Ethan’s one of the few AI voices I actually trust. No hype, no BS—just real, useful and timely stuff that works. He breaks things down without dumbing them down. I’ve learned a ton from him and even sent a few clients his way, which says a lot. If you’re trying to get smarter with AI without losing your sanity, his community is a great place to be.

I've been in tutorial hell on youtube these last few months re learning all I can about AI. Problem is this does not move the needle re helping me grow an AI business. Ethan at AI University has helped me gain much needed clarity without the overwhelm. Loving the new framework he has just released in the classroom and more importantly the weekly calls he does. I now have a pathway to grow my AI Business. I highly recommend checking out his university

I have landed my first client in 3 days. This morning I took my motorbike to a local service shop here in Sydney. While I was there, I noticed they still keep all of their client records in a massive book... I saw a huge opportunity, so I just started asking questions. One thing led to another and the conversation naturally shifted to how I could help streamline their process. The owner's eyes lit up when I explained how automation could alleviate some of the pressure on his team.

Just minutes after a major cloud provider denied my production email request, Ethan dropped Module 2 on Email Infrastructure Setup. The timing couldn’t have been better. I followed the steps exactly and got everything up and running. Every module speaks directly to the challenges I face in my agency—practical, timely, and game-changing. Thank you Ethan.

I've only been in the community for about a week but I can see the work that Ethan has put in to creating the content. Ethan has a different approach to learning, teaching and working. His material is not some rehashed crap that every "guru" on YouTube throws out there to get clicks. Some of the technical stuff is over my head now but as time goes I'll understand the framework of setting up a business online.

After sharing my recent win during Coffee Hour, I wanted to share the strategy that helped me grow from about 1k MRR to 13k MRR in just three months... I scraped several job boards, including Indeed, using 'Apify,' searching for keywords like 'automate,' 'Zapier,' and 'Airtable.'... Since these companies are already mentioning these tools, it's a strong indicator they might need support.

For context — it took about 40-50 outreach emails to land the first 2 gigs. Jonathan is the man... absolutely crushing it in the space.

Let’s Be Honest

You Know AI Is The Biggest Opportunity Of Your Career. You Just Haven't Made A Dollar From It.

Consuming AI content daily but still trading time for money the same old way

No idea what to actually sell — automation? Content? Chatbots? It all sounds saturated

Watching people with half your skill sign $3k/month AI retainers on LinkedIn

Built impressive AI demos that nobody has ever paid you for

Started outreach once, got no replies, and quietly went back to the old grind

Every month without an offer is another month at $0 while the window closes

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need coding or technical experience?

No coding required. The install is guided click-by-click, the Claude Code course starts from zero, and unlimited tech support means a Loom or screen-share is always available when something breaks.

How much time will this take each week?

Most members spend a few focused hours a week. The OS install is guided and front-loaded; after that you progress module by module at your own pace, and the weekly call is 60 minutes when you can make it.

What if the AI tools change after I build this?

That's exactly why you build a system rather than a stack of one-off automations. Your OS, memory, and processes are tool-agnostic — when a new model or tool arrives, you plug it into what already exists instead of starting over.

Can't I just learn this on YouTube?

You can learn fragments. What YouTube won't give you is a structured path, pre-built systems ready to deploy, direct access when you're stuck, or the accountability to actually finish. The difference is watching tutorials versus having infrastructure running.

Is this right for me?

This is for people who want to get paid for AI — tired of collecting skills without income and ready to launch one real offer. You don't need an audience or past clients; the outreach systems work from a standing start.

I already run an agency or freelance. Is this still for me?

Yes — you'll use the same playbook to productize what you already sell, raise prices, and cut delivery time with AI systems. Many members join specifically to turn project work into retainers.

How long is the program?

It's an ongoing monthly membership, not a cohort. Stay while it's paying for itself; cancel anytime with no lock-in.

Still got questions? Everything’s answered inside — and you can cancel anytime.
