Real stories
Student Testimonials
From scattered AI courses to feeling empowered.
Prior to taking this class, I was taking courses here, there, everywhere, but nothing seemed to stick. This class really has changed my mindset. I feel like I am empowered.
The possibilities finally became visible.
You don't know what you don't know until someone comes along and teaches you what the possibilities are. I can't thank Jai enough for opening my eyes to what's possible with AI.

The Third Door
Sneaking into the United Nations
I snuck into the United Nations. Seriously. In November 2022, I started building a course about how AI would impact the future of knowledge and creative work. By May 2024, I had found my way to a UN roundtable and spoke after Vikas Khanna, the famous chef, left early to prepare dinner for visiting dignitaries. I was not invited. The nameplate was still his, but I knew what I had to say mattered.
01 Years before the hype
The clip opens by placing the work before ChatGPT and inside a decade of startup practice.
02 Persistence in the room
The moment is imperfect, but the pursuit is clear: make the point anyway while the mic is live.
03 The point that mattered
LLMs can reformat knowledge across medicine, research, learning, and multimodal health data.
What I saw this day changed how I approach life and business. Not because anything profound happened, but because of what I saw that was missing.

Transformation Notes
From 2.5 years of nothing to a first successful event.
I had dream that everyone was telling me to give up on when I started working with Jai. TWO AND HALF YEARS OF WORK and nothing to show for it. Three months later, I threw my first successful event.
From 4-hour nightly planning to less guilt.
I used to spend 4 hours every night planning my day and catching up on tasks, only to watch it all fall apart by lunchtime the next day. Jai taught me that my environment was fighting against me.
From scared of AI to having a thinking partner.
The day Jai showed me how to think WITH AI instead of just using AI tools, everything clicked. I went from being scared of being replaced to feeling like I had a thinking partner.
