Best of Live Q&A gives you clear answers to real questions from live AI product sessions. You see how engineers solve problems, avoid common traps, and ship working tools.

What You Learn

You learn how real teams move from ideas to stable AI systems. Each topic comes from work done in production.

Build Real Products

  • Move from hype to working AI features.
  • Grow a no-code MVP into a full product.
  • Set up simple and safe release steps.

Automate Your Workflow

  • Use GitHub Actions for checks and deploys.
  • Build basic CI/CD flows.
  • Create small tools for scraping and data tasks.

Set Up Your Infra

  • Run apps with Docker.
  • Host and manage your own AI models.

Build Better AI Systems

  • Move past “vibe coding” with simple tests.
  • Test AI‑native apps with clear steps.
  • Check and improve how AI agents behave.

Each lesson comes from real work. You see what breaks, what scales, and what you need to fix before you ship.

Who teaches Best of Live Q&A? Zen van Riel

Zen van Riel thumbnail

I am focused on creating AI systems that truly work in production, rather than remaining at the demo level.

As a software engineer, I work on scaling real AI solutions in production at GitHub, and I also teach developers how to adapt to the future by practically implementing artificial intelligence.

Besides my main work, I am developing AI Native Engineer — my YouTube channel and community, where I share applied AI development skills.

My experience:

  • Over 5 years of developing and implementing cloud solutions
  • Deep expertise in LLMs, cloud architecture, and full-stack AI systems
  • Experience in creating and scaling AI products

I am convinced that the best engineers use AI not only as a tool to accelerate development but also as a foundation for creating new features and AI-native platforms that solve real problems.
