Getting Good with AI: The End of the Beginning 👩‍💻🤖

In April 2025, we asked:

How can we help people like us get good with AI?

We wanted to understand how it actually works (why its maths, not magic), how to prompt better, reduce hallucinations, build “AI teammates,” and even start connecting LLMs into early automations.

Luckily I managed to persuade prompt-Queen, Cien Solon to join me, and together we ran a few workshops, and got some great feedback - mostly summed up by:

“We need more help.”

Enter Henry C. Blanchard - startup teacher, super-geek, to complete our team.

We launched the first 6-week Good with AI cohort in June. 25 curious, talented humans signed up and off we went.

Yesterday we completed our 4th and 5th cohorts, and here’s where we are now:

💡 110 people are now Good with AI!
 🧠 30 x 90-minute live demo / build / share sessions
🎓 1-to-1 onboarding and mentoring
⚙️ 100s of custom flows, prompts, and creative builds
💰 £50k revenue

Most importantly — the evidence and confidence to say: Let's start a new human-led, education company and community to help 1000s of people and teams navigate this fast changing world of work.

What’s worked so far:

 ✅ Focus on practical outcomes, good ethics, and keeping it creative
 ✅ Make it fun and community-driven (quizzes, challenges, targets)
 ✅ Deliver in real time - human first, AI-powered, adapting as we go

What’s next?

Iterate and improve...

 🚀 3 x new cohorts launching Jan 2026 (including our first in-person)
🎓 Fortnightly: Good with AI club for all our grads - learn, build, improve
👉 Weekly: a short, easy-digest newsletter to help you get good with AI

Huge thanks to all our early adopting students who took a punt on us, and to those who shared, or championed Good with AI so far - you’ve helped shape something genuinely useful.

p.s Yes, we used AI to edit this post. But the first draft was us.
Keeping the human in the loop is key to getting good with AI.
