AI changes every week, so the Academy does too. New tools, new lessons and a briefing on what changed land every week, so you stay at the forefront instead of playing catch-up.

Most courses are out of date the day they're published. This one is built to keep moving.
Real tools built with AI, taken apart step by step so you can build your own version.

Whole new courses land as new skills become essential, from agents to whatever comes next.

Who's teaching
I’m Lee Mallon, an AI lead and an engineer for 25 years. I’ve started and run several businesses along the way, and my work today spans YALPOP, my podcast The AI Shift and Rarely Impossible, my privacy-first app studio.
I wrote Dynamic Knowledge Rendering (DKR) and I’m writing my next book, HALO. I’ve worked and travelled all over the world, and I’ve trained more than 2,500 people in AI across different industries, roles and levels of starting confidence.
I use this technology around 16 hours a day, 7 days a week. The Academy turns that, and the thoughts and experiments I share every week, into short lessons you can take with your coffee.
