Build Your Personal Intelligence System in 4 Weeks
The gap between AI users and AI system builders is widening. OpenAI found power users aren't just prompting more, they've built infrastructure.
No matter where you are with AI today, this course closes that gap for you.
Four functions. Four weeks. One system that scales with your work.
THINK : Understand how to shape AI's thinking
REMEMBER - Use Context engineering to build systems of memory
ACT - Build workflows and Agents that execute for you
USE TOOLS - Connect AI to your apps (Notion, n8n, Email/calendars, databases) - wherever your work lives
Use No-Code tools (ChatGPT/Claude + Make/n8n) and Claude Code (terminal + agents) to build a working system that:
Researches and plans for you in minutes, not hours.
Writes and publishes content in your own voice, no slop.
Reduces information overload by automating tasks.
⚡️ 84% of executives say AI skills are the top way to ensure job security.
⚡️ By the end of this course, you’re not just ‘AI literate’, you’re one of the few people with a real intelligence system wired into your work, visibly increasing your value in your company and the market.
⚡️ HANDS-ON BUILDING, NO TECHNICAL SKILLS REQUIRED.

Testimonials
I entered the AIin30 pilot program feeling a bit intimidated by AI and what it could do, but the thoughtful structure and pacing of the course quickly helped me feel comfortable. Sash did an excellent job explaining each step in a clear, approachable way, and I never felt lost or overwhelmed by the terminology, even coming from a non-tech, non-corporate background. I’m truly grateful for the confidence it gave me to learn, understand, and implement AI in a way that feels healthy, responsible and empowering. During the course I gained the confidence to start using AI to create a business plan for an idea I have been sitting on for years.

Fitness EntreprenuerThe pilot course was perfectly paced for busy professionals who want to dive into GenAI . It provides a strong foundation to start exploring, then expand on your own work and go deeper into orchestration with AI. Well done, Sash!
