FDE Lab by AI Minority · Private preview
Practice deploying AI in a realistic enterprise.
Prove what you can do.
Practical enterprise AI training where your workflow changes operational state—and the outcome can be evaluated.
Build locally with any model or framework. Connect your workflow to stateful company APIs, handle real policies, permissions, failures, and business consequences, and receive an objective deployment result. Lab accounts are open in private preview while the complete free exercise is still being built.
How FDE Lab works
Build. Deploy. Prove.
The Lab supplies the company, operational data, policies, failures, and evaluation. You supply the workflow and make the deployment decisions.
- 01
Build
Create your workflow locally with any model, framework, or programming language. FDE Lab does not host or prescribe your agent stack.
- 02
Deploy
Connect to a stateful simulated company through documented APIs. Investigate evidence, apply policy, and perform consequential work.
- 03
Prove
Submit the resulting enterprise state for deterministic evaluation. See what worked, what failed, and the outcome your workflow produced.
Who it is for
Built for engineers responsible for making AI work outside the demo.
AI Engineers
Practice reliability, tool execution, state, and evaluation.
Forward Deployed Engineers
Turn ambiguous customer problems into measurable operational outcomes.
Solutions Engineers
Move from a convincing demonstration to a controlled deployment.
AI Consultants
Deliver working evidence of value instead of another strategy deck.
Training and evidence
Practice consequential work. Leave with proof.
01
What you practice
- Enterprise API integration
- Permissions and authority boundaries
- Policy-aware operational decisions
- Retries, failures, and side effects
- Human escalation and outcome evaluation
02
What you leave with
- A working enterprise integration
- An objective assessment result
- A deployment report and failure analysis
- A shareable result when that feature launches
- A verifiable Certificate of Completion when the assessment launches
First free exercise
Safe Refund Agent
An overloaded support organization wants to automate straightforward refund requests without increasing incorrect or duplicate refunds.
Start the free exerciseControlled failure 504
The refund API timed out. Did the request fail—or did your workflow pay twice?
Investigate customer evidence, apply policy, take permitted actions, and prove the resulting enterprise outcome. The timeout is one production-style pressure inside the exercise—not the definition of the Lab.
