Automate your business first. Everyone who works with you gets the hours back.
In the quiz's words: Founder/owner · Automate repetitive work in my business · Evenings/weekends, I have a job
Evening · Agency, framed for an owner: automate your own business first over six weeks of evenings, with the agency lessons as the way to write down what your systems do for your team and your customers.
The AI Automation Agency Bootcamp, for founders and owners. You don't practise on a made-up company: lesson 1 is the HAS audit on your own week, and every build after it can use your own documents, customer questions and tools. Lessons and guided labs online, at your own pace. Check-in calls with engineers on Zoom, Monday to Wednesday, 7–9pm PT, where you bring your questions and get unstuck. Demo Day every Thursday at 7pm PT, in person at 1769 15th Street or on Zoom from anywhere, where everyone comes to show their build.
Start any time. Be the first in your company to bring this in, and the benefit multiplies through everyone around you. You finish with the automation running in your business, not in a slide.
Learn online. Come for the community.

“Exceptionally worthwhile. Immediate, practical benefits implemented directly into my business.”
2 programs · 4 tracks · 6 modules · 25 workbook chapters · lessons online · check-in calls with engineers on Zoom · Demo Day in person in San Francisco, free
Two programs. Four tracks. Start any time.
The course is the same for everyone: about 14 hours of video and 17 hours of hands-on labs. The videos are the lectures: you watch them at home on weekday evenings, whenever suits you, and do the guided lab under each one. Study evenings are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Friday is individual work: a study evening on your own. Thursday is always Demo Day. Never weekends, never federal holidays.
Pick a program, then a track.
AI Career Bootcamp is the six core modules: for people adding AI skills to grow in their job, or just exploring. AI Automation Agency Bootcamp is the core plus the agency lessons: for people who want their own clients or want to automate their own company. Each program comes in two tracks: the Intensive, a full week or more at full speed, and the Evening track around a job. Every track starts now: lessons open the minute you pay. You build at home, and Monday to Wednesday, 7–9pm PT, our engineers run check-in calls on Zoom, one topic a night, where you bring your questions. Your program decides which lessons you get. Your time decides how many weeks of calls.
Every track ends the same way. You start a capstone project on day 1: what you can automate for yourself, your company or your clients. You leave with an AI agency portfolio: tuned AI agents and web assets you can demo to clients or in interviews. What you choose is the track that fits your time and your goal. On every track, check-in calls with our engineers on Zoom, Monday to Wednesday evenings, answer your questions and keep you building. Demo Days are free, always, even after you graduate. Prices for each track are on the hub.

Only “a few minutes here and there”? Start with the self-paced course or the free lessons, and join a track when your weeks open up.
See the self-paced course →Every track ends with a certificate you can add to your LinkedIn profile, with a link anyone can open to verify it.
Every track includes Demo Day, a live demo night every Thursday: in person at 1769 15th Street if you are in San Francisco, or on Zoom from anywhere. Free, always. After your weeks end, the lessons, recordings and chat stay yours, and membership keeps the check-in calls. You do not need every call: come to the one whose theme matches what you are building.
Your capstone: The automation your business was waiting for, running
Lesson 1 is the HAS audit on your own week, so the capstone is never a made-up company: it is the one task you chose to take off your plate, built, deployed and tested. The agency lessons then do double duty: you write it up as an offer, which is exactly how you explain it to your team, hand it to the next hire, or sell the same system to businesses like yours.
Demo Day prompt
“Pitch your offer.”
Every Thursday at 7pm PT, in person at 1769 15th Street or on Zoom.
The check-in nights that matter
Monday is the night not to miss: the Agency check-in call with Lex, where your offer, pricing and outreach get worked on. Tuesday (Claude Code, with Sergei) and Wednesday (Workflow, with Kheir) finish the systems you will sell.
What you take away
A running automation in your own business, its eval, and the offer that describes it.
In a hurry? The Intensive.
Start now and go full-time: lessons and guided labs at home all day, every Monday to Wednesday check-in call in the evening, 7–9pm PT, and Demo Day on Thursday. Two weeks for the AI Career program (Intensive · Core), three weeks for the AI Automation Agency program, with your offer out by the end (Intensive · Agency).
Prices on the hub · Payment plans available.
Watch. Build. Show.
Watch.
Start with short video lessons and read the matching chapter of the AISA Bootcamp Workbook, which you get with your seat. The videos come from the instructors who work with each tool. All six modules are open to you.
Build.
Under the video is a hands-on task. You do it on your own laptop, on your own example, at whatever hour you have. A short quiz confirms the idea landed. Then you submit what you built for automatic feedback: what is solid, what is missing, and what to try next. It is guidance. It is not a grade and it never blocks you from the next lesson.
Show.
Bring the work to a check-in call on Zoom, Monday to Wednesday, 7 to 9pm PT, where an engineer answers your questions and builds with you. Show what you built at Demo Day on Thursday, in person at the school in San Francisco or on Zoom from anywhere. Stuck between calls? Bring what broke to the next one.
What a lesson looks like
I want to learn the HAS Audit (Human Agency Scale Audit), a way to choose which tasks in my week to hand to AI and which to keep human. First, ask me in one message what my business or job is and which 3 tasks take most of my week. Wait for my answer. Then explain these ideas in plain language, using only my 3 tasks as examples: 1. The Human Agency Scale, from H1 (Full Automation) to H5 (Human Essential). Make clear it measures how much I WANT a person involved, not what AI CAN do. 2. The four zones from crossing my desire with AI capability: Green Light, R&D Opportunity, Red Light, Low Priority. 3. Why the task gets chosen before the tool. End with 3 short questions that check whether I understood. Do not answer them for me.
Every lesson has prompts like this one. You paste them into Claude or ChatGPT, do the task on your own example, then submit the result to Check my work for feedback in minutes.
- Watch A short video, cut from the live lectures.
- Read The matching chapter of the AISA Bootcamp Workbook.
- Follow The prompts and the task on your own laptop.
- Check my work Submit it and get feedback. Guidance, not a grade.
Six modules, and what you build in each.
Both programs share the same six core modules; the Agency tracks add the agency lessons: client audit, offer, pricing and outreach. Pick a module to see its workbook chapters, what you build, and a clip from the lecture.

