Your Instructor
Diego Lopes
Most AI courses are taught by people who read about AI.
This one is taught by someone who builds companies with it.
Diego Lopes has spent 20+ years at the intersection of technology, creativity, and education. He directed films screened at Cannes, Cairo, and Nashville. He built a Comedy Central series. He pioneered Virtual Production in Latin America before most people knew what it was.
When AI hit an inflection point, he didn't just observe — he built. Intercept, a health app with 65+ screens, adaptive AI coaching, Apple Health integration, and real-time behavioral analytics, was built with the exact same tools you'll learn in the course. Not a demo. Not a prototype. A real product, launching in 2026.
He's not here to tell you AI is the future. He's here to hand you the tools and walk you through building something real — in five days.
The Path
20 years of making complex
technology actually work.
Award-Winning Filmmaker
Directed and produced 20+ films screened at Cannes, Cairo, Nashville, Bogotá, and 50+ international festivals. Created a Comedy Central series. Built a YouTube channel with 6M+ views. Learned how to tell stories that move people.
Educator & Program Designer
Spent 10 years as Course Director at Centro Europeu, designing academic programs in Digital Media, Game Development, and Digital Film. Trained hundreds of professionals entering new industries. Learned how to make complex technology accessible.
Technology Pioneer
Early adopter of VR for industrial training in 2015. In 2020, positioned VCanvas as one of the first Virtual Production companies in Latin America — requiring clients, agencies, and teams to completely rethink how they work.
AI Builder
When AI hit an inflection point, everything changed. Built Intercept — a health app with 65+ screens, adaptive AI coaching, and Apple Health integration — using the same tools taught in the course. Now launching multiple AI products in 2026.
Why does any of this matter
for your AI course?
Because teaching AI isn't about knowing the tools. It's about knowing how to take someone from “I don't know where to start” to “I just built something real” — in days, not months.
Diego has done this his entire career. In film, in education, in virtual production, and now in AI. Every technology he's touched, he's made accessible to people who thought it wasn't for them.
500+ professionals trained. 10 years designing learning programs. 20+ years turning complex technology into practical adoption. The AI course is simply the latest chapter in a career built on one idea:
Technology is only as valuable as the people
who know how to use it.
