No Hype AI
Does your AI actually work?
Hands-on AI lessons and coaching — from the basics of prompting and context management, through agents and orchestration, to running your own local models. Vendor-neutral, and taught by a senior practitioner.
No hype, just experience from 13 years of hands-on AI and 30 years building and delivering software.

The courses
Nine courses, free to read. Each one ends with a job you can do.
Master AI-assisted development — from philosophy to production workflows with Claude, Cursor, and Codex.
AI for professionals — how PMs, analysts, accountants, and non-developers can maximise AI tools in their daily work.
Get the most from Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, Gemini, and other AI applications — power user workflows for everyone.
Understand and build AI agents — autonomous systems that plan, act, and learn from their environment.
Multi-agent systems, workflows, and pipelines — coordinate fleets of AI agents for complex tasks.
Can you really run AI on your own hardware? Yes. Learn to deploy, fine-tune, and use local language models.
There's more than just chatbots — explore ML, computer vision, NLP, and why classical AI is still relevant in 2026.
Build retrieval-augmented generation systems — embeddings, vector databases, knowledge graphs, and semantic search.
Design AI-powered products — UX patterns, when to use AI, user trust, and building products people actually want.
