a year ago, When I tried ai for the first time, it didn’t quite “click.” I knew it was this really powerful thing but didn't know how to use it properly.

As someone with zero coding knowledge, It was really frustrating when ai gave back errors and I kept asking to "fix it" repeatedly.

It wasn’t until a friend who knew this stuff actually sat with me and showed me how to build somehting real, that i saw all the cool things i could do with it. it was like i was given a superpower.

so, i spent a weekend building a project with it, which i honestly thought was stupid — it was basically a gallery of cold emails i'd collected across the internet, put up on a website called "The cold email hall of fame" (lol).

well, i posted that project online and it got over a million views on linkedin. a few months later, thousands of people were using it, and somehow it was making way more money than i'd ever made before. eventually, it got acquired by founders backed by sam altman (the guy behind open ai).

this was a path i'd never seen for myself before.

for the past 6 months I’ve helped 1000+ people build their ideas with ai, get paying users, and automate workflows in their life and business.

i''ve realized that the easiest way to keep up with ai is by building something real with it, in an environment where beginners help you get unstuck, and stay motivated.

that's why i built ai + frnds :)

it doesn't matter how much good ai can produce if we can't build an education system for the regular person to use it in life-changing ways.

this is my attempt to do that, by sharing the best practices and workflows into this cohort with a community to support you through the process of going from nothing to something with ai.
