About
AI Automation Society is a community of 450,000 people learning to build with AI. Courses, live sessions, events, and a certification, all in one place.
Most people learning AI are doing it alone, from tool reviews and threads pushed by people with something to sell. Here you learn from practitioners who ship this work for clients every week, and from members one step ahead of you.
You don't need a technical background. Nate Herk started in a business role at Goldman Sachs, taught himself, and built this community around one idea: if you can read, you can start.
