Not your granddad's training

You don't need another overview. You need reps.

  • A day of slides and a certificate nobody checks
  • A "top 10 AI tools" webinar you forget by Friday
  • A consultant deck that is stale before the ink dries

One day, laptop open, experts at the next desk, working on your actual problem. You don't watch us build. You build.

What fluent means

Not which tool to buy. How to build.

Fluency is the moment you stop asking "is there an app for this?" and start making one.

Handle the easy 80% yourself

Most day-to-day problems are AI-solvable in an afternoon — once you know how to think about them. You will.

Build your own tool

Not a subscription to someone else’s app. A simple tool aimed at a specific problem in your work, built with your hands, that you can change tomorrow.

Know the tools

A practical, hands-on introduction to the AI tools worth your time — what each is good at, where it falls down, and which to reach for.

One day

Learn in the morning. Build by the afternoon.

Small room, one full day, lunch on us. You leave with something you made.

  1. Three people working through a system sketch on a whiteboard
    Morning

    Think like a builder

    How these models actually work, where they break, and how to talk to them so they don’t. Then we take the problems you brought and turn them into something buildable.

  2. A small group building together around one laptop
    Midday

    Get to know the tools

    Laptop open. A hands-on tour of the AI tools you’ll actually use — what each one is for, and how to get real work out of it — with an expert at the next desk.

  3. Three builders smiling at a working demo on demo day
    Afternoon

    Build your tool

    You build a basic AI tool aimed at the problem you brought. By 6pm it works — and you know how to build the next one without us.

Who's teaching

We've been building this for years.

You'll be in the room with the people who build AI tools for a living — not a trainer reading from a deck.

2012

First AI patent

Our founder has been patenting AI systems since before most people had heard the term. Multiple patents, over a decade of shipping.

Years

Building with AI daily

Not a course built last quarter. We build AI tools for clients every week — the class is what we actually do, taught.

Retail → Universities

Who we’ve built for

Small retail shops. Nationwide service companies and manufacturers. Flagship public universities. Same approach, every size.

Who it's for

No code background. Just a problem worth solving.

You’re comfortable with a computer. That’s the only prerequisite.
You have a real problem at work that keeps eating your week
You’re tired of waiting on IT, a vendor, or "the AI person"
You’d rather build it in a day than evaluate tools for three months

Pick your date

Questions

Straight answers before you reserve.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. If you are comfortable using a computer, you are ready. We teach you how to think about problems so AI can do the heavy lifting — and how to build simple AI tools without a programming background.

What should I bring?

A laptop and at least one real problem from your work — something repetitive, slow, or that you keep putting off. The best outcomes come from people who show up with a specific itch to scratch.

When and where is it?

In Knoxville, TN, on several dates — pick the one that works for you when you reserve. Roughly 9 to 6, with lunch included. Exact venue details come with your confirmation.

Is each day different?

No — it’s the same class on every date. Pick the one date that fits your schedule. (Want to send your team on different days? That works too.)

What does it cost, and what is included?

$375 for the day. That covers the class, hands-on time with our team, and lunch. Travel and lodging are on you.

Do I need my own AI accounts?

We will send a short setup list before class so you arrive ready. Some tools have free tiers; a few may need a modest paid plan. Nothing that costs more than lunch.

What if I need to cancel?

Seats are limited, so we ask for as much notice as you can give. Transfer your seat to a colleague anytime, or move to another date or a future class. Full refund details arrive with your confirmation.

Preston, founder of HumanAI

From the founder

“I’ve been building AI systems since 2012, and I’m sure of one thing: nobody gets fluent by watching. You get fluent by building something that matters to you, with someone beside you who’s done it a hundred times. That’s the whole class.

— Preston, founder of HumanAI

Built by HumanAI — fractional AI architects embedded in dozens of growing companies, from local retail to flagship public universities.

One day from now, you could be the one who builds it.

One day in Knoxville. Bring a problem. Leave with a solution — and the fluency to make the next one.
