecraft no one is documenting yet.
Evals you can defend. Hallucinations you can explain. Costs you can justify. The probation review you can pass. FirstNinety_ai is the workplace coach for new AI engineers, built by people doing this work in production.
And nobody is teaching you how to have them.
“Why isn't it 100% accurate?”
— from your PM, about the chatbot that just shipped.
“How much will this cost us per user per month?”
— from your CFO, with a deadline.
“Why don't we just use ChatGPT for this?”
— from your director, who thinks ChatGPT and GPT-4 are the same thing.
“Can you run an eval?”
— from your tech lead, with no shared definition of what that means.
“It hallucinated to a customer.”
— from your support team, on a Friday afternoon.
“RAG or fine-tune?”
— from your architect, who already has an opinion.
And then, three months in: “How’s it going? Should we make this permanent?” — from your manager, with everything riding on the answer.
The probation review is the one conversation that decides whether you keep the job. FirstNinety helps you walk into it ready.
Three weeks before your probation review, FirstNinety changes.
You’ve been here twelve weeks. You’ve shipped two models, written one eval suite, and explained hallucinations to your PM more times than you can count. Now your manager wants a thirty-minute conversation about whether you stay.
FirstNinety’s Probation Prep Mode activates twenty-one days before that conversation. The Coach changes voice. Your missions sharpen around evidence-gathering. A one-page Brief gets drafted from everything you’ve shipped, written, and learned — anonymised, exportable, yours to walk into the meeting with. Most probation reviews are decided weeks before the review itself. The work is in the preparation, not the room.
This works whether your probation is 90 days or 6 months — Probation Mode activates 21 days before your review, regardless of when that is.
This wasn't written by a content team.
Authored by AI engineers who ship to production at AkomzyAi Consulting and partner clients. The reference set is the one you actually use on a Tuesday — MCP, LangGraph, eval-driven development — not a re-tread of generic prompt-engineering tips you could have found in a Medium post.
Playbooks that are actually useful.Eval rubrics. Prompt versioning docs. RAG architecture decision records. Hallucination test plans. Cost analysis templates. The artefacts a senior engineer would hand you if you asked — annotated with the reasoning, not just the shape. Not “tips for working with AI.”
Updated continuously because the field moves weekly. A static course is dead the day it's published; the eval framework you learn on Monday will have a new contender by Thursday. FirstNinety_ai is a living surface — the playbook a colleague would rewrite for you when the ground shifts, not a PDF that ages in a Drive folder.
This is not a course.
You've finished a course. You've shipped a side project. You've signed an offer. This is what comes next — the 90 days where you learn to work as an AI engineer inside a real organisation, with real stakeholders, real budgets, and real consequences. Bootcamp teaches you what AI can do. FirstNinety_ai teaches you how to be the person responsible for it in the room.
$39.99 per month.
The first three months of FirstNinety cost $120. The difference between losing your first tech job and keeping it costs less than one human coaching session per month. That’s the comparison worth making.