Lex Mustafin, founder of AI START academy. Foundations, Claude Code, deployment, content and the agency launch module. Lex taught himself to code, built and sold a startup that went through the 500 accelerator, founded the software company Custom Product Builder, and mentors founders at 500 Global and Draper University. He runs the Monday check-in call.
Sergei Zdorenko, founder of AIOS Cortex, an AI automation agency in San Francisco. Claude Code and agents; he runs the Tuesday check-in call.
Bogdan Red, CTO at CQR Cybersecurity. Cybersecurity and OpenClaw.
Kheir Lazaref. n8n and voice agents: Vapi, ElevenLabs, Twilio. He runs the Wednesday check-in call.
The lessons are online. The people are not an afterthought.
Check-in calls with engineers, Monday to Wednesday, 7–9pm PT, on Zoom. Monday is the agency call with Lex, Tuesday the Claude Code call with Sergei, Wednesday the workflow call with Kheir. Bring your own project and your questions; an engineer helps you get it working. You build alongside people one week in and people five weeks in.
Demo Day, every Thursday at 7pm PT, in person. Everyone comes to show their build. It is the AI Automation Agency Meetup, at the school: 1769 15th Street, in the Mission, about five minutes from 16th St BART, and on Zoom. It is free for every student and graduate, always.
Online, wherever you are. The lessons and the check-in calls are on Zoom, and every call is recorded. Demo Day is on Zoom too.

