AI upskilling that ends in running systems.
Five to eight of your people, 90 days, on their own jobs: each builder ships at least two automations into production. Priced on the call after a two-week Scan, mainly by the number of builders.
Five kinds of program, by what is left at day 90
From using AI tools to changing your own work.
An AI upskilling program teaches employees to use AI in their own work. Most stop at literacy: courses, licences, a certificate. The useful ones end with people who change how their work gets done, and systems that keep running after the program.
The need is wide. In the World Economic Forum’s Future of Jobs Report 2025 (January 2025, more than 1,000 employers surveyed), 59 of every 100 workers will need training by 2030, and 11 of them are unlikely to get it.
DECISION AID
Which kind of AI upskilling program fits your team?
Four questions, under a minute. Two of the six answers are formats we do not sell. Before you answer: for a few people who should build on their own jobs, with an idea of where the hours go, the answer is the 90-day program. For literacy across many people, licences.

Five kinds of program compared
| Kind | Cost (public figures) | Duration | What is left at day 90 |
|---|---|---|---|
| E-learning licences | Udemy Business Team plan: $360 per person a year, for 2 to 50 people; larger plans are quoted | Self-paced, a yearly licence | Knowledge and course completions |
| An in-house program | Your team’s time, plus licences | Set by your L&D | Knowledge and completions, sometimes exercises |
| Workshops or a bootcamp | Coding bootcamps average $14,142 per person (Course Report); workshops vary | Bootcamps about 14 weeks; workshops vary | Exercises done |
| Our 90-day program | Priced on the call after the Scan; the number of builders drives it | 90 days, about 3 hours a week per builder | Systems in production (two or more per builder) and people inside who build the next one |
| Managed outcomes (AI Jungle, same team) | Priced by AI Jungle | Ongoing | Systems in production, run by the vendor |
What changes above 50 people
One cohort stays five to eight builders; it does not grow to cover everyone. The rest of the organisation is reached through what the builders hand over: module 8 trains each builder to teach colleagues, the playbooks and the agent library stay with the company, and the named referent keeps the standard. For basic AI literacy across hundreds of people, run licences or an in-house program alongside.
What the program teaches
Four abilities, each on the participant’s real job:
- 01 · DIAGNOSE Read a job as a system and choose the problem worth solving first.
- 02 · BUILD Assemble a pragmatic stack with the minimum governance that keeps it safe.
- 03 · OPERATE Run it in production: exceptions, monitoring, and who is told when something fails.
- 04 · TRANSFER Hand it over with playbooks and a named internal referent who continues after us.
The 90 days, module by module
Twelve one-week modules over 13 weeks. Each builder spends about 3 hours a week: the week’s content, one real mission on their own job and the one-hour group office hour. The mission is their job, better tooled, not extra work.
| Weeks | Modules | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| 1–4 | 1. Read a company as a builder · 2. The AI opportunity portfolio · 3. Business case and ROI | A diagnosis approved by leadership |
| 5–10 | 4. Anatomy of a business AI system · 5. Assemble a pragmatic stack (n8n, Claude, APIs, CRM) · 6. Data, access and security: minimum governance · 7. Change management · 8. Train your colleagues · 9. Measure adoption and prove value | Systems in production on real processes, colleagues using them, a before-and-after baseline |
| 11–13 | 10. Daily operations · 11. Continuous improvement and costs · 12. Governance and roadmap: becoming the internal referent | An operations log and a signed six-month roadmap |
Start with the Builder Scan
Two weeks inside your company: a leadership interview, about 30 minutes with each person on the team, and the real flows rather than slides. You get the role map, the builders identified, a priced business case and a written recommendation, even if it is “not us”. It is credited in full against the program if you continue within 60 days, and you keep the diagnostic either way.

If the Scan finds no builder profiles, we tell you straight and we do not sell you the program. If what you need is the work done rather than people who build, that is AI Jungle, our sister service. AI Jungle →
How the result is measured
Before the first build, each builder records how long the task takes today. At the end, the same measure is taken again, along with adoption (is the system used every week), costs, exceptions handled, and ownership (a named person maintains it). A course completion is not a result.
Who runs it
Loïc Guyon, the operator behind LearnAIthing, who builds and runs AI agents for client firms, leads the build reviews; Sensei, the program’s tutor, keeps each builder’s progress and blockers between sessions. More about Loïc →
What is proven, and what is not yet
The operator practice and the delivery infrastructure are real. The repeatable transformation of non-technical employees at cohort scale is the hypothesis the founding cohorts are designed to validate; there are no cohort results to quote yet. Read the evidence page →
What leaders ask us
Why is the Builder Scan paid when the Builder Check is free?
They are two different things. The Builder Check is a three-minute self-assessment: free, with no email. The Builder Scan is two weeks of our time inside your company, and it is not free on purpose: a free audit has to sell something to pay for itself, while a paid one can recommend “not us”. You keep the diagnostic whether or not you continue.
Does the Scan commit us to the program?
No. There is no commitment beyond the two weeks; the credit against the program is an option that belongs to you.
How much time does the program take from our builders?
Each builder works on their own job rather than on exercises, with one mission and one build review a week; the rest of the team carries on as usual.
