Welcome. I'm glad you're here. The next decade of work belongs to people who can build their own AI tools — in plain English, on their laptop, without renting frameworks or waiting for permission. A newsletter business. A consulting practice. A YouTube channel that writes itself. A one-person business that runs while you sleep. Foundation is the setup. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 🛠️ What you actually need A Claude subscription.

Introduce yourself. Three things — short answers are fine: 1. What you do (job, role, retired, parent, student, career-changer — anything goes) 2. What recurring task in your week would you give to AI tomorrow 3. One thing about AI you're trying to figure out right now I'll reply to every single one. Read other people's introductions too — the person stuck on what you're stuck on might already be here. I'll go first. I'm Pragati — 20 years building AI at IBM Watson and Nike. 30,000+ students taught on Udemy and Coursera. Adobe Stock contributor. A handful of one-person businesses, all running on Claude Code Skills. Here to teach non-coders one thing: how to make your first SKILL.md file on your laptop by Saturday lunch. Excited to learn from you all.
