Everything you'd ask before you apply.
Short, honest answers. If yours isn't here, the founder reads every email.
The basics
What is Miatz?
Miatz is a selective, founder-led engineering institute that trains T-shaped, AI-native engineers — people who can architect, build, operate and own entire digital systems using AI, and prove it with an auditable record. It's a Demystify Systems company. Read the manifesto →
How do you pronounce it?
MEE-ahts. The idea: we demystify software, and you leave with 'miatz' — hard-won judgment worth paying for.
Who is Miatz for?
Aspiring and early-career engineers who want real judgment, not another certificate — and companies who want to hire or train them. For students →
Admissions & cost
What is the DSAT?
The Demystify Systems Aptitude Test — our admission gate. It filters for reasoning, product sense and attention to detail, not syntax recall. Miatz is selective on purpose.
Is it really free?
Yes — founding cohorts pay nothing: no fees, no income-share, no card on file. We want proof and community before pricing. Why it's free →
Do I need a degree or experience?
No. The DSAT measures how you think, not your résumé. We've built the curriculum to take a motivated beginner all the way.
The method
How does the training actually work?
A daily loop: spaced-repetition recall, a focused chapter, one coding rep, a journal — plus a Saturday review ritual, mastery gates you must clear, five AI labs, and War-Room incident drills. The full method →
What is the 'personal memory engine'?
Everything you study, journal and decide is indexed into a personal RAG. The AI tutor answers grounded in your own history — you study on your own memory.
What is Mysty?
Mysty is your AI shadow engineer: it works propose-and-approve on real tasks, explains in context, and logs every decision to your auditable record. Meet Mysty →
What are War Rooms?
Incident-response drills built on real, documented industry outages. You run the call — diagnose, mitigate, communicate, write the postmortem — and get graded. See War Rooms →
Proof & hiring
What is the Itz'at?
A cryptographically signed proof-of-judgment credential, backed by an auditable record of your real decisions — verifiable by any employer in one click. About the credential →
Can companies hire from Miatz?
Yes — you hire engineers with a demonstrated judgment record, not a certificate. You can also train your own team on our engine. Hire from us →
Can my company train its team here?
Yes. The same engine grooms corporate teams onto any new product, migration or topic, with Mysty shadowing and readiness telemetry. Miatz for corporates →
