Hey there!

Now is the best time to build things in history.

That's because learning to code is 10x easier than it was a year ago, thanks to ChatGPT. It's an incredible creative powerup that can help you bring your ideas to life whatever they are.

If you want to learn to leverage the power of ChatGPT to build your dreams, you should take my course: How To Build a GPT-4 Chatbot.

It's a hybrid cohort-based course that will empower you to create your very own GPT-4 based knowledge assistant in under 30 days. The course will run from November 20th to December 19th, meeting once a week for four weeks. In January, you'll get to launch your final chatbot to Every's audience of 90,000 people.

Here’s the deal: the course typically costs $2,000, but because you're an Every subscriber you can enroll for just $1,300:

Why this course is important

If your hands touch a keyboard for work, AI is going to change your job in the next 5 years.

Sometimes when I think about this my stomach hurts. One, because I’m not sure how useful my skills will be in the future. But two, because I just don’t know what the future looks like. 

What I’ve realized though, is that when it comes to AI I can either panic—or I can dive in head first. Over the last 12 months, I’ve learned everything I can from top to bottom about AI: how it’s built, how to write with it, how to code with it, and how to use it to increase my productivity.

The AI app that I keep coming back to is the chatbot. I like building them, and people like using them. I've built a bot for the #1 business Substacker Lenny Rachitsky, I've built a bot based on the Huberman Lab podcast, and I've even talked GPT-4 into building a clone of ChatGPT.

I love these bots because making one teaches all of the basic skills you need to learn in order to start building in AI—with AI.

That’s why I’m relaunching my chatbot course today through Every:

How to Build a GPT-4 Chat Bot: Ship a Personal AI in 30 Days

In this course, you’ll learn how to make your own GPT-4 based AI knowledge assistant in less than 30 days.

It will scan through your notes, quotes, journal entries, and other data sources to help you write better, make more informed decisions, and develop new ideas.

You’ll learn how to build AI—with AI and get a massive boost in your ability to make anything you want going forward.

At the end of the month, you’ll demo your chatbot for your classmates, and have the opportunity to launch it to Every’s audience of 90,000 AI early adopters.

You don’t need to be a great programmer to do this. All you need is the desire to learn and the tenacity to stick with it. (Not sure if this is you? If you can follow this article you’ll be in good shape.)

In the class, you’ll learn how to: 

✅ Build, code, and ship a powerful AI chatbot

✅ Understand the foundational technologies of AI: GPT-4, GPT-4 function calling, ChatGPT, vector databases, and LLM libraries like Langchain and LllamaIndex

✅ Launch your chatbot to Every’s audience of 90,000 early adopters
