Everything you want to know
Comprehensive answers about the AI Bootcamp, the private community, and our consulting & training services. If you still have a question, email us at info@cognessa.ai.
Bootcamp
Q1.What exactly is the AI for Business Bootcamp?
A 10-day, 25-hour live program that blends managerial thinking with applied AI. You move from diagnosis (SWOT/PESTEL/7S + AI) to solution design, governance, and hands-on building of AI assistants tailored to your work.
Q2.Who is it for?
Leaders, consultants, and business developers who want to steer AI initiatives—not just use tools. Seats are limited to keep discussions deep and practical.
Q3.What is the program language?
The bootcamp is delivered in Arabic with select terms explained bilingually. The website and documentation are in English.
Q4.Is it live online? Are sessions recorded?
Yes, it’s live and highly interactive. Recordings may be provided for a limited window when possible; live attendance is strongly recommended.
Q5.How big is each cohort?
Small, curated groups to enable deep interaction, timely feedback, and meaningful peer discussions.
Q6.Do I need a technical background?
No coding required. You’ll build practical AI assistants with guided templates. You only need a laptop and stable internet.
Q7.What will I build?
A working set of AI assistants and a capstone project tailored to your context—useful the very next day at work.
Q8.Is there an assessment?
Yes. A 100-question standardised check covering the full journey—concepts, strategy, and hands-on work—plus feedback on your capstone.
Q9.Do I receive a certificate?
This isn’t an academic credential. We provide a completion record and summary of your assessment/capstone for your portfolio.
Q10.Can my team attend as a private cohort?
Yes—private, company-specific cohorts are available. See Services or email info@cognessa.ai.
Community
Q11.What is the Cognessa Collective?
An invitation-only community for elite thinking on AI strategy. Entry requires attending the Bootcamp at least once.
Q12.What happens inside?
- Deep-dive discussions, office-hour style sessions, and expert salons.
- Private content stream (playbooks, prompts, case studies).
- Collaboration and deal-flow opportunities among vetted peers.
Q13.Is there a membership fee?
Founding cohorts receive lifetime access without recurring fees. Future cohorts may vary.
Q14.Can I invite others?
Yes—once you’re inside, you can refer senior professionals who match the bar. All members follow a strict, no-noise code of conduct.
Consulting & Training

Yes. We scope, design, and help deliver AI initiatives—operating models, governance, capability building, and measurable outcomes.
Q16.Do you design custom training for companies and teams?