You don't practise on a made-up company. You practise on yours.
Lesson 1 is the HAS Audit: one real week of your own tasks, scored for what you want AI to take and what AI can do today. You leave it with a ranked list of what to automate first.
Every build after that runs in your business: an n8n automation that starts on a new lead or a form and finishes without you, a chatbot that answers from your own documents, a voice agent that can answer your phone, a project built with Claude Code and live on the internet, a security review of what your agents can see, and an eval that tells you whether the system still does the job after you change it.
The agency lessons do double duty for an owner: writing your automation up as an offer is how you explain it to your team, hand it to the next hire, and get found by customers who now ask ChatGPT instead of Google. If you later want to sell the same systems to businesses like yours, you will already have the offer.
An honest read before you pay.
It fits if you:
- run a business and have one task you are tired of doing by hand
- want to build the automation yourself, so you can run and change it later
- can protect a few hours a week, plus a check-in call or two
- want your team to get the hours back, not just a demo
It is not for you if you:
- want someone to build it for you. Buildateam, further down this page, is the separate done-for-you option
- want a figure for hours or money saved. We don't promise one. It depends on your business and on what you choose to automate
- cannot protect a few hours a week. The lessons flex, but they still need doing
- want videos only, with no group and no live calls. The self-paced course on the hub is the better fit
Would rather have it built for you?
Some owners want the automation, not the course. For them there is Buildateam: a separate done-for-you service run by the same founder, Lex Mustafin. Buildateam audits where your business loses time, then builds and deploys the automation and hands it over with documentation. Its clients have included Ferrari USA.
It is not part of AI START academy and it is not included in any track. If you want to learn to build it yourself, the bootcamp is the better buy. If you want it built, ask Buildateam for an audit and say you came from the academy.
Ask Buildateam for an audit →The questions people ask us on the phone.
"My schedule is the problem."
There is no class schedule to fit around. Start now and do the online lessons at the hour you have: early, late, or on a lunch break. The check-in calls are Monday to Wednesday evenings on Zoom, and Demo Day is Thursday, in person in San Francisco or on Zoom from anywhere; come when your week allows.
"I'm away for a week. I'd miss the middle and have to restart."
The lessons travel with you, and the live calls are recorded. All six modules stay available, so take the week you need and return to the next check-in call when you are ready.
"I'm not technical. Is this for me?"
Yes. No coding background is needed and week 1 assumes you are starting from zero. You will use a terminal and Claude Code in week 2, and the lessons walk you through it. What you need is a laptop and one real task you want gone.
"I thought it would be more technical."
It may not be for you, and we would rather say so now. This is about deploying working AI systems for a business: agents, automations, voice, evals, security. It does not teach machine-learning theory or how to train a model.
"How do I know this is real?"
Look before you pay. Our YouTube channel has real footage of sessions at the school: https://www.youtube.com/@aistartacademy. The free lessons and the Modern AI Thesaurus are on the hub, and if you still have questions, request a call.
"I won't pay attention on a screen."
Then don't rely on the screen alone. On the check-in calls an engineer works through your project with you, and every Thursday you show your work in the room at Demo Day, 1769 15th Street. The online lessons are short videos followed by work you do and submit.
"Is the price per class or for the whole thing?"
For the whole thing. The price depends on the support you pick: how many weeks our engineers are on call for you in check-in calls. The lessons, the guided labs and the workbook are the same for everyone, and they stay open after. Demo Days are free. It is not per class. Prices for each track are on the hub.
"Why not just learn it on YouTube?"
You can. The information is free. What is usually missing is structure: an order to learn things in, a task at the end of every lesson that gets checked, a group that expects to see your work on Thursday, and someone to ask when it breaks. If you have been watching videos for months and nothing is running yet, that is the gap this fills.
Two programs. Four tracks. One price per track.
AI Career · AI Automation Agency
It is one price per track, not per class. The six core modules are the same in both programs and stay open after; the Agency tracks add the agency lessons. Your track sets how many weeks you spread them over and how many check-in calls with our engineers you get: Intensive · Core (2 weeks) and Intensive · Agency (3 weeks), both Monday to Friday, or Evening · Core (4 weeks) and Evening · Agency (6 weeks). Prices for each track are on the hub.
What your seat includes:
- all six modules, available from day one
- the AISA Bootcamp Workbook, with every lesson following a chapter
- a guided lab, a quiz and automatic feedback on your work in every lesson
- a Stuck? debugging brief at the end of every lab
- the bootcamp chat
- check-in calls with engineers on Zoom, Monday to Wednesday evenings, for the weeks of your track
- Demo Day every Thursday, in person in San Francisco or on Zoom from anywhere, free, always
- a certificate for your LinkedIn profile, with a verification link

AI for your business: questions and answers
- Both take the same AI Automation Agency Bootcamp. Owners use their own business as the project for every build. The agency lessons cover content, SEO for AI search and writing an offer, which owners use to explain and market what they built.
- No coding background is required. You build with tools such as Claude Code and n8n, and the lessons start from the basics.
- Yes. The tasks are written so you can use your own documents, customer questions and tools. The security module covers what an agent should and should not be allowed to see.
- It depends on your track. Two programs, four tracks: the AI Career Bootcamp (Intensive · Core, 2 weeks, or Evening · Core, 4 weeks) and the AI Automation Agency Bootcamp (Intensive · Agency, 3 weeks, or Evening · Agency, 6 weeks). Start any time; you join the cohort running this month, and the lessons stay open after your weeks end.
- Check-in calls are Monday to Wednesday, 7–9pm PT, on Zoom. Demo Day is every Thursday at 7pm PT, in person at 1769 15th Street, San Francisco, and on Zoom.
- Every lab ends with a Stuck? brief for the usual problems. Ask in the bootcamp chat, and bring what still breaks to the next check-in call, Monday to Wednesday from 7 to 9pm PT.
- Yes. Email hello@aistartacademy.com with how many people and what they do, and we will set your team up in the same cohort.
- Yes. If the bootcamp is not for you, email hello@aistartacademy.com and we refund you.
- Yes. Email hello@aistartacademy.com and we set up an individual payment plan for you.
- At the end you receive a certificate from AI START academy with a verification link you can add to your LinkedIn profile.
