Your build is the syllabus.
Tell it what you are making and the course arranges itself around that. One path from never-touched-it to shipping real things and charging for them, with exercises that leave a working file behind and tests that write new questions when you keep getting one wrong.
Every video free on YouTube. 51 written lessons free without an account.
Most AI courses teach you to talk to a chatbot.
This one teaches you to build things with it, price the work, and get paid. Same course, start to finish.
Every exercise leaves a file behind
No "ask the model to explain itself to a ten-year-old". Each lesson is one step of one real build, and it ends with something on your disk: a spec, a test set, a working script, a deployed page.
Every fact comes from the maker's own page
Prices, limits, model names and endpoints are taken from the source documentation with the date they were checked. Where a company does not publish a number, the lesson says so instead of inventing one.
Marked properly, not ticked off
Get something wrong and it re-teaches the exact thing you missed, then writes a fresh question on the same idea. You cannot pass by memorising the answers.
Runs on your own AI
Plug in your own key, or connect a subscription you already pay for. The tutor, the marking and the playground all run on it, so there are no credits to buy from me. Claude, ChatGPT, Grok, Gemini, or a model on your own machine.
Written for an adult
No cartoons, no "let's dive in", no chapter that takes forty minutes to say one thing. Lessons run 1,400 to 2,200 words and go to the mechanism.
It teaches debugging and security
Whole tracks on finding out why something does not work, and on keeping what you build from being taken apart. Then getting paid: what businesses buy, what to charge, and what to put in writing.
I am taking this course while I teach it.
I did not come from tech. I have built real systems — a multi-tenant platform with proper database isolation, a live conversational agent, this course — and I learned every part of it the way you are about to.
So the lessons are filmed as I go. You get the written lesson here and the video on YouTube, free, including the parts where something breaks and I have to work out why.
- A working assistant that answers from your own documents, with sources quoted
- A test set you score every change against
- The same job running on two vendors, so nobody owns you
- A database where one customer cannot read another's rows, proved with two accounts
- Payments where access is unlocked by the webhook and never by the browser
- Three priced offers, a proposal, and a marketplace profile
