How this is different from other AI courses
Plenty of courses will show you an AI tool. Here’s what you get here instead.
Most AI courses
This course
Most AI courses: Hand you a template to copy
This course: Teach you how to plan any project from scratch, so you don’t need a template
Most AI courses: Teach tricks for one tool, which change every few months
This course: Teach how software is put together, which stays true when the tools change
Most AI courses: Everyone builds the same demo app
This course: You design and build your own idea, your way
Most AI courses: Big online cohorts or lecture halls
This course: In person, at most 16 people, with hands-on help when you’re stuck
Most AI courses: Stop once it runs on your laptop
This course: Put it on the internet, and learn how to check that it actually works
Most AI courses: Assume you already know some tech
This course: Built for complete beginners, from teens to retirees
