What it solves

Most AI education either teaches you to prompt a tool or to build one. This curriculum fills the gap: it shows how to turn AI-generated image, video, or audio — or a tool you build with a coding agent — into an actual, priced, sellable service or product. Every module ends with pricing, positioning, and where to find your first client, not just a technical walkthrough.

How it works

The repository contains 15 independent tracks, each focused on a specific business niche (e.g., AI video ads, faceless channels, product photography, real estate staging). Each track is built from modules that follow a fixed structure: Problem, Concept, Do It, Compare Tools, Launch It, Exercises. The "Compare Tools" section honestly weighs API-based generation, other paid tools, and local/self-hosted options like ComfyUI. The "Launch It" section covers real pricing ranges (e.g., $10–$55 per ad, $1,500–$3,000/mo retainers) and client-acquisition steps. The curriculum is free and open source; only Track 1 (AI Video Ads & UGC) is fully written so far, acting as a pilot that proves the format before the other tracks are completed.

Who it's for

Creators, freelancers, and agencies who want to make money with generative AI without needing to code. Every module is written for non-technical readers — the most technical step is typically calling a generation API or using a tool's UI. Those who want to go further can explore Track 15, which covers using coding agents to build your own sellable micro-tools, with no prior programming background required.

Highlights

• Free and open-source (MIT license).
• 15 tracks covering diverse niches, from AI video ads to AI real estate staging.
• Every module includes concrete pricing and client-finding guidance, not just tool usage.
• Honest comparison of API, paid tool, and local/self-hosted options in each module.
• Track 1 is fully written and serves as a proof-of-format pilot; a roadmap lists the remaining tracks.
