Questions, answered
Do I need any experience to start?
None. The free community and AI Foundations are built for complete beginners — then the path grows with you all the way to building AI for a living.
What's the difference between the courses and Academy Plus?
Courses are one-time purchases you own. Academy Plus is a membership that bundles all courses plus advanced templates, weekly live builds and the members' community.
Is the community really free?
Yes. The free community includes a mini-course, prompt packs and a weekly live. Paid tiers are for going deeper and faster.
Will this teach me to make money with AI?
The Operator track and mentorship are built for exactly that. We teach honestly — real skills and real outcomes, never income guarantees.
