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

Three days, 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 solution shaped to your work, built with your hands, that you can change tomorrow.

Build your own agent

Give AI a job, a set of tools, and the judgment to do it without you in the loop. You’ll ship one before you leave.

Three days

Learn in the morning. Build by the afternoon.

Small room, long days, lunch and dinner on us. Every session ends with something you made.

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

    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
    Day 2

    Build your tool

    Laptop open all day. You build a real solution to a real problem with an expert at the next desk. By dinner it works.

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

    Build your agent. Ship it.

    Give AI a job and the tools to do it on its own. You leave with something running — and the skills 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 and agents 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 three days than evaluate tools for three months

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 tools and agents 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?

September 22–24, 2026, in Knoxville, TN. Three full days, roughly 9 to 6, with lunch and dinner included. Exact venue details come with your confirmation.

What does it cost, and what is included?

$2,000 for all three days. That covers the class, hands-on time with our team, and lunch and dinner each day. 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.

How is this different from Hope?

Hope is your ongoing AI + human coach — a relationship that compounds over months. The Intensive is three days in a room, building. Plenty of people do both, but neither requires the other.

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 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.

Three days from now, you could be the one who builds it.

Sept 22–24 in Knoxville. Bring a problem. Leave with a solution — and the fluency to make the next one.
